Your Trek Travel guides will meet you at La Perla hotel in Corvara on the first day of your cycling tour.

Seated at about 5,144 feet in the heart of Alta Badia and at the foothills of the imposing Sassongher mountain, Corvara is a paradise for hikers, bikers, and all sports enthusiasts. In this picturesque location you'll enjoy a light lunch at the hotel as your guides familiarize you to your Trek Domane for the week, and ensure that you have a comfortable fit. After discussing the rules of bike safety and specific tips for the Dolomites, you'll hit the road conquering your first mountain passes beneath the jagged spires of the Dolomites! This evening, you’ll gather at the hotel and discuss the week ahead before you savor the diversity of flavors from the Italian cucina to fuel up for tomorrow’s adventures.

Today, you'll take on a legendary ride tied to one of the most iconic moments in Giro d’Italia history. After a warm-up climb over Campolongo Pass, you'll cruise through the Cordevole Valley before tackling the most demanding ascent of Fedaia Pass in the Veneto region. Pace yourself—the nearly one-and-a-half-mile straight stretch at a 10% grade will demand your full strength. The final few miles will push your legs to the limit with ten steep hairpin turns, each hitting double-digit gradients, but the breathtaking views of the Marmolada Glacier and Fedaia Lake make every effort worthwhile. After a well-earned break with refreshments, descend into the charming town of Canazei before taking on Passo Pordoi, an iconic climb synonymous with Fausto Coppi, the legendary Italian champion who conquered it time and again. Once in Arabba, you'll climb Campolongo one last time before reaching your hotel in Corvara to complete this unforgettable loop. Tonight you'll shuttle to a local agriturismo in the village of Badia, where you'll savor home-cooked Ladin specialties before heading to the Maratona village to pick up the race numbers.

After a hearty hotel breakfast, a one-hour private shuttle will take you to Cortina, where you'll set out on a scenic loop ride. The route begins with Passo Tre Croci, followed by the stunning shores of Lake Misurina, before tackling the legendary Tre Cime di Lavaredo climb. These three jagged peaks are among the most photographed mountains in the world and the defining symbol of the Sesto Dolomites. The ascent officially begins at Lake Misurina and stretches for four miles, with the final two and a half miles offering breathtaking views to distract from the punishing gradients. After completing the loop, you'll refuel with a well-earned lunch in the chic town of Cortina before shuttling back to Corvara. In the afternoon take some time to relax, maybe with a massage. Tonight, you'll gather and enjoy a delicious dinner at the hotel.

Today get ready to experience the Open-Air Museum of the Great War at high altitude! You'll start the day with a 40-minute shuttle to Passo Falzarego, where you'll board a cable car to reach the Lagazuoi mountain. With a local alpine guide you'll walk through the tunnels and trenches dug out by the Italian and Austro-Hungarian troops amidst spires, turrets and military huts, learning about the background of this dramatic war in the mountains, unique in the history of man. From this vantage point, the views across the Dolomites are breathtaking. After lunch at a local rifugio, you'll shuttle back to Corvara and soak in the lively pre-race buzz in town. If time allows, you can join your guides for a relaxed ride to the Maratona village to ease into tomorrow’s challenge. Tonight you'll gather for a hearty, carb-loaded dinner at a local restaurant to fuel up for tomorrow’s big ride.
