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, the Passo dello Stelvio, and the Passo di Gavia 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, Indurain, Hampsten, and Coppi as you ride the serpentine roads of the Strada delle Dolomiti before concluding with the final ascent to the Madonna della Ghisallo. 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 refuelling on homemade Italian pasta, bruschetta, tiramisu, and some of Italy's finest wines. 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!
