Dolomites Sellaronda MTB Tour

To secure your place on the trip, a 30% per person, booking deposit is required. Deposits are non-refundable, and the full balance is due 8 weeks before your arrival. Please take out adequate holiday insurance once you have paid your deposit for the full holiday amount. We recommend Yellow Jersey - We have a 15% discount code that will be sent out in your booking confirmation.

We insure the full amount of your holiday's value once we receive your deposit, which is a legal requirement under the Package Travel Requirements 2018. So, in the case we ever went into liquidation, you would receive a full refund. 

Day 1 — Saturday: Arrival & Warm-Up

Fly into Venice and wind your way north through the foothills and into Canazei, your base for the week beneath the Sella and Marmolada groups. Once bikes are built and dialled, there's time for a short local spin to shake off the travel and get your bearings before the week ahead really begins.

Day 2 — Sunday: Val di Fassa Enduro
20-25 km ridden · ~2,000-2,500 m downhill (lift-assisted) · multiple lifts

Straight into it. Lifts do the hard work, you do the fun part, lapping flowing bike park runs and natural enduro trails through the forests above Canazei. It's the ideal first proper day, technical enough to sharpen you up, forgiving enough to build confidence for what's coming.

Day 3 — Monday: Marmolada Panorama Tour
35 km · ~1,000 m uphill (mostly lift-assisted) · ~1,800-2,000 m downhill · 2 lifts

The Porta Vescovo cable car lifts you almost 900 metres in one go onto the Padon ridge, and suddenly the whole Marmolada glacier is laid out in front of you across Lake Fedaia. This is the Dolomites at their most cinematic, high alpine singletrack with views that stop conversation, before a long, gravity-fed descent back down to the valley.

Day 4 — Tuesday: Sellaronda Clockwise
58 km · 450 m uphill · 3,800 m downhill · 7 lifts

The big one. A full loop of the Sella massif using seven lifts to link four mountain passes and four valleys, riding through the famous Citta dei Sassi beneath Sassolungo, past Corvara and Arabba, with the Marmolada glacier watching over the whole route. Six hours, one bike, one of the most complete mountain days in the Alps.

Day 5 — Wednesday: Rest & Recovery / Easy Alpine Ride

Legs get a say in this one. Take the spa, go for a hike, or if you can't quite sit still, join an optional relaxed e-MTB spin around Sassolungo and Val Duron. Either way, tonight's dinner tastes better for it.

Day 6 — Thursday: Val di Fassa Enduro Finale
20-25 km ridden · ~2,000-2,500 m downhill (lift-assisted) · multiple lifts

Your guide has spent the week reading the group, and this is where that pays off, a hand-picked run of the best trails and descents ridden so far, plus a few that have been kept in reserve. Consider it the week's highlight reel, stitched into one final enduro day.

Day 7 — Friday: Sassolungo & Val Duron Alpine Explorer
36 km · 800 m uphill · 1,300 m downhill · 1-2 lifts

A proper send-off. Lifts to Col Rodella and a pass by Rifugio Comici set up a sweeping traverse beneath the Sassolungo massif, through Monte Pana and Zallinger, before the long, beautiful descent through Val Duron back to Campitello. Big scenery, smart use of lifts, legs saved for the flight home.

Day 8 — Saturday: Departure

Breakfast, goodbyes, and the transfer back to Venice Airport, already planning the next trip.

The riding standard and fitness level required for this tour is confident intermediate. This is not only for your enjoyment and personal safety, but it is also for the group as a whole. The riding covers natural alpine singletrack and well maintained trail networks, with some technical sections, roots, rocks and exposed high-altitude terrain, all made easier by extensive use of lifts.

The Sellaronda day is the longest and most demanding on the trip, covering 58km and using seven lifts across a full mountain day, with some technical descents that require good bike handling.
