What equipment do I need to bring?

The basics include sturdy hiking boots, a comfortable backpack, weather-appropriate clothing, and a water bottle. For some tours, you might also need specialized equipment like hiking poles, which you can find recommended in the What To Bring section on each of our tours.

How do I get to the starting point of the tour?

Most of our tours begin in locations that are easily accessible via public transportation. Whether in Europe, the Americas, or other regions, the starting points are typically near major airports, train stations, or bus stops. We will provide you with detailed instructions on how to reach the start of your tour using public transport options. If you prefer more convenience, we can arrange private transfers directly from the airport or train station to your starting location for an additional charge.

Is accommodation included in the tours?

Yes, accommodation is included in all of our tours. We carefully select hotels, guesthouses, and mountain huts that offer comfort and a welcoming atmosphere after a day of hiking.

What is the accommodation like on a walking tour?

Typically, you'll stay in comfortable 3-star hotels, guesthouses, or mountain huts in more remote areas. Please note that in the mountain huts, accommodations are often shared, with dormitory-style rooms, though some huts offer private rooms if booked well in advance.

Can I upgrade the accommodations?

Yes, accommodation upgrades are generally possible for most hotels or B&Bs. In the case of mountain huts, there are usually no other options nearby. However, you can book a private room instead of a dormitory if you are early enough.Please note that upgrading accommodations will affect the final tour price.

What is the tourist tax?

Tourist tax is a small fee charged by some destinations, ranging from €0.50 to €2.50 per night. It is commonly included in your final accommodation bill. However, in some cases, it may need to be paid in cash on-site.

What is luggage transfer?

Luggage transfer means your baggage is transported from one accommodation to another throughout the tour. It comes convenient on most of our tours except the location-based ones, as it lessens the burden on your back during the hike and allows you to bring additional luggage.Please note that luggage transfer is not possible on all treks.

Will my luggage be transported?

Luggage transfer is not possible in every location, especially on high-altitude treks. Therefore, we don't include it by default. However, you can optionally add it to your booking on the tours where it's doable.Please note that adding the luggage transfer affects the final price of the hiking tour.

What is the luggage allowance?

Each transfer allows only one bag per person, which must be soft. The maximum weight permitted is 15 kg. Additionally, bags must not contain food, beverages, medicines, valuables, money, or official documents.

What does a typical day look like on a walking tour?

Every day on a hiking tour begins in the same way: with breakfast. Then, it differs between the tour types. On hut-to-hut or inn-to-inn hikes, you must leave the accommodation early enough to reach your next lodging within the check-in window. On center-based hikes, you can leave and return anytime (barring any additional instructions from the accommodation). You can even opt out of hiking and stay in. On travel & hike tours , you might initially have to drive or take public transportation to the hike's starting point before moving on to your next accommodation. After hiking, you can spend the rest of the day as you please.

What if the weather changes unexpectedly during my hike?

Weather can be unpredictable, especially in mountainous areas. We closely monitor conditions and will inform you if changes are necessary. As long as you dress accordingly, you can do most of our hikes in light rain. In case of severe weather and storms, we’ll advise you on alternative routes, suggest less strenuous hikes, or offer public transport options.

What happens if I need help on the trail?

Our support is available to solve minor issues. Additionally, your digital guidebook will include a contact for the local emergency services in the case of a severe crisis.

Can you accommodate my food restrictions?

Buffet breakfasts in hotels or guesthouses offer enough variety to accommodate vegetarians and vegans. Mountain hut meals are more limited but usually include at least one vegan option. For strict dietary restrictions, you should consider bringing your own food.If you have particular dietary expectations, you must inform us in advance.

Can I extend my trip?

Absolutely! You can extend your holiday by adding extra lodgings to your booking before, during, or after the tour. We will book the additional nights of accommodation and provide recommendations to make the most of your extended stay.

Are meals included in the price?

Aside from some exceptions in remote places, your booking encompasses half-board accommodation in mountain huts and accommodation with breakfast in hotels, guesthouses, or B&Bs. We provide lunch and dinner recommendations for the latter, allowing you to experience the local cuisine according to your taste instead of eating at the hotel.

