35 motor hotels in region northern italy, italy

Northern Italy can mean two very different rides: the famous high passes, or the smaller roads where you actually make progress. Stelvio is the name everybody knows, and yes, it is worth seeing once. But do not expect a flowing race track; the tight hairpins and traffic can make it more work than fun. For riding pleasure, the Dolomites are hard to beat. Around Arabba, Canazei, Corvara and Cortina you can make loops over passes like Pordoi, Sella, Gardena and Falzarego. Start early, stop often, and keep an eye on buses and cyclists. The views are ridiculous, but the road still needs your attention.
