What Guests are Saying
Three people smiling at the camera

This was a fantastic first Trek Travel experience for me. The mountain scenery was awe inspiring, quite achingly beautiful, and the climbs were a strong challenge for my capabilities. I feel refreshed and accomplished. I cannot thank Miqui and Pol enough. They were fantastically supportive, kind and generous with their comments and time. I felt safe and secure in their capable hands and I will absolutely book another Trek Travel trip again.

DL:the Sellaronda loop

Our two guides were professional, detailed, thoughtful and dedicated. I could not have had a better 5 days cycling huge hills and revelling in the swirling descents. I was most impressed by the rental bikes, the included Garmin with easy to follow routes. Of course, our two guides made it all happen. Huge thanks for all the work behind the scenes to make this first Trek Travel trip amazing. I’ll be back.

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:

  • 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 on a few valley roads. 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 descents with tight turns, and long hours in the saddle. Advanced fitness as well as bike handling skills are key for this trip.
  • Hotel: To ensure an exceptional experience on our Dolomites bike tour, we have selected the hotel for its stunning location, prioritizing natural beauty over luxurious amenities. Please note that the hotel is Explorer-level and while it is very comfortable, it provides more basic bathroom products and services.

FAQs

Daytime temperatures can reach 80 degrees Fahrenheit (27 degrees Celsius) and can increase upwards from there in the low-lying valleys. Temperatures and conditions can change quickly and evenings tend to be cool and fresh. Mountain weather conditions can change dramatically from one hour to the next. For example, 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, from cold weather, to wet weather, and 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! Also view our Packing List
