Day 2 Ride a gondola to Col Raiser, gateway to the sky-high mountain tops of the Puez Odle Nature Park, a World Heritage site | Hike through picture-perfect alpine meadows surrounded by the peaks of the Geisler range | A panoramic vista awaits from the top of Monte Pic | Linger over a cold post-hike birra at a traditional mountain hut | Dine on Michelin-starred regional cuisine.

Days 3-4 Hike manicured trails among a lunar-like landscape | Admire views of neighboring Sella and Sasso Lungo massifs from high above the Badia Valley | Bike up the San Vigilio Valley toward the Fanes mountain group, taking your wheels off-roading if you choose | Explore the charming mountain hamlet of San Vigilio di Marebbe | Test your courage while soaking up the views on a ropes course—one of Europe's largest—woven into the treetops | Relax in the pretty hamlet of Corvara.

Days 5-6 Explore an open-air World War I museum with a local guide | Traverse bucolic cirques, spotting marmots and Edelweiss | See and be seen like the Italians do on the stylish Corso Italia in the posh resort town of Cortina d'Ampezzo, nestled below the peaks | Take a final spin along the scenic Boite River.

Note: On this trip, we'll be using titanium mountain bikes that are just right for the non-technical dirt road riding as well as the paved riding. (Approximately 40% dirt and 60% paved). Our routes follow rolling to hilly terrain with a few steep ascents and descents that sometimes include hard packed gravel bike paths. Mileage is moderate to enable you to spend more time exploring on your own.

* Includes shuttle.

Why Travel with Backroads in Dolomites

A Second Van When You Need It

Backroads is the only active travel company providing two support vans in Dolomites—because we know it's essential to ensure a truly great travel experience. It doubles our ability to be there when you need us to offer hydration, lighten your load or give you a lift if it's time to take a break. Read more on why two vans make all the difference.

Only the Best Hotels

On this trip featuring Premiere Hotels, you can count on the best lodgings Dolomites has to offer. In fact, the hotels we've chosen in this region have higher retail room rates than those offered by any other active travel company—even when their trips cost more.

Our Superb Bikes Included

A great bike is obviously critical for a great multi-adventure trip; you don't want to gamble on one that's been sourced locally to trim costs. This trip features our acclaimed Backroads Custom Titanium bikes, expertly tuned and fitted, and included in your trip price. Learn why our titanium bikes are ideal for most riders.

Get the Most Out of Each Day

Coordinating multiple activities throughout a single day can be tricky, but with Backroads you'll never know it. When you explore Dolomites with us, you switch activities seamlessly without missing a beat. We invented the multi-adventure concept, and we're constantly adding new dimensions and fine-tuning the experience to make it even more enjoyable.

More Leaders to Support You

On our Dolomites trips we have an extra leader supporting you along the road and trail—for a total of three, compared to the industry standard two. So we can be in more places at once, giving personal attention to guests traveling at their own pace. Here's more on our Trip Leaders.

Everyone at Their Own Pace

We design and support our Dolomites trips to suit mixed abilities and varied interests—so you can set your own pace, then change things up as the day unfolds. And all guests are free to do the same, traveling together or apart, with no one cramping anyone else's style. Which sounds easy in theory, but it's hard to pull off. Here's more on how we do it.

We've Set the Standard

For nearly four decades we've worked to earn and maintain our right to call Backroads the world's #1 active travel company. In pursuing that vision on behalf of our guests, we believe we've set the standard for our industry—captured in the Backroads Quality Guide, which clearly sets out the benchmarks of excellence, choice and support that we live by
