› Coppa D'Oro and Dolomites

The myth of the Coppa d’Oro results from its great competition past and the fact that it takes place in one of the most beautiful and fancy places in the world.

In fact the match “sport and tourism” has been created since the 1st edition. The historical route looked like a big ring around the Belluno Dolomites. It touched the “Cinque Torri-Pocol”, around Marmolada mount (Penia Peak is the highest summit in the Dolomites with 3342 mt.) It then passed by Pale di San Martino, down to Feltre, it coasted the Feltrine Peaks and the Schiara, it entered the Cavallera road towards the Cadore valley.

The Antelao and the Marmarole stand out and the route went on, after Auronzo, towards Misurina lake, overlooked by the Sorapiss, Cristallo mountains and Cadini. Not too far hidden north, the outline of the Tre Cime di Lavaredo. Finally, before returning to Cortina, it passed on foot of the Tofane and Pomagagnon. The modern edition route, due to the regulation of Classic Regularity, changes from edition to edition.

The Dolomites, but we could say the entire Belluno province, are the ideal environment to carry out a great event for historical cars.

The Dolomites always offer a plain and wild nature, breathtaking landscapes, a warm and familiar atmosphere, almost back to the past. Visitors will find well-equipped facilities both in winter and summer, as well as indications of a close past strongly linked to nature: the persistance of the old “regole” which ensure civic uses, the gastronomy, genuine, simple but delightfully savory, the “toulà” (barns) on the back of the “ciàsa” (house) or the “tabià” in the fields and finally the wooden houses following an old nordic building technique.

But the Dolomites fashinate their inhabitants first. How to forget the bright colours of the first Tiziano, the utmost painter of the Serenissima Repubblic, born in Pieve di Cadore?

How not to let us go to the dreamy sleep of Dino Buzzati, from Belluno, journalist and famous novelist, who wondered whether the Dolomites where rocks or dreams?
