Anyone who watches cycling on TV has probably dreamed of the climbs themselves. The dream of zooming across the slopes of the Galibier, the Tourmalet, or the Sella Ronda, for example, is in reality quite different. Especially in France, many roads are very busy in the summer. The Sella Ronda is also a well-known tourist attraction. No free descents or pleasant climbs. But there is a silver lining. Many destinations value a car-free day, both for cyclists and for nature. Therefore, here are 5x car-free days in the mountains, which you can still enjoy now!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sella Ronda Bike Day<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Sella Ronda is an absolute classic for cycling in the Dolomites. The approximately 60-kilometer route, which includes the Passo Sella, Pordoi, Campolongo, and Gardena. In a year there are only two times to cycle this route without other traffic on the route: the Marathon of the Dolomites<\/a> and Sella Ronda Bike Day<\/a>. The Marathon is an event with limited access, where approximately 9000 people get the chance to cycle the route every year. Everyone is welcome at the Sella Ronda Bike Day. From 08:30 in the morning until 16:00 in the afternoon, you can enjoy yourself. This year the Sella Ronda is car-free on June 10, 2023 and on September 16 of this year. Go quickly to the website to find out more about it! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ride the Alps \u2013 Climb the Giants \u2013 Switzerland<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although Switzerland<\/a> You will already have made several villages, towns and roads car-free; you will still encounter the postbox in every village. That is why the Ride the Alps \u2013 Climb the Giants initiative is taking place in the Valais \u2013 Wallis province. For five days in 2023, cars are off the road and cyclists have free rein to climb, among other things, to the Sanetsch<\/a> only, Lake of Tseuzier<\/a> and Col du Crans-Montana<\/a>. Here too, the advantage is that the often narrow roads are completely suitable for the two-wheeler. This is a big plus not only for climbing, but also for descending. The data for these climbs and car-free days:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
