A brief introduction to your bike tour<\/h2>\n
When you bike in the Dolomites, you become part of a unique and spectacular
\nlandscape, a dramatic harmony of 3,000-meter peaks, deep winding valleys, and
\nrocky cliffs rising from dense forests like sharp fangs, glowing pink at sunrise and
\nsunset.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s hard to believe that 250 million years ago this landscape was once an underwater
\ncoral reef. Today, it\u2019s a perfect ecosystem, almost as if it were designed specifically
\nfor cyclists and lovers of long climbs.
\nYou\u2019ll find yourself pedaling in near silence along these ascents, surrounded by
\nbreathtaking scenery.
\nYou\u2019ll ride – and suffer – on some of the most iconic climbs and beautiful cycling
\nroutes in the world.
\nThe combination with the Alps, and the Stelvio Pass, makes this an epic journey
\nyou\u2019ll be proud to share this with your friends.
\nAfter the Congress of Vienna in 1815, the Lombard-Venetian Kingdom was
\nestablished as part of the Austrian Empire. It became necessary to build a road
\nconnecting Milan and Vienna without crossing Switzerland. From 1820 to 1825,
\nEngineer Carlo Donegani, working from an earlier Napoleonic-era plan, designed and
\nbuilt what would become. We like to believe that anyone who pushes the bicycle along the climbs of the myth
\nbecomes part of the mountains and their nature.<\/p>\n

