The morning air in Cortina bites clear and cold, and the ring of cleats on pavement marks the beginning of a six‑hour ride from the town’s cycle path. Riders line up at the bike rental, choosing between a nimble mountain bike or the steady push of an e‑bike; the guide checks tires and maps a route that could climb toward Tofana or drop into the forested Conca for a fast, rooty descent.
