Intervals.icu

Seven passes, almost no flat

Typical sessions

4,230m of climbing across seven Dolomite passes, roughly 30m per kilometre, with no valley to recover on

The Giau, ten kilometres at over nine percent, arrives deep into the day and decides it

Falzarego into Valparola is a long grind at altitude on already-tired legs

Pass summits near 2,200m can be single digits and windy even when Corvara sits at 30C, so the descents bite

What your weeks look like

Typical sessions

Threshold builders like 2x20 sweet spot and 3x20 at FTP to hold sustained pass-climbing power

A long steep effort, 40 to 60 minutes on an 8 to 10 percent gradient, to rehearse the Giau

Big climbing days: 5 to 6 hours and 3,000m-plus over five to seven climbs, with the hardest one placed late

Final weeks add heat work, warm indoor Z2 and post-ride sauna, for the valley heat