Will I have cell reception in the mountains?

It varies, but as a rule of thumb, you should expect poor mobile reception on our high-altitude hikes. Nonetheless, our travel material and GPS-navigation app can be used offline, ensuring you are fully prepared for any situation.

Of course. We even curated a selection of hiking tours most suitable for solo travelers .

Are these tours kid-friendly?

It depends on their age and experience, but we also picked several tours suitable for families with children of all ages and levels of experience.

Embracing a challenging route, our day is set amidst the dramatic landscapes of the Dolomites. Departing from Cortina, we head east, ascending the storied Passo Tre Croci. This 8.1km climb, with a 7.1% average incline, is more than just a physical challenge—it’s a journey through history, having been a part of the Giro d’Italia in 1966. According to legend, it’s named after a mother and her two children who tragically perished here.

After conquering Passo Tre Croci, we’re rewarded with a descent to the picturesque Lake Misurina, sitting at 1754m above sea level. It’s the perfect spot for a refreshing pause, surrounded by the lake’s tranquil beauty.

The day’s centrepiece is the formidable climb to the Tre Cime di Lavaredo. Spanning 7km, the last 4km of this ascent test your limits with an average incline just shy of 12%. We’ll channel the spirit of cycling legend Eddy Merckx, who triumphed here in 1968 amidst a dramatic snowstorm, capturing both the stage victory and the leader’s jersey in a single heroic effort.

With the summit conquered, a lengthy descent awaits, leading us back towards Cortina. But the challenge isn’t over yet—your final task is a 5km climb back to your hotel, a fitting end to a day filled with both arduous climbs and breathtaking scenery.

Cycling

70 km and 1900m of elevation gain

Today’s ride is a journey, that presents a double challenge with two iconic climbs: Passo Falzarego and the formidable Passo Giau. We begin with the relatively smooth ascent of Passo Falzarego, stretching 16.4km with an average incline of 5.6%. This climb serves as an ideal warm-up, preparing us for the more daunting challenge ahead.

The highlight of the day is the ascent of Passo Giau, a climb that falls into the rare category of Hors Catégorie, known for its potential to alter the course of stage races. This 10.2km climb boasts a relentless 9.1% gradient, culminating at an elevation of 2236m above sea level. For dedicated cyclists, reaching the summit of Passo Giau is more than a feat—it’s a trophy, a testament to endurance and determination.

Atop Passo Giau, we are greeted with panoramic views that stretch across the majestic peaks of Nuvolau and Averau, both towering above 2600 meters. Here, amidst the breathtaking scenery, we pause for a well-deserved cappuccino and snacks, savouring the moment in a mountain hut. This is not just any coffee break—it’s a cappuccino with a view, a moment to relish in the achievement and the stunning vistas that surround us.

With your spirits high and your bodies refreshed, you embark on the final leg of today’s journey: a thrilling 12km descent back to your hotel, where comfort and relaxation await.

Cycling

57 km and 1900 m of elevation gain

Today’s route, spanning 59 km, reacquaints us with Passo Falzarego before introducing us to the daunting Passo Fedaia. We embark on Falzarego with a newfound familiarity, its smooth and steady slopes serving as a prelude to the day’s main challenge.

The ascent of Passo Fedaia is a test of both physical and mental strength, a climb renowned in the Dolomites for its steepness and awe-inspiring landscapes. Spanning 12.8km with an average gradient of 8%, the climb is demanding, but it’s the notorious Malga Ciapela section that truly defines this ascent.

This nearly three-kilometre segment, marked by an average incline of 12% and stretches peaking at 15%, is a formidable adversary, etched in the memories of amateur cyclists and professionals alike. It was here, on these gruelling slopes, where the Australian cyclist Jay Hindley overtook Richard Carapaz during the Giro d’Italia, snatching the Maglia Rosa and etching his name into cycling history.

With our spirits lifted and energy replenished, a short descent awaits, guiding us to Canazei, our second base in the Dolomites.

Cycling

59 km and 1,700 m of elevation gain

Today’s ride is a dream come true for every cyclist – the famed Sellaronda classic loop. This journey is a masterclass in Dolomites cycling. It’s an unrelenting sequence of climbs and descents, capturing the essence of what Italian amateurs adore about cycling: relentless ascents followed by exhilarating descents with no flat stretches in sight.

