The Dolomites:an
unmissable destination for cyclists from all over the world
Shared by three Italian regions, choose South Tyrol if you are looking for 5 stars gravel cycling. Head to Veneto if you want to test yourself with spicy stuff, ride through Friuli Venezia-Giulia if you love the wind in your hair and the sound of silence
The Dolomites are among the most beautiful mountains in the world.
These mountains with fantastic rocky shapes rise as isolated massifs, separated from each other by saddles, ridges and deep valleys. High-altitude grasslands, larch and fir forests, valleys furrowed by rushing streams, mountain huts and villages connected by an unparalleled path network welcome you.
The Dolomites are shared by three Italian regions and occupy the north-eastern portion of the Alps. These unique mountains in the world characterize the territory of Trentino Alto-Adige/South Tyrol (Western and North-Western Dolomites), Veneto (North-Eastern, Central and Southern Dolomites) and Friuli Venezia Giulia (Eastern Dolomites). The more you move east, the more the natural component and the sense of loneliness become predominant. Whichever gravel tour you'll pike up among the Dolomiti Gravel offer you will be guaranteed to enjoy only the best gravel bike itineraries.
Trentino Alto-Adige/South Tyrol offer the sweetest gravel cycling experience thanks to its harmonious, postcard landscape made of the greenest meadows you have ever seen and towering limestone peaks. The century old touristic tradition shapened partly the phisiognomy of the valleys and the inhabitants' character: from farmers to welcoming hosts. Mountain huts, gourmet stops, pastry shops, gelato and cappuccino, high-standard hotels and mountain refugios are sprawld everywhere making gravel cycling easier for the tons of opportunities to find supplies and water (= leave your bars and gels at home!). A second to no one lifts network make mountains accessible and for many, a car ride through the passes of the Dolomites is a must. Easy to understand why this is the most touristic corner of the Dolomites! Thanks to our gravel bike tours you can enjoy the Dolomites even on the peak Summer season staying away from the crowds.
Veneto region is where the Dolomites become huge and the valleys deeper. Gravel cycling here become a serious thing, climbs are the steepest and longer, descents are thrilling technical: you definetely have to be in a good shape! Less supply points, old-style trattoria, ancient houses made of stone and wood, narrow cobbled alleys zigzaging at the feet of Venetian style buildings, abandoned huts overgrown by the forest, a "nonna" (Grandma) saying hallo to you with her hands from the doorstep. This is the place - of heartbreaking beauty - from where we come from. Gravel riding here means to be rewarded by the sight of some of the most unbeliveble mountains you have ever seen.
Friuli-Venezia Giulia region is one of our much loved destination among the whole Alpine arch. This is where the Dolomites goes wild and hardly accessible, a land of shepherds with their floks, airy ridges, beautiful mountain villages and home of one of the greatest gift today: silence.
We are a bit reluctant to promote this amazing North-Eastern Italian territory stretched in between Austria and Slovenia: it is still intact and we want it to be preserved. We also believe in cycling and hiking as powerful tools for the economical sustainability of this rural area made of authentic people. If you like the idea to put together an adventure by bike with the meeting of its inhabitants, listen to their everyday stories, learn from them how to prepare the traditional Sunday' dish, well, this land will welcome you and will warmly gift itself.

About us
Alberto started mountain biking in the early 90s and immediately chosed the bicycle as the way to live his adventures. From the first experiences in the Alps to long solo bicycle trips to explore our planet in search of its wildest places, where to live in connection with nature and different cultures. The passion become a job, being a professional scout to design hiking and cycling holidays for outdoor tour operators, working in the bike industry and leading cycling tours around the world. He spent his last 35 years living the outdoor, most of the time in a tent, getting in love with the coldest days, harsh weather conditions and dramatic lights that only the mountains can give. 5 years ago he launched its own project called Dolomiti Gravel, a gravel cycling tours focused company based on the Italian Dolomites, where he live. 2 years ago he travelled back in his mum homeland and founded Slovenia Gravel.
Franziska is our alpinist, unstoppable hiker, a passionate backcountry explorer, gym and Pilates teacher, strong gravel cyclists and... food lover! She is in charge of the accomodation booking but most of her time is spent trying new restaurants and delicious dishes for you. If her phone is off she will be for sure in a pastry shop or in an gelato shop!
Alberto&Franziska lives out there can't be without dogs. Trustful companions for an infinite number of adventures, they are part of the team and their help on the search of the most beautiful trails is priceless. Timo is now enjoying the heavenly paths and has passed the baton to Mapu the dog. Mapu grow up among bikes and bikepacking gear (sometime tasting it with his teeth). The sound of a cassette body is enough for him to get immediately ready to leave. He has quickly become an expert, leading the scout and all the wild gravel adventures in our beloved mountains.
