New for Summer 2026
Faloria Bike Express
The route starts from Rifugio Faloria and leads down to Rio Gere along 4.38 km of trail running entirely through the forest. With approximately 410 metres of descent and an estimated riding time of around twenty minutes, the Faloria Bike Express is ideal for those approaching the world of mountain biking for the first time, as well as for anyone who simply wants to discover the area from a different perspective.
Once you reach Rio Gere, you can head down towards the centre of Cortina along forest paths, or take the chairlift up to Son Forca and venture through Val Padeon, before returning to Cortina along the former railway route.
