Join us on a gravel bike tour in the Dolomites of northern Italy with incredible rides on a mix of historic mule tracks and forested roads.

Experience a unique gravel bike tour in Italy that spans the Venetian Pre-Alps and the dramatic Dolomites. Start from the lesser-known Asiago Plateau, cycling through historical sites dotted with WWI memorials. Then, transition to the foothills of the southern Dolomites, known for their imposing vertical walls and breathtaking views. We'll take you off the beaten path through lush alpine pastures and hike to a traditional malghe, mountain huts where you’ll taste authentic regional cheeses and dishes. You’ll discover the verdant beauty in the high mountain pastures of Paneveggio Natural Park. This adventure offers a blend of impressive rides, historical insights, and local gastronomy, set against some of Italy’s most stunning landscapes.

What Guests are Saying
Three cyclists smiling with a mountain in the background

I am so thrilled to have designed a gravel trip on these beautiful Italian mountains that I call home, and where I have experienced the most memorable hikes, biking adventures, and ski days of my life. I can't wait for you all to come and ride the most breathtaking dirt roads through unspoilt meadows and woods, discovering a picturesque territory steeped in history and with long-life traditions. Every day will surprise you with new postcard scenery as well as culinary delights. I can’t imagine a better finale than riding at the foothills of the imposing Dolomite mountains — they offer the most spectacular views in the world. This is truly a gravel paradise and I am sure you will love it as much as I do!

This was the most incredible travel experience I’ve ever had! Amazing group of people. Incredible guides…they made an experience that I will never forget. Stunning scenery, amazing food and hotels The equipment, Trek Checkpoint SLR, was fantastic! Couldn’t quite get over just how competant a bike this was for all the terrain it covered! The dining experiences, whether we were sitting at a cafe or Refugio, or a full sit down restaurant experience, it was so appropriate for the time of day and our activity level! Just amazing!

Trek Travel, of which we have participated in 14 tours (and counting!), has stood out amongst the crowd of bicycle tour operators in several aspects. First and foremost, the heart of your business: The guides. Whatever it is you do to train them (and we’ve heard stories!) is perfect. They bring to the table not only their amazing people skills (read: PATIENCE), but a fun-loving spirit that does not seem disingenuous. They have a set of mechanical skills that proves invaluable. Trust me, we’ve done trips with companies larger than yours where the guides had no idea how to fix a mechanical issue on a bicycle.

Every day the path forward offers paved roads, crushed gravel, hiking trails, logging roads and many a hidden gem. This Trek Travel adventure is truly a ONE OF KIND experience!

The Domane+ performed as well as the Checkpoint bikes. The pedal assist was a game changer in allowing me to really enjoy the climbs and the routes and the other guests. Excellent restaurant choices highlighting the local cuisine. The Guides took great care in planning the restaurants and the food was a wonderful part of the trip. Could not have asked for anything better nor different. Bravo!

Trip Inclusions

Additional Details

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:

  • Activity level and terrain: The terrain on this trip falls under our classification of Level 3 as it relates to distance and elevation gain for all “Today’s” ride options, however, the gravel conditions in Asiago and in the Dolomites present numerous sections of road that have chunky gravel rocks and some punchy climbs on loose gravel which is what makes it a Level 3/4 trip. Experience riding in these conditions is recommended in order to fully enjoy the trip. If you are new to gravel and want to experience a gravel trip in the mountains, we recommend you opt for our Scotland Gravel or Croatia Gravel bike tours. Please, see our “Activity Information” section above for more information.
  • E-Bikes: E-bike speeds vary worldwide due to local regulations, which determine how fast you can ride with assistance. See the E-bike speed chart to see the maximum speeds allowed in each region.
  • 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.
  • Nature breaks: Getting off the beaten path means there may be limited services during gravel rides. There may not be traditional restrooms available on some routes, but there will be plenty of trees.
  • Lunches: On some rides, we may opt for a simple picnic style lunch on the route or a more traditional cafe lunch at or near the end of the ride when we are back in town.
  • Road conditions: Gravel roads are dynamic by nature. Road surfaces change throughout the year depending on maintenance (grading, adding new gravel) and weather, particularly rain. Our guides constantly monitor road conditions and may change the routes as needed to provide the best possible riding experience.
  • Air conditioning: Storico Hotel Regina, like many mountain hotels, is not equipped with air conditioning. However, hotels at higher altitudes typically experience cooler temperatures at night during the summer months.

Before and After Your Trip

FAQs

The summer months (June, July and August) are the warmest time of the year in the Asiago Plateau and in the Dolomites, with low chances of rain. In July the average daily high temperature is around 72°F (22°C) and low is 56°F (13°C), with temperatures rarely dropping below 53°F (11°C) at night. July is also the sunniest month of the year, with an average of 200 hours of sunshine per month. Summer storms are more frequent in August.
