A New 2026 MTB Adventure in the Dolomites
We’re excited to introduce our Trans-Dolomites Mountain Bike Tour 2026 — a brand-new multi-day MTB and E-MTB adventure across the Italian Dolomites. This guided traverse links Selva di Val Gardena with Cortina d’Ampezzo, following the most scenic and authentic trails of this UNESCO World Heritage region.
Designed for riders who want to experience the Dolomites beyond the crowds, this trip blends flowy descents, high mountain passes, and lift-assisted climbs. Expect five unforgettable days of mountain biking through alpine meadows, forest singletracks, and panoramic ridgelines—all supported by expert local guides and full luggage transfers.
What Makes the Trans-Dolomites Tour Special
This isn’t just a point-to-point ride. It’s a complete mountain biking journey combining:
Five days of guided riding across Val Gardena, Canazei, the Marmolada, Alleghe, and Cortina.
Carefully chosen routes that mix lift access and rewarding pedaling.
A balance of comfort and authenticity, with nights in boutique hotels and alpine huts.
True Italian experiences: great food, local wine, and the warm culture of the mountain valleys.
Full support, including luggage transfers and mechanical assistance.
You’ll ride through some of the Dolomites’ most iconic landmarks — the Sella massif, the Marmolada glacier, Civetta, and the Tre Cime di Lavaredo — while exploring quiet corners that few visitors reach.
The Route: From Val Gardena to Cortina
Day 1: Selva di Val Gardena – Arrival and warm-up ride surrounded by the Sella towers.
Day 2: Selva to Canazei – Traverse the Sella massif and descend into the Fassa Valley.

Day 4: Marmolada to Alleghe – Forest trails and lakeside views below the Civetta.
Day 5: Alleghe to Cortina – Ride toward the legendary Tre Cime di Lavaredo and finish in style.
