Italy: Valleys of the Dolomites
A very different side of Italy is unveiled on this uniquely rewarding tour to the country’s German-flavored north. Road cycling the Dolomites was never easier, as you spin along mostly flat or downhill bike paths, breathing in fresh mountain air and marveling at spectacular vistas of mountain peaks, sparking lakes, lush forests, emerald meadows, and countryside dotted with picturesque farms and villages. Along the way, you’ll explore historic cities, meet an ancient culture found nowhere else on Earth, and enter the dual Austrian-Italian ambiance of Tyrol. You’ll also be fueled by tasty meals of local specialties and end each day in 4-star accommodations—including a chic health resort set amid pampering thermal springs. Don’t miss this chance to experience the Dolomites—VBT style!
