26.5.2008

On 26th May 2008 you can see the pros firsthand because the Giro d’Italia will take place again in the Pustertal Valley in 2008. The “Giro” will start in Sicily on 10th May and the 16th stage goal will be the 2,275-metre-high Kronplatz. After two stages in the high mountains from Verona up to the Passo Manghen and the final ascent to the Alpe di Pampeago the race leads from Arabba to the Passo Pordoi and to the Passo di San Pellegrino. Then they cycle on to Passo Giau and Passo Falzarego, and the arrival at the Passo Fedaia concludes the 15th stage. The 13.8 kilometres should then be covered as fast as possible. From St. Vigil in Enneberg the race continues to the Furkel mountain pass on 1,789 metres and on to the Kronplatz – with different sections includingmore than 20 per cent ascending slope. A fantastic race which assures a unique panoramic view! By the way, the cycle route on the Kronplatz Mountain with its stunning panorama is open all summer long for you!
