If you’ve ever dreamed of cycling the Giro d’Italia’s Pordoi Pass, this is your chance! Of course, we’ve planned it so you won’t have to do all the work: a shuttle to the top lets you coast down, navigating the switchbacks that have thrilled Giro d’Italia fans for years. Here, you’ll feel the awe-inspiring presence of the Queen of the Dolomites—the mountain’s highest peak. During your orientation meeting, your VBT Local Host sets you up for independent exploration, fitting you with a well-maintained bike, a navigation app with route notes, and a number you can call 24/7 if you need support. Along the way, you’ll spin along quiet bike paths through the high mountain valleys of Val di Fassa and Val di Fiemme—staying at quaint local hotels suffused with South Tyrol’s famous culture, cuisine, and cycling.
Tour Highlights
- Cycle from one small alpine city to another, taking in rich cultures steeped in remarkable history.
- Ride through the diverse landscapes of the Dolomites, from vineyard-covered hills and emerald-green valleys to sylvan forests, dramatic foothills, and a 7,000-foot mountain pass.
- Coast down a mountainside from Pordoi Pass, navigating 33 switchbacks over six miles along roads made famous by Italian cycling legend Fausto Coppi.
- Revel in some of Europe’s best-maintained bike paths—stellar routes that make up 90% of this itinerary.
- Sample the culinary delights of South Tyrol, from alpine cheeses and speck (cured ham) to Pinot Noirs along the famed Wine Route.
Very well organized tour. Did self-guided tour. Routes worked almost perfectly. Hotels were beautiful! It was well worth the money to have all flight and hotel accommodations and routes pre-arranged by VBT. All the transportation from moving our luggage, shuttles to start of rides, to train and bus connections worked perfectly and completely as described. Very helpful having recommendations for restaurants and sights to see along the way and in overnight towns. Thoroughly enjoyed this tour!
