Every Backroads trip is designed to appeal to a wide variety of interests and fitness levels. Several routes and a range of levels are offered each day so you can choose how much or how little activity you want to do. Learn more about how we determine activity levels.
Route notes
The terrain on this trip varies from rolling to hilly with a few steep ascents and descents. Our hiking trails are often on uneven terrain and occasionally have steep, narrow or exposed sections. For the best riding in the Dolomites, we've chosen a combination of small quiet roads and some unpaved bike paths with stretches of limited van support. Keep in mind that the altitude and rugged terrain can make the routes feel more challenging than the mileage may suggest.

Straight talk
We want to make sure you're on the right trip and that you have the best experience possible. Every Backroads trip is unique and this one is no exception.
Air-Conditioning
The accommodations on this trip are Premiere Hotels. While they offer outstanding service and amenities, please note that they are not equipped with air-conditioning. Despite the region's generally temperate climate and cool nights, guestrooms can occasionally become warm during peak temperatures.
Terrain
Our bike routes on this trip are a bit different than those found on a typical Backroads trip. Rather than paved roads, our cycling routes consist of mixed terrain including unpaved roads and gravel bike paths. Additionally, due to the terrain in the Dolomites region, the rides on this trip contain numerous short and steep ascents and descents, which can make the routes feel more challenging than the mileage suggests. To accommodate riding on this terrain, we use a different fleet of bikes created specifically for cycling on variable surfaces.