TOUR ITINERARY<\/h3>\nDAY BY DAY<\/h1>\nDay 1Welcome to the Dolomites<\/h3>\n
Day 1Welcome to the Dolomites<\/h3>\n
Arrival at Venice airport and group transfer to a comfortable accommodation in Corvara, your base for the first three nights of your Dolomites and Alps bike trip.<\/p>\n
Nestled in the Alta Badia valley at 1568 m, Corvara is one of the most iconic mountain villages in the Dolomites, elegant yet authentic, surrounded by some of the world\u2019s most spectacular alpine scenery. It sits right at the foot of the Sella massif, making it the perfect base for cyclists tackling legendary climbs like Passo Gardena, Passo Campolongo, and Passo Pordoi, the famous Sella Ronda loop.<\/p>\n
Beyond the rides, Corvara offers a warm Ladin hospitality, excellent cuisine blending Italian and Alpine traditions, and cozy hotels with wellness areas perfect for recovery after a long day on the bike.
\nIn summer, its lively yet peaceful atmosphere makes it a place where nature, sport, and
\nrelaxation meet in perfect balance.<\/p>\n
In the afternoon, we\u2019ll set up the bikes and, depending on the timing, go for a short warm-up ride. Before dinner, we\u2019ll also have a group meeting to introduce the trip.<\/p>\n
Dinner: Group dinner is included this night. DISTANCE: 49,80 miles (83 km) DISTANCE: 40,20 miles (67 km) DISTANCE: 72 miles (120 km) DISTANCE: 33 miles (55 km) DISTANCE: 31 miles (52 km) DISTANCE: 19,80miles (33 km)
\nAccommodation: Sporthotel Panorama Corvara<\/a><\/p>\nDay 2Giau Pass<\/h3>\n
\nELEVATION GAIN: 8180 ft (2494 m)
\nThe Giro d\u2019Italia included the ascent to the Passo Giau for the first time in 1973, when much of the route was still unpaved gravel. Since then, it has become one of the race\u2019s most iconic climbs a symbol of both beauty and difficulty in the Dolomites.
\nThe road rises steadily through alpine pastures and dense forests before opening onto breathtaking views of the Sella Group and the majestic Marmolada. Each turn brings a new perspective on the Dolomitic landscape, reminding you why this climb is considered one of the most beautiful in the world.
\nDinner: Breakfast and dinner are included
\nAccommodation: Sporthotel Panorama Corvara<\/a><\/p>\nDay 3Loop ride around Sella Group<\/h3>\n
\nELEVATION GAIN: 6356 ft (1938 m)
\nToday is the Sella group loop ride, a beautiful loop that allows you to ride the Gardena, Sella, Pordoi, and Campolongo pass. Four steps, four peaks. We will leave directly from the hotel and go around counter-clockwise. Which coffee bars at the four peaks have the best coffee?
\nDinner: Breakfast and dinner are included
\nAccommodation: Sporthotel Panorama Corvara<\/a><\/p>\nDay 4Merano<\/h3>\n
\nELEVATION GAIN: 2558 ft (780 m)
\nThis is a transition ride, taking us from the heart of the Dolomites in Corvara to the elegant alpine town of Merano. The only real climb of the day is Passo Gardena \u2014 a spectacular ascent surrounded by dramatic Dolomitic peaks and lush alpine meadows. After the summit, the landscape opens up as we leave the Dolomites behind and begin a long, exhilarating descent through Val Gardena and Val d\u2019Isarco, riding along gentle valley roads toward Merano.
\nThe rest of the route is mostly flat or downhill, allowing you to enjoy the changing scenery – from rugged mountains to vineyards and orchards – before reaching Merano, known for its Mediterranean flair, palm trees, and thermal spas.
\nDinner: Breakfast is included
\nAccommodation: Flora Hotel Merano<\/a><\/p>\nDay 5Stelvio Pass<\/h3>\n
\nELEVATION GAIN: 6193 ft (1888 m)
\nWhat a ride!
\nThis morning you\u2019ll ride one of the most iconic ride in the world and probably one of the most aspected highlights of this tour. Forty-two switchbacks, 21 kilometers of solid climb, 1500 mt elevation gain, 7% gradient average: this is the Stelvio, the highest paved mountain pass in the Eastern Alps. Enjoy it!
\nA group transfer will take the group to Glorenza from where we\u2019ll start our ride to the Stelvio.
\nDinner: Breakfast is included
\nAccommodation: Miramonti Park Hotel<\/a><\/p>\nDay 6Gavia Pass<\/h3>\n
\nELEVATION GAIN: 5743 ft (1568 m)
\nOptional ride for today is the climb at one of the most famous and spectacular Passes: Gavia! This is a “must” for each cyclist climb’s lover. We may define it as challenging, stunning, tranquil, and rewarding at the same time. You get the immense scenery and grandeur of the Stelvio but less traffic. At 2,621m. it’s not quite as high as the Stelvio, but it’s still the tenth highest paved mountain pass in Europe, and with testing 8% average gradients, the Gavia Pass profile is undoubtedly
\nchallenging.
\nWe’ll start with a private shuttle to approach the climb from the South.
\nDinner: Breakfast and farewell dinner are included
\nAccommodation: Miramonti Park Hotel<\/a><\/p>\nDay 6Cancano Lakes<\/h3>\n
\nELEVATION GAIN: 3411 ft (1040 m)
\nThe secon optional ride for today is about Cancano Lake; the 2020 Giro d’Italia included this climb. The climb starts just a few kilometers north of Bormio and has a relatively accessible 7% average gradient, climbing just under 700m over 9km. The road takes us up a spectacular ladder of switchbacks guarded by the imposing Fraele towers. Beyond is the Cancano plateau and the Lago di Cancano and Lago di San Giacomo, two artificial lakes separated by a dam you can ride over.
\nDinner: Breakfast and farewell dinner are included
\nAccommodation: Miramonti Park Hotel<\/a><\/p>\nDay 7Departure<\/h3>\n

My cycling adventure with \u201cRide Your Life\u201d was nothing short of amazing. Beyond the picturesque routes and comfortable hotels, the support during the ride was outstanding.

I have done several bike tours throughout Europe. In the fall of 2023, I had my first tour with Ride Your Life. It changed MY life. Our tour was a three-week tour of the Dolomites. Every single moment of every day was filled with incredible experiences. It exceeded every expectation, plus more.
