The tour at a glance
Looking for a cycling tour in the Dolomites that combines epic challenges, UNESCO World Heritage landscapes and the magic of one of the world's most iconic mountain territories?
The Dolomites are every cyclist's dream — legendary passes, roads that climb towards the sky and views that take your breath away at every turn!
Cycling in the Dolomites means taking on the mountains in their most spectacular form, in a territory that has written unforgettable chapters in the history of world cycling!
Tour itinerary
We start with a Shake-Down Ride: the perfect way to get to know each other, find the right rhythm and get a feel for the terrain before diving into the heart of the adventure!
Day two is what every cyclist dreams of: the legendary Four Passes loop, a sequence of iconic hairpin climbs — Campolongo, Pordoi, Sella and Gardena — surrounded by rock walls and views that look painted!
We close in style with the climb to Passo Gardena, riding past alpine pastures and mountain huts, with the spires of the Sassolungo accompanying every pedal stroke all the way to the top!
☀️ Climate and Best Time to Visit: The Dolomites are a spectacular cycling destination from June to September, when the mountain passes are free of snow and high-altitude temperatures are ideal for climbing. July and August offer the longest, most stable days, but September is the golden month: tourist traffic thins out, the air becomes crisper and the larch forests begin to turn gold — a unique backdrop for tackling the great climbs!
🍷 Local food and wine: The Dolomites are a borderland where Mediterranean flavors meet Central European tradition. From canederli (dumplings) to speck, from mountain-pasture cheese to classics like apple strudel; not to mention polenta served with wild porcini mushrooms from the surrounding forests. All paired with white wines from Alto Adige and craft mountain beers — the perfect refreshment after every hairpin conquered!
🧭 Terrain type: The Dolomiti Week-End Escape routes run on high-altitude asphalt, along the great Dolomite passes made famous by the Giro d'Italia: challenging gradients, scenic switchbacks and excellent road surfaces. A true open-air training ground for every road cyclist!
🎮 Extra activities for non-cycling guests: The Dolomites, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, offer incredible experiences for those who prefer not to ride too! From alpine huts reachable on foot, to mountain lakes to discover, Ladin villages rich in history, and shopping in Ortisei or Corvara — the days fly by for non-cyclists too!
