Detailed Itinerary
Arrival
We’ll greet you at your accommodation and offer assistance with
getting settled into the place. We’ll also make sure you have
everything you need to get prepared for your days of riding
ahead.
Acclimatisation Ride (optional longer variant
available)
A shorter ride that can be extended into a long valley tour. You’ll
head up into the heart of Val San Nicoló on easy going trails
offering the chance to make sure all is ok with the bikes and you
are ready for the longer tours through the week.
Bike Park Day
We’ll help you choose the bike park that is right for your group
or you can have a half day at each one. Bike Park Buffaure has
natural lines and is a blast on a long travel trail bike. Bike Park
Belvedere has two sections: the upper trails are built and offer
very flowing lines and jumps, the lower ones are more natural
and a more serious challenge.
SellaRonda Tour - 65km gaining 550m and
descending 3980m
A fully guided all day tour including lifts following the route of the
famous SellaRonda Hero mountain bike marathon race. With the
aid of the lift system you do a circular tour of the Sella Massif over
the 4 passes of Passo Sella, Passo Gardena, Passo Campolongo
and Passo Pordoi. Enjoy the ride along the ridge at Pralongia,
riding through Cittá die Sassi (city of rocks) as well as the stunning
descent from Passo Pordoi and Passo Gardena.
Two Day Tour Part 1
Ride along the Avisio river up to Campitello where you’ll take
the cable car high up to Col Rodella where you start an anticlockwise tour of the Sasso Lungo and Sasso Piatto mountain
range riding some fun single trail and some challenging climbs
before reaching your overnight destination at Rifugio Zallinger.
Two Day Tour Part 2 (shorter more technical ride
option available)
Start off descending from Rifugio Zallinger as you start an anticlockwise tour this time of Alpi Suisi. A less technical tour but very
scenic as you ride around the highest pasture lands in Europe.
Finish off the ride climbing up to Passo Duron where you’ll
descend Val Duron on technical and challenging singletrack.
Two Day Tour Part 2 - Option 2
Heading up from Rifugio Zallinger towards Rifugio Sasso Piatto
from where you’ll ride the stunning ridge line along to Passo
Duron. From Passo Duron you stay high and cross over to the
top of Val di Dona where you may have to push the bike a short
way to finish the ascent. From the top of the valley you descend
Val di Dona on a very technical and loose trail before joining the
forestry road which leads down. Keeping your eye out for the
forestry signs, there’s a path to the left a way down where you
enter into the forest on singletrack. Traverse back across to Val
Duron with some stunning downhills, then there’s then a real
treat through the woods once you reach Val Duron.
Skill, Fitness and Bike Choice
Getting Here
Skill and trail conditions
Self drive (From the UK)
Trails are on natural paths and include rocky and rooty sections as well
as off camber lines. Previous riding experience on natural trails and
confidence in riding red graded trail center trails are recommended.
Fitness
Routes of up to 65km with up to 1000m of climbing mean a good level
of fitness is essential to enjoy the tours to the fullest. Some pre-training
may help to compensate for the effect of being at high altitude, which
may leave you feeling more fatigued on the first few days. You may have
to be prepared to carry/push the bike for short sections too.
Bike and equipment
A medium to long travel 140-160mm trail/enduro bike are best suited
to the steep and rocky terrain, hydration pack and trail side repair kit
are essential for longer days in the saddle and we highly recommend
keeping the granny ring or a super wide ratio cassette.
*Full face helmet and pads are required for bike park access.

Often a more cost effective way for a group to travel is to hire a minibus
and make the trip by road. We can give full route details and suggest
places to take a break or stop over on route. The drive from Calais is
around 12 hours (not including stops).
Flying
Flying into Venice or Treviso, we can arrange transfers including bikes
however this often requires a stay over in Venice on your first night as
coaches leave very early.
*First time flying with a bike ask us for advice in packing your bike safely.
Accommodation
6 nights stay in a self catering apartment and 1 night stay in a mountain
hut with evening meal and breakfast.
Upgrade - Hotel or B&B accommodation available on request.
