Dolomites Weekenders with Sportive Breaks

Four days of classic climbs, unbelievable scenery and great food, what’s not to love? For cycling lovers our Dolomites Weekender doesn’t get much better!

Often called the best cycling route in the world, riders will have the chance to take on the Sella Ronda, a circular route over four climbs with amazing views throughout.

The true highlight of this long weekend is the scenery in all directions. On every ride we are surrounded by incredible views, clean air and life-affirming riding.

Our hotel for the weekend will be located in Badia near Corvara, one of our favourite cycling towns in the world and the home of the popular Maratona. Perfect for post-ride spas & beers on the balcony!
