Cycling Across the Most Beautiful Passes of the Dolomites!

Join us on a journey that goes beyond expectations. The Dolomites, with their iconic mountain passes and breathtaking scenery, are a true paradise for cycling enthusiasts. Every climb—from Passo Pordoi to Passo Sella—takes you through picture-perfect alpine valleys and past crystal-clear lakes, where we’ll pause to take photos and soak in the views.

Every bend in the road reveals a new panorama that leaves you speechless, along with that unmistakable sense of freedom that only cycling in the mountains can deliver.

On average, we’ll ride around 70 km per day and climb approximately 2,005 meters of elevation.

Day 1

Welcome to Italy!

Your cycling adventure begins in Italy — and we’ll make sure everything is smooth, simple, and stress-free from the moment you arrive. We’ll pick you up at Venice Marco Polo Airport at 12:00 PM, then head straight into the Toblach, where our hotel will be waiting for us.

Once we check in, you’ll have time to get everything ready for the days ahead — bike setup, gear checks, and final adjustments — so you feel fully dialed in and prepared.

In the afternoon, you’ll have free time to explore Toblach and the surrounding area at a relaxed pace, enjoy the town atmosphere, and settle in before the riding begins.

In the evening, we’ll come together for a group dinner, the perfect chance to get to know each other, enjoy great local food, and kick off the trip the right way.

Day 2 - Cycling from Toblach to Arabba

First Turns in the Dolomites!

From the very first moment, the sheer scale of the Dolomites makes a powerful impression. This is where we unload the bikes and roll straight into our first true alpine adventure.

Our opening challenge is the climb to Rifugio Auronzo, sitting just below the legendary Tre Cime di Lavaredo. After soaking in the views, we descend back into the valley and continue over Passo Tre Croci, riding toward the vibrant heart of the Dolomites—Cortina d’Ampezzo.

From Cortina, the road points uphill again as we take on one of the most beautiful passes in the Alps: Passo Falzarego. A stop at the top is non-negotiable—the panoramic views here are nothing short of spectacular.

After a well-earned break, a long, flowing descent follows, before a gentle final climb brings us to our accommodation in Arabba. This will be our base for the entire trip—a perfect alpine hub to start strong mornings and end each day with a relaxed, well-deserved dinner.

⭐ Today’s Must-See Highlights

  • Tre Cime di Lavaredo – The most iconic peaks of the Dolomites, dramatic and unforgettable.
  • Cortina d’Ampezzo – Stylish alpine town and the beating heart of the Dolomites.
  • Passo Falzarego – One of the most scenic mountain passes in the Alps, pure wow-factor.

Day 3 - Cycling from Arabba to Arabba

The Legendary Sella Ronda!

After breakfast at the hotel, we head out for an unforgettable ride on one of the most famous cycling loops in the Dolomites—the legendary Sella Ronda. We start the circuit with the climb to Passo Pordoi, where the views over the surrounding peaks impress from the very first kilometers.

From the summit, we descend into the valley and continue toward Passo Sella, widely regarded as one of the most beautiful passes in the Dolomites. A short stop here is a must—this is pure alpine drama at its finest.

After a brief descent, the road rises again toward Passo Gardena, where we’ll take a break at a local café to refuel and enjoy the high-mountain atmosphere. The route then drops through Corvara, before we tackle the final climb of the day to Passo Campolongo—the lowest pass of the loop, yet no less scenic.

From the top of Campolongo, a smooth final descent brings us back to our base in Arabba, where well-earned rest and dinner await. A classic Dolomite day—challenging, rewarding, and absolutely unforgettable.

Day 4 - Cycling from Arabba to Arabba

Glacial Views & Dramatic Canyons!

After hotel breakfast and a morning coffee, we get ready for another unforgettable cycling adventure. The day begins with a descent out of Arabba, easing the legs before the scenery really starts to steal the show.

We soon ride into the spectacular Serrai di Sottoguda, a narrow gorge where the road cuts between towering rock walls—one of the most dramatic stretches of cycling in the Dolomites. From there, the route climbs steadily toward Passo Fedaia, famous for its wide-open panoramas.

At the top, we’re greeted by Lago di Fedaia, a stunning alpine lake where we take time to refuel, relax, and capture the views. The lake sits right beneath Marmolada, the highest mountain in the Dolomites—a truly epic backdrop.

After the break, we descend into the valley and continue past Canazei, before tackling the final challenge of the day: the climb back up to Passo Pordoi. The effort is well rewarded with unforgettable views before a fast descent brings us back to Arabba to wrap up another classic Dolomite stage.

One Last Climb, One Perfect Finish!

After breakfast, we pack up our gear and get ready for the final cycling stage in the heart of the Dolomites. The day begins with a warm-up climb to the familiar Passo Campolongo above Arabba—our last chance to soak in the views of this spectacular alpine landscape.

A smooth descent takes us down to Corvara, where the road turns upward again for a tougher but unforgettable ascent to Passo Falzarego. The effort is rewarded with wide-open panoramas and classic Dolomite scenery that feels like a highlight reel of the entire trip.

From the summit, a long and scenic descent leads us into Cortina d’Ampezzo, the lively alpine hub of the Dolomites. From here, we ride the final 30 kilometers to our journey’s endpoint—Lago di Dobbiaco.

At the lake, there’s time to truly unwind: take a refreshing dip, relax by the water, or enjoy a laid-back lunch with pizza while soaking in the peaceful alpine atmosphere. A perfect ending to an unforgettable Dolomite cycling adventure.
