Road bike and e-bike rentals are included in the price, along with a helmet. If you prefer to ride your own bike, you are welcome to bring it.

GPS devices, cycling shoes, water bottles, and cycling gloves are not included and should be brought or sourced locally.

Each day has a standard route and a longer, more demanding extended option. The extended route adds extra kilometres and elevation and is designed for stronger riders who want more time in the saddle.

On Day 2, for example, the extended route adds the climb to Passo Carezza; on Day 5, extended riders detour through Ortisei and up to the Resciesa refuge by train. Both options arrive at the same overnight destination each day.

Here’s a list of the equipment you need to bring:

• • A small daypack for rides
  • Cycling kit or comfortable clothing suitable for cycling
  • Cycling shoes (mandatory for road bike riders; recommended for e-bike riders)
  • Eye protection (sunglasses or riding goggles)
  • Water bottle or hydration bladder (2L capacity)
  • Light jacket for riding
  • Insulation layers for cooler conditions (long-sleeve base layers, light puffy jacket)
  • Personal toiletries
  • Sunscreen
  • Camera — optional (but recommended)

Dress comfortably and for the weather in clothes you can move in. We suggest bringing clothing appropriate for the season. Layers are best and don’t wear jeans.
