Following your arrival in Verona airport, you will be met by our Skedaddle guides and transferred (approx 90 mins) to Comano Terme at Ponte Arche, on the edge of the Dolomites. Here you will have time to get the bikes ready for the week, and also make use of the Spa facilities which this town is famous for. Dinner will be taken at the hotel.

• Meals: Breakfast, lunch

Today sees a great, but gentle start to your epic biking trip around the Brenta Dolomites. We leave Comano Terme climbing gently towards Poia, passing pastures and little dwellings, leading to the forest and trails above the Sarche Valley. A fun section of single track will take us to the Gorge of ‘la Forra‘.

After a short detour to gaze at the cascading Sarca river, we start our climb taking sections of old Roman roads towards Moline di Deggia. Here we keep on riding through the forest, up to Malga Bael. From there the views open up towards the Brenta Massif. A fast descent will lead us to Nembia. Our accommodation is by Nembia lake, a tranquil spot to enjoy an evening drink and admire the stunning Dolomites.

• Meals: Breakfast, lunch, dinner

After a full Italian breakfast (including some home baked cake), we set off following a forest trail leading us to picturesque Molveno lake. A trail will follow the lake side, then head into town where a gradual climb will take us into the forest area above. From here we have the option to take a short cable car or ride to the view point at Malga Trove – just below the imposing Brenta peaks, an ideal stop for a coffee break in one of the chalets. A Dowhill forest track will lead us to Andalo. A great descent is ahead of us, on forest roads down to the cultivated Val di Non. Some cheeky climbs await us as well as some great sections of single track.

We finish off the day by riding through an aqueduct tunnel converted into a cycle path, linking Val di Non with Tovel Valley. From the exit of the tunnel, we have arranged a transfer to the top of the valley, unless you are keen to pedal it all the way up! The hotel is nestled on the shores of the lake Tovel, yet again an idyllic location. Depending on the time of arrival, there are short walks to be enjoyed.

• Meals: Breakfast, lunch, dinner

Woken by the crisp alpine air we enjoy breakfast before setting off to yet another challenging day. Although the riding is not technical, staying mostly on mountain forest roads, the climbing is steady and rewarding as we reach over 2000m.

Our destination is Rifugio Peller, below the Circo del Peller, offering great alpine hospitality. Mr Rinaldo will greet us with his smile and some well deserved beers! For those who want to make the most of their e-bike battery, a further loop from the Refuge can be added on. Dinner is genuine alpine cuisine, typical of this Tyrol region.

• Meals: Breakfast, lunch

Today we reach the heart of the Dolomites of Brenta by bike. Leaving the rifugio the landscape is true alpine pastures, with marmots and grazing cattle. We take a great singletrack to reach Passo della Forcola with great views of the mighty Brenta Dolomites, some of the best of the trip. On clear days it is possible to see as far as Pale di San Martino and Marmolada.

From here, the descent can become a bit challenging but there are various options depending on your biking ability; from single tracks through dense forest to open forest gravel roads. On reaching the bottom of the Valley the next section towards Madonna di Campiglio is a roller coaster along the fiume Noce, leading to the final climb to Madonna di Campiglio.

• Meals: Breakfast, lunch

We start today by taking the chair lift up to either Spinale or Rifugio Boch to embark on some great trails around Monte Spirale, towards Malga Fevri and up to Croce del Doss dei Fevri. A panoramic single trail followed by forest track will take us back to Palù near Madonna di Campiglio, where we carry on with our journey towards Vallesinella. From here the route gradually climbs on a dirt road leading to Valagola pristine alpine lake.

After a short section along the lake, the next challenge will be a steep section up to Bregna da L‘Ors pass. Again the reward is a fun single track descent to Malga Movlina where we then carry on descending on a mix of dirt roads and single tracks to Cerana. Once we reach the town of Ragoli the last section follows the main road back to Comano Terme, just in time to make the most of the spa!
