Without question one of the most dramatic and stunning mountain ranges on the planet, the Dolomites and their jagged spires have poetically been referred to as "God's backyard." With their awe-inspiring beauty, the Dolomites have also been the primary inspiration for some of the most legendary and historic stages of the Giro d'Italia! Such famed climbs as Passo di Pordoi, the Marmolada, Monte Zoncolan, Plan de Corones, the Passo Sella, and the Tre Cime di Lavaredo have tested the strength and stamina of the world's fittest cyclists for decades. Now, it's your turn....

During the course of our point-to-point tour through the Italian Dolomiti, you'll feel the presence of all the Giro greats like Merckx, Hinault, Coppi, Moser, Fignon and Gimondi as you ride the serpentine roads of the Strada delle Dolomiti. You will be amazed at the jutting, limestone peaks that rise straight up into the sky as well as the postcard-like alpine villages that dot the landscape and know how to welcome cyclists. Following each day's ride, you'll look forward to relaxing in spas and refuelling on homemade Italian pasta, bruschetta, tiramisu, and some of Italy's finest wines at our 4-star hotels in Cortina d'Ampezzo and Colfosco. Make your reservations today for one of the greatest rides of your life that will definitely take you to the heights in true Italian style as your ride the classic climbs of the Giro d'Italia!
