Top Dolomites packs roughly 2,780 meters of climbing into 111 kilometers around the Brenta Dolomites
Start/finish in Pinzolo, in the Brenta Dolomites (Trentino), not in Trento city as this profile previously said. The 2026 festival ran June 5-7 with two competitive road distances on Sunday, June 7: a 111 km Granfondo (2,780 m official route-page elevation) and a 77 km Mediofondo (1,930 m). The climbing through the Brenta Dolomites on the 111 km Granfondo route -- roughly 2,700-2,800 m of gain.
For the rider chasing a competitive result on nine to thirteen hours a week, this twelve-week plan develops repeatable Dolomite climbing, descending confidence, fueling, and fatigue-resistant power across a compact mountain course so the decisive moves at the repeated Brenta Dolomites climbs that total roughly 2,780 meters in 111 kilometers are still available.
INSIDE THE COMPETE PLAN — 9–13 HR/WK

Hey, I'm Matti. I spent 11 years at TrainingPeaks, where they trusted me to teach coaches how to coach at TrainingPeaks University. I raced Amateur Elite with Rio Grande Cycling Team and podiumed my age group at Unbound 200 in 2026. I have a degree in biology and exercise physiology from St. Olaf. I'm also a middle-aged dad of three, so I know training doesn't happen in a vacuum. I help gravel riders get stupidly fast without becoming the person who brings a food scale to a party