Our route today encompasses four iconic Dolomite passes, each with its unique allure. We start with the Passo Pordoi, soaring to 2,239 meters above sea level, a pass intertwined with the history of the Giro d’Italia and where Fausto Coppi, the legendary Campionissimo, triumphed six times. Next, we tackle the Passo Campolongo, the shortest of the day at 4km but with an average incline of 7.4%, leading us to the breathtaking heights of Alta Badia.

The Passo Gardena, our third challenge, is a steady 9km ascent through some of the most awe-inspiring landscapes in the Alps. As we climb, we’re treated to panoramic views of majestic peaks, including the famous Sassolungo. The descent from Gardena is swift, setting us up for the final climb of the day to Passo Sella.

The last 5.4km push to the Sella Pass is a fitting finale, where we can take a moment at the summit to enjoy a well-deserved coffee, marvelling at the mountain that shares the pass’s name. This “rock castle” or “majestic island” reaching skywards provides a dramatic backdrop for our descent back to Canazei.

The beauty witnessed on today’s Sellaronda loop is unparalleled – a visual feast of mountain grandeur that will leave lasting impressions long after we cross the finish line.

Cycling

65 km and 2000 m of elevation gain

Today’s journey, a lengthy 100 km ride with nearly 2,400m elevation gain, feels like a Grand Tour stage, blending endurance with breathtaking Dolomites scenery. Our route starts with a fast descent to the historical village of Predazzo, dating back to 1035, before confronting the first major climb of the day: the formidable Passo Rolle.

The 20.5km ascent to Passo Rolle can be divided into two parts. The initial 10km stretch leads to the serene Alpine Lake of Paneveggio, where the gradient eases alongside the lake’s edge. The challenge intensifies in the second half, with a steeper climb peaking at 10%. The reward for this exertion is the spectacular view of the iconic Pale di San Martino peaks.

After a brief respite in San Martino di Castrozza, we embark on a rapid 9km descent, only to face another ascent to Passo Valles, a 6km climb at an average of 8.2%. Once again, we find ourselves over 2000 meters above sea level, surrounded by the quintessential beauty of the Dolomites.

The descent from Passo Valles is followed by the climb connecting Cencenighe to San Pellegrino. This ascent begins with a challenging 2km stretch with gradients exceeding 12%, before easing slightly to an 8% average for the remaining 4km. Atop the pass, the sight of a charming church signals the end of our climbing for the day.

What follows is a long, rewarding descent to Moena, before retracing our morning route back to Canazei. As we conclude this ‘queen stage’ of our journey, relaxation and reflection await in the comfort of your hotel’s wellness area. Today’s achievements – three mountain peaks and nearly 2400 meters of climbing – rival the challenges of the Giro d’Italia, marking an extraordinary day in the saddle.

100 km and 2400 m of elevation gain

As we embark on our final ride with a substantial elevation gain, we’re reminded that our cycling adventure is far from over. Today’s route is a fitting grand finale, mirroring the intensity of the Giro d’Italia’s last stages, as we tackle three challenging passes with the most significant elevation gain of the tour.

Leaving the hotel, we immediately face the 11.7km climb to Passo Sella, ascending from the south road. Reaching the summit, we’re rewarded with a stunning panorama before descending and ascending again to Passo Gardena. Our journey then takes us on a delightful 26km downhill ride through the scenic Alta Badia valley, leading us to the beautiful and often overlooked Passo delle Erbe.

Passo delle Erbe, a climb known to connoisseurs, has only featured thrice in the Giro d’Italia, with American cyclist Andrew Hampsten claiming the first King of the Mountain title here in 1993. This part of the Dolomites presents a contrast to the rocky landscapes we’ve encountered earlier, offering lush greenery and an abundance of flowers. The pass, nestled between the grassy slopes of Luson and the meadows of Pütia, provides an idyllic setting for our final cappuccino stop, surrounded by the imposing mountain walls to the south.

