  This luxury bike tour in the Dolomites is an experience for up to 8 riders, with 2 amazing guides—allowing the group to split each day based on ability and preference.

  • • One group is suited to intermediate and advanced riders, focusing on singletrack, flow, and enduro-style trails
    • The second group enjoys a more relaxed pace on scenic doubletracks and blue or green trails, with the option of a rest-day hike.

  Regardless of the tour you’re joining, a good level of fitness is required, with 3–5 hours of riding per day. As this is an e-MTB experience, electric assistance helps smooth out the climbs. The Dolomites deliver wonderfully varied terrain, combining alpine singletracks, flowing trails, and scenic forest paths. Expect 20-45 km (12.5-33.5 mi) of riding per day, with 300-600 m (985-1,970 ft) of elevation gains and 2,500-3,500 m (8,200-11,500 ft) of elevation loss.

  If you’d like to turn this into a fully private trip for your group, just get in touch. Your professional guides will tailor the experience to your preferences, skill level, and goals.
