Prosecco Hills and Dolomites Bike Tour
Enjoy the beauty of cycling in Veneto, from vineyard-draped hills to the legendary climbs of the Dolomites. A toast to beauty at every turn.
Ride. Toast.
Smile. Repeat.
From rolling hills draped in vineyards to soaring alpine peaks, this ride is all about contrasts.
In six unforgettable days you’ll spin through the sun-drenched Prosecco Hills, climb quiet roads steeped in WWI history like Monte Grappa and San Boldo Pass, and push higher into the pristine Dolomites to tackle giants like Giau, Fedaia, and Pordoi.
The changing terrain is mirrored by changing scenery: the charming hamlets of Veneto give way to alpine villages where Ladin traditions and Austrian influences shape local life and architecture. Along the way, taste the region’s rich variety: crisp Prosecco, hearty mountain wines, and dishes that celebrate the best of northern Italy.
An unforgettable cycling adventure in Italy is just around the corner. Let’s ride!
The Sella Ronda
A SPECIAL MOMENT
Many of our guests describe the Sella Ronda as the most beautiful ride of their life and honestly, we get it.
This iconic loop around the Sella Massif connects four mountain passes: Campolongo, Pordoi, Sella and Gardena, wrapping you in nonstop panoramic beauty.
The bonus magic? We always suggest riding it at sunrise because the great rides deserve the best light, quiet roads and that first espresso stop while the mountains are still waking up.

How flexible is the itinerary on this Veneto Bike Tour?
Partially. During the first three days in the Prosecco Hills, there are plenty of route options to adjust daily distance and elevation. Once in the Dolomites, flat roads are no longer an option and climbs like Giau and Fedaia are seriously challenging.
That said, with our support on the road, you can push your limits safely, you can opt for an e-bike, or even take a day off and enjoy some relaxation or a stunning alpine hike.
Is this Veneto Bike tour suitable for a self-guided version?
Yes, with a few tweaks.
Day 4 includes a short van transfer from Valdobbiadene to Alleghe. To go self-guided, we can either provide that transfer or adapt the route to cover the distance by bike (though it involves some busy roads and at least one extra day of riding).
While riding with us brings extra value, if you opt for a self-guided version we’ll help you find the best solution.
What should I pack for this Veneto Bike Tour?
We send a detailed packing list before every tour.
In general: bring layers, light rain gear, cycling kit for all conditions, and a few comfortable outfits for dinners and cultural visits.
Can non-cyclists join this Veneto Bike Tour?
Absolutely!
Partners, friends, or family who don’t ride can enjoy daily excursions, cultural visits, great food, and moments to relax while the rest of the group is on the bike.
What happens if the weather is bad?
We control what we can, and adapt to what we can’t.
There’s always a Plan B: we might change timing, adjust the route, or swap the ride with a unique local experience.