The descent from Passo delle Erbe is a 26km journey of discovery, twisting and turning down a narrow road that traces the canyon carved by the Isarco River. This hidden gem, unknown to many, leads us to our final destination in the charming town of Bressanone, marking the end of an unforgettable tour through the Dolomites.

Top Places You’ll See

From natural wonders to authentic local culture, the route is packed with memorable sights—these are our absolute favorites.

Passo Tre Croci

Connecting Cortina d’Ampezzo with Auronzo di Cadore, the Passo Tre Croci (1,809 m) takes its name from three crosses commemorating a tragic 18th-century story. The pass offers one of the Dolomites’ most breathtaking routes, framed by dense pine forests and vertical limestone cliffs.

Dolomites

Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2009, the Dolomites are among the most extraordinary mountain landscapes on Earth. Their jagged limestone peaks glow pink and orange at dawn and dusk — a natural phenomenon known as enrosadira. The range’s unique geology, formed from ancient coral reefs, creates surreal rock towers and plateaus rising above lush valleys.

Lake Misurina

Set at 1,754 meters and encircled by majestic peaks, Lake Misurina is often called the “Pearl of the Dolomites.” Its calm, mirror-like waters reflect the Sorapis and Tre Cime di Lavaredo, creating one of Italy’s most photographed alpine scenes. Local legend tells of a spoiled princess turned into the lake itself — her tears forming its depths.

Passo Giau

Passo Giau is one of the most scenic high mountain passes in the Dolomites, standing at 2,236 meters. The road climbs with 29 hairpin bends and has often featured in the Giro d’Italia, making it a legendary route for cyclists. From the top, the views stretch to peaks like Tofane and Marmolada, making it a favorite stop for photographers and riders alike.

Sella Ronda

The Sella Ronda is a 40-kilometer circular route around the Sella massif in the Dolomites, linking four passes: Sella, Gardena, Pordoi, and Campolongo. In summer, it is a famous cycling loop; in winter, it becomes one of the world’s most popular ski circuits. The ride offers constant views of the Dolomite peaks, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

We loved our cycling trip! Cycling Holland were very helpful and responsive. We chose regular bikes and cycled over 5 days from Amsterdam to Bruges. The bikes were excellent - good quality and no issues at all. Our luggage arrived before us each day. The bike paths in The Netherlands are exceptional, we felt safe at all times, even when cycling in/out of big cities. If deciding between regular bikes or e-bikes, consider the wind in The Netherlands. We were on regular bikes and on a couple of days the wind slowed our pace down to around 10km/hr. It was a super fun adventure, we’ll definitely be back for another one!

I found this place with a simple Google search, and I never could’ve expected the custom experience I received. They provided options to help my husband and I hone in on exactly what we wanted to do for our honeymoon. We had perfectly curated GPS-lead rides all across the country, they booked all of our hotels, and planned all of our transportation. Every place that we went was so beautiful. I’m so grateful that we found this company to help us plan our honeymoon, couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

I was able to tailor a bike tour itinerary along the Adriatic coast that suited our group during the shoulder season. We added individual pre and post-trip activities which went smoothly. Our trip included stops in Italy, Slovenia and Croatia. The trip planner, guide and support team were great.

I would highly recommend anyone doing this tour take the e-bike option. There were only 3 of us on our tour who completed this on regular bikes. Four others who started out on regular bikes swapped over to e-bikes after the first day. The climbs are long and steep. There is pretty much only up or down, not much flat or undulating road. It is doable, but very challenging. If you are on an e-bike then this also helps with the group staying together and no-one having to wait too long for others to catch up. The bikes were really good and had great gearing that was capable of handling the steeper climbs. When we booked we were unaware that we would be riding in a group of 20plus at all time. Thankfully our group had prior group riding experience but we did observe other large groups with less than desirable riding behaviours.Others in our group were extremely understanding and supportive. Our guide, David, was very adamant about staying safe on the road. He was flexible with the itinerary and made changes to suit the weather conditions and to ensure we got in as much riding as possible. He was vey knowledgeable about Croatian history and agriculture and taught us lots about the country he is so passionate about. Our captain, Tolma, was also amazing and along with his awesome crew, made our cruise an enjoyable experience.
