Overview
The postcard valleys of the Dolomites are a paradise for any outdoor activity, and the gentle bike paths that criss-cross the region are perfect for bicycle travel. Tucked into the eastern corner of the Italian Alps, the stunning Dolomites have been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site to recognize and preserve their “exceptional natural beauty.” Settled from pre-historic times (as evidenced by the now-famous Otzi mummy in Bolzano), this region is also the cradle of the South Tyrolean culture and people (and a politically autonomous region within Italy). Featuring majestic landscapes and scenery, Italian and Austrian-German cuisine, and a unique and incredibly preserved history and way of life, the Dolomites region provides all the elements of a great bicycle tour. On this flexible, self-guided itinerary, you can choose to cycle on the rolling valley floors, or challenge yourself on epic mountain climbs.Highlights

Keep in mind
We work hard to maintain consistency across all of our tours, but some trips have unique differences. Here are some things to keep in mind about this tour.
- The final itinerary, including hotels and/or activities described here, are subject to change according to availability.
- City hotel taxes are not included.
This tour includes level 1 as well as level 2 rides, and is apt for beginner cyclists who are fit.
Longer distance rides with higher difficulty levels are available on most days, making this tour a great option for intermediate to advanced cyclists. Please inquire when requesting dates.
The itinerary includes short stretches of bike paths with hard packed dirt/gravel sections that could prove difficult for less experienced cyclists if using a road bike with thin tires; if you are not experienced on hard packed dirt/gravel, we recommend renting our aluminum hybrid bike or our e-bikes, with thicker tires that make the bike paths easier to manage. If you have any questions about this, please ask us, we’ll be happy to answer in detail.
