Dolomite Multisport Adventure Tour

After enjoying the signature breakfast with freshly-made South Tyrolean pastries, homemade jams, and the unparalleled views at our hotel's patio, we'll gather to discuss the events of the day. We'll start the ride with a relaxing spin on the east of the Venosta Valley in the direction of Malles and the iconic Stelvio. We won't quite get that far as we will stop at the small town of Castelbello and pay a visit to the medieval castle, the town’s jewel. After savoring a typical bistro lunch in this quaint mountain town, you can hop on your bike and ride a similar route back to our starting point. Alternatively, feel free to reward yourself with a shuttle and enjoy the luxury services of our marvelous hotel. This afternoon, we will meet Elizabeta who will introduce us to the history of the "flower city" of South-Tyrol. Dinner tonight is at a lovely restaurant in the heart of the medieval center of Merano that wholeheartedly embraces the slow food movement.

Park your bikes for today and lace up your hiking boots. This area has as much to offer on two feet as it does on our beloved two wheels. After your morning cappuccino, we will head out for a hike through the hills surrounding our hotel. Starting from a local farm, we will head out on a circular loop through the edge of the mountains towering over Merano. Take in the views from the top as the mountain-tops stretch as far as the eye can see. We circle inland to visit a real local gem, the Sinichbach cascade. The end of our hiking adventures will find us back where we started, at Greiterhof Farm. There we'll be rewarded not only with the stunning views of the valley but also with a farm-to-table lunch. Alexandre and his family are happy to welcome us to their mountain home where they farm, produce, and prepare everything on the menu. Take your time to stroll through the grounds and visit the animals before continuing back to the hotel. This afternoon, choose to indulge in a yoga class on the hotel's terrace, simply relax in one of the three different healing spas of the hotel, or perhaps enjoy their stunning rooftop pool. We will dine in town, in a hidden culinary delight that embodies healthy and simple cuisine with a voyage of flavor and senses.

Featured meal:

Greiter - Farm-to-Table

Alexandre and his family choose a life of simplicity with an everlasting love of nature and its beings. They are delighted to welcome us in the farmhouse and share with us their wonderful products as well as their philosophy on life. Simple yet authentic, this meal will leave you with powerful impressions as experiences like this are rare and far between.

This morning we bid farewell to Merano, South Tyrol, and the Austrian way of life and head toward la vera dolce vita! A morning shuttle through the Brenta mountain range of the Dolomiti Massiff, passing over the colossal Cima Tossa, will bring us to the starting point of our ride today. After savoring a second cafe Macchiato, hop on your Trek Domane and take off around the panoramic lakes and exuberant vineyards of south Trentino. Enjoy a fresh, light Italian lunch and choose to follow the circuitous bike paths all the way to the lake, or exit for a scenic climb and stunning descent to Italy's biggest lake. Our home for the rest of the trip is the magnificent Riva del Garda, "the jewel" of the lake. Tonight is yours to discover the hidden corners of the town and dine at the restaurant of your choice. Gelato anyone?

Today Lake Garda will put on a show to impress you. We will start off the day by biking north through lush vineyards and fragrant cypress trees. Views of the impressive Castello d'Arco are sure to inspire awe as we ride next to the quiet, rumbling Arco river. Lunch is on your own to enjoy as you explore the vivid center of the town of Torbole. Don't be late to regroup for our thrilling afternoon canyoning adventure! Our expert canyoning guides will introduce us to the narrows of the Valle di Ledro canyon, where we will swim, slide, and abseil away the afternoon. Che Bellezza! Later, dress up for a date with the sunset. We will embark on a sailboat and head south toward the endless blue waters. Raise a glass to a week of beautiful memories with old and newly-found friends. Our final dinner carries the signature and imaginative preparation of Michelin-starred chef Leonardo Luppi, in a small yet elegant space overlooking the enchanting lake.

It’s the last day of our Italy adventure tour in this spellbinding region, but that doesn’t mean we have to go out quietly. Today is your day to enjoy the cool morning breeze out on the waters of the lake. This morning, choose between a stand-up paddle or a kayak for your last excursion on the water. After you have returned, the bountiful breakfast buffet of the hotel will still await you and a second cappuccino is never a bad idea. You will bid farewell to your guides at the hotel at 11:00 AM and board a private shuttle to the enchanting city of Verona.
