2025 Tour of the Dolomites with Sportive Breaks
A week riding through the heart of the Dolomites taking in Italy’s greatest climbs!
Starting in La Villa, this small group tour takes in the Passo Giau, Campolongo, Sella Ronda, Stelvio and Gavia in 6 epic rides. With expert guides leading the rides, a pro level mechanic in the support van, regular feed stops and social post ride evenings, this is one of the best weeks possible on a bike.
Over the Tour of the Dolomites week we spend the first 3 nights in La Villa, a night in Merano and finish with two nights in Bormio. All our hotels are 3*or 4* family run, traditional hotels of the region. We choose these hotels for their hospitality, cycling facilities and great local food.
