Know Before You Go!

We want you to be fully prepared for your cycling vacation of a lifetime. This involves making sure that you choose the appropriate trip for you and that every aspect of your experience is flawless. Each Trek Travel trip is unique to ensure maximum enjoyment every time.

Your Trip Need to Knows:

  • Road conditions: When planning this tour, we avoid busy roads as much as possible but some of the most famous climbs are a paradise for motorcyclists and drivers as well as cyclists. So be prepared for some traffic (cars, motorcycles, and buses) on the Sellaronda (tour of the Four Passes in the Dolomites) and over Stelvio. People are generally very respectful of cyclists, but you must be comfortable riding in motorized traffic.
  • Weather and Packing: The weather is notoriously unpredictable in the mountains. You can experience all seasons in one day so bringing layers is key! Layering is the best way to regulate your body temperature. This tried-and-true strategy is all about slipping layers on and off as your activity level or the weather changes. The key items of clothing to remember are long-fingered gloves, arm warmers, leg warmers, a vest, and a rain jacket for the summit and descent.
  • Riding skills: This is one of the most challenging trips we offer, with hardly any flat riding and lots of elevation gain each day. Expect long sustained climbs, narrow roads, technical descends with tight turns, and long hours in the saddle. Advanced fitness as well as bike handling skills are key for this trip.

FAQs

Daytime temperatures can reach 80ºF (27ºC) and can go higher in the low-lying valleys. Evenings tend to be cool and fresh. Even in summer months, mountain weather conditions can change dramatically from one hour to the next. In just a few minutes a thunder storm can roll in when the sky was perfectly clear, and in just a few hours the temperatures can drop from extremely hot temperatures to temperatures that are below freezing. Therefore, we recommend bringing a variety of cycling gear that prepares you for cold, wet, or warm weather. Please, be prepared by bringing layers for cool descents and rain gear for possible rain showers. Layers are key when riding in the mountains! View our Packing List
