Dolomites Cycling Tour

AUGUST 25 - SEPTEMBER 1, 2025

Join RaceQuest for a grand cycling tour of one of the most beautiful and inspiring places on the planet, the Italian Dolomites.

Kicking off on Monday, August 25, our team will greet you at the Venice International Airport (VCE) and treat you to an all-inclusive tour that encompasses fine accommodations, delicious Italian cuisine, tour leadership from experienced guides, a Pro cyclist, bike mechanic, yoga, spa, and all transportation throughout your 8-day, 7-night stay. We top it off with optional road bike rentals from Italian handmade brand Basso, and an optional 2-day pre-tour stay at one of our favorite hotels in the world, Venice’s Villa Barbarich, to leave your jetlag behind and feeling ready to tackle the Stelvio pass!

A Grand Cycling Tour

Our friend, Italian cyclist and adventurer Cristiano Corrazzini, has crafted a grand cycling tour itinerary in the Dolomites with carefully developed cycling routes with two options for each day of riding. Classify them as “hard or easy,” or perhaps “challenging or moderate,” but know that as a small group tour we have the flexibility and team members to support your ride all throughout the routes with SAG and vans so you can get in the mileage and difficulty level you want each day. Cristiano’s hand-picked hotels, favorite coffee stops, exceptional dining experiences, and the sights and hospitality of Italy await you!

What’s Included

TOUR TRANSPORTATION upon arrival into Venice Marco Polo International airport (VCE) to all tour cycling venues, hotels and dining, with return transportation to the airport for your flight home.

ALL MEALS including daily breakfast at our hotels, lunches on the go, and unforgettable, authentic Italian dinners. Since we are cycling in the region of Prosecco, we’ll toast with 3-4 Prosecco drinks throughout the tour.

PREMIUM ACCOMMODATIONS for seven nights throughout the tour, with the option to add two additional nights pre-tour in Venice. Our 4-star hotels for the tour include a stay on nights one and seven in Bassano del Grappa, one night in Riva del Garda, one night in Selva di Gardena, two nights in San Vigilio and one night in a castle-hotel in Bormio. We’ve selected the best hotels in these stunning locations with luxurious, cyclist-friendly amenities. In Bormio, for example, we have two days of access to the thermal spas (Roman and Medieval) for the ultimate recovery.

PRO CYCLIST & BIKE MECHANIC to ensure you have the best riding guidance and bike tech support while on tour.

EXPERIENCED TOUR LEADERS Personalized support from experienced tour leaders who care about every detail of your tour. We will have multiple vehicles to ensure safety and SAG support.

BIKE RENTALS including handmade road bikes from the Italian brand Basso, Trek Madone, Merida, Scott Foil and Cannondale are available for $495 covering your entire tour. You are also welcomed to bring your own bike. Before we begin the tour, we will ensure everyone has a secure bike setup and comfortable bike fit. To request an e-road bike, please inquire.

A SMALL GROUP, BY DESIGN We’re limiting the number of cyclists to ensure personalized attention.

A “DREAM” DOLOMITES CYCLING ITINERARY with options for moderate or challenging routes, and professional guides to support you along the way. Need a break or an easier day? Just hop in our support vans and ride as much or as little as you want to on any given tour day.

YOGA session from a professional instructor midway through the tour to help you recover and stretch.

TOUR “SWAG” We take our “swag” seriously, and we’ve curated a RaceQuest gift bag for every Dolomites Cycling Tour participant to help you commemorate your time in Italy.

PHOTOGRAPHY You’ll have access to our high resolution photography from the tour at no charge.

TOUR GUIDEBOOK and PRE-TRAVEL WEBINAR so you are ready to travel to Italy
