DOLOMITI ADVENTURE 2025

ITALY WITH EPTC

Join us this September for an incredible week of cycling and hiking through Italy's majestic Dolomiti in South Tyrol. This carefully crafted week-long expedition combines challenging rides, scenic hikes, and authentic Italian experiences in one of Europe's most stunning mountain ranges. Picture yourself conquering legendary mountain passes and toasting your achievements with local wines and cuisine!

This trip was designed to cover varying terrains and a mix of iconic landscapes.  To shake off the jet lag, our first two days will be cycling the rolling hills around northern Lake Garda.  Once acclimated and rested, we head into the Dolomites to a home-base in the village of Corvara —gateway to the epic climbs of the Dolomites.
