Dolomiti Gravel

Start your gravel cycling adventure and have the trip of a lifetime in the Dolomites


The Dolomites:an

unmissable destination for cyclists from all over the world


Shared by three Italian regions, choose  South Tyrol if you are looking for 5 stars gravel cycling. Head to  Veneto if you want to test yourself with spicy stuff, ride through  Friuli Venezia-Giulia if you love the wind in your hair and the sound of silence

The Dolomites are among the most beautiful mountains in the world.


These mountains with fantastic rocky shapes rise as isolated massifs, separated from each other by saddles, ridges and deep valleys. High-altitude grasslands, larch and fir forests, valleys furrowed by rushing streams, mountain huts and villages connected by an unparalleled path network welcome you.


The Dolomites  are shared by three Italian regions and occupy the north-eastern portion of the Alps. These unique mountains in the world characterize the territory of Trentino Alto-Adige/South Tyrol (western and north-western Dolomites), Veneto (north-eastern, central and southern Dolomites) and Friuli Venezia Giulia (eastern Dolomites). The more you move east, the more the natural component and the sense of loneliness become predominant. Whichever gravel tour you'll pike up among the Dolomiti Gravel offer you will be guaranteed to enjoy only the best gravel bike itineraries.

Trentino Alto-Adige/South Tyrol offer the sweetest gravel cycling experience thanks to its harmonious, postcard landscape made of the greenest meadows you have ever seen and towering limestone peaks. The century old touristic tradition shapened partly the phisiognomy of the valleys and the inhabitants' character: from farmers to welcoming hosts. Mountain huts, gourmet stops, pastry shops, gelato and cappuccino, high-standard hotels and mountain refugios are sprawld everywhere making gravel cycling easier for the tons of opportunities to find supplies and water (= leave your bars and gels at home!). A second to no one lifts network make mountains accessible and for many, a car ride through the passes of the Dolomites is a must.  Easy to understand why this is the most touristic corner of the Dolomites! Thanks to our gravel bike tours you can enjoy the Dolomites even on the peak Summer season staying away from the crowds.


Veneto region is where the Dolomites become huge and the valleys deeper. Gravel cycling here become a serious thing, climbs are the steepest and longer, descents are thrilling technical: you definetely have to be in a good shape! Less supply points, old-style trattoria, ancient houses made of stone and wood, narrow cobbled alleys zigzaging at the feet of Venetian style buildings, abandoned huts overgrown by the forest. This is the place - of heartbreaking beauty - from where we come from. Gravel riding here means to be rewarded by the sight of some of the most unbeliveble mountains you have ever seen.


Friuli-Venezia Giulia region is one of our much loved destination among the whole Alpine arch. This is where the Dolomites goes wild and hardly accessible, a land of shepherds with their floks, airy ridges, beautiful mountain villages and home of one of the greatest gift today: silence.

 
Declared a world heritage site by Unesco , the Dolomites are under threat from mass tourism, overexploitation and climate change. We believe that exploring the Dolomites by bicycle - as on foot - is the only way to leave as few traces as possible of our passage, living an authentic travel experience.

All the tours we offer are circular. If in line, they start and end at a train station. Forget about the car, you and your bicycle can make a difference.

About us


Alberto started mountain biking in the early 90s and immediately chose the bicycle as the way to live his adventures. From the first experiences in the Alps to long solo bicycle trips to explore our planet, in search of its wildest places, where to live in connection with nature and different cultures.

Franziska is our alpinist, gym and Pilates teacher, strong gravel cyclists and... food lover! She is in charge of the accomodation booking but most of her time is spent trying new restaurants and delicious dishes for you. If her phone is off she will be for sure in  a patisserie or in an ice-cream shop!

One lucky day Alberto meets Timo the dog, since then an unsurpassed companion during the long days of bikepacking in search of the most beautiful trails in the Dolomites. Timo is now enjoying the heavenly paths and has passed the baton to Mapu the dog.

Mapu is still young and practicing tasting all the bikepacking gear with his teeth. He will soon become an expert and will accompany us on the next wild gravel adventures in our mountains, the Dolomites.
