Dolomites Bike + Adventure Tour

Meet your guides at the Venice Marco Polo Airport for a transfer to a crystal-clear mountain lake at the gateway to the Dolomites. After a leisurely lunch, get fitted to the bikes and set off into the Cadore Valley, surrounded by towering limestone peaks. Our route follows a historic railway line converted into a dedicated bike path, ensuring traffic-free riding on our way to Cortina d’Ampezzo—the queen of Italian mountain resorts and host of the 2026 Winter Olympics. Our first luxury hotel awaits in a spectacular setting just outside of town. Settle into your room and unwind in the spa. Tonight, we’ll gather for a special farmhouse dinner where the focus is on locally sourced and foraged ingredients.

We’re back on the bikes this morning! Start the day by riding over the pass across the linguistic border into German-speaking territory and the blue-green waters of the Toblacher See. Pedal along the valley floor and explore the typical Tyrolean towns of Villabassa and Dobbiaco, known for its Baroque church. Meet a local farm family for a picnic lunch featuring their cheeses and other products produced onsite. From here, you may opt for an immediate transfer or some additional riding as we head up into the higher mountains and our next boutique hotel. Dine here tonight as we enjoy the scenery and watch the sun set over the rosy peaks. 

Today we leave our bikes behind for a hike that will knock your socks off. Starting from a trailhead just outside of San Cassiano, our route takes us along a scenic mountain ridgeline, weaving in and out of larch forests and between jagged rock formations. We may even glimpse the curious resident marmots peering up from their burrows beneath blankets of wildflowers. Our trek culminates at the Pralongia Plateau, a high mountain meadow known as the “amphitheater of the Dolomites” for its panoramic views of the surrounding peaks. Savor lunch with a view before catching a cable car back to the hotel. Tonight we’ll head to a maso “typical Tyrolean farmhouse” for dinner. 

Start riding from the green pastures of San Vigilio as we follow a secret road past onion-domed churches and family farms out into the Val Pusteria. This strategic area contains some of the main passes between Germany and Italy and the local bishops used this influence to become important political players in the Middle Ages. We can admire the magnificence of the local church at the impressive Novacella Abbey and lunch at a family-run winery. After lunch opt to ride or transfer up the mountain to our final spa hotel. Soak in the pools while soaking up the views as we enjoy some well-earned repose before heading into the bustling town of Bressanone to explore the local dining scene. Your guides are happy to make recommendations or reservations.

Today we leave the bikes behind for a hike that will knock your socks off. Setting out along the grassy ridgelines of the Plose Massif, our route takes us through a series of verdant meadows dotted with shepherds’ huts. We may even glimpse curious resident marmots peering up from their burrows beneath blankets of wildflowers. Enjoy panoramic views of the Odle Group, some of the most iconic peaks in the Dolomites, then savor lunch at a welcoming mountain refuge. Afterward, opt for a longer or shorter walk back to the cable car that brings us down to the hotel. This evening we’ll gather on the terrace to toast our week together before a beautiful alpine dinner.

This morning, choose to sleep in and enjoy a leisurely breakfast or take a stroll through the forest or final ride. Later we’ll transfer you to the regional capital of Bolzano and see you off as you continue on to your next destination.
