Trip Overview
Get ready for an incredible five-day e-bike getaway through the spectacular Dolomite Mountains. As you pedal up magnificent mountain passes with the assistance of a modern e-bike, you’ll feel the thrill of ascending rugged peaks and the rush of descending into unbelievably beautiful valleys. This itinerary combines challenging off-road trails with the deep cultural heritage of Val Badia and the sweeping landscapes of the Alpe di Siusi.
Starting in the sunny valley of Alta Badia, you’ll explore the serene Armentara Meadows, renowned for their stunning carpets of vibrant wildflowers. You’ll easily conquer remarkable mountain passes, including Passo Gardena at 2,120 meters (6,955 feet) and Passo Sella at 2,218 meters (7,275 feet), continue into the captivating Val Gardena, famous for its historic wood-carving traditions, and bike onto the Alpe di Siusi, Europe’s largest high-altitude plateau. Here, you’ll ride beneath the ancient coral reef of the Sciliar massif before descending into the picturesque Val Duron, an area celebrated for its unique volcanic rock formations. The journey finishes on the scenic Pralongià high plateau, where you can toast to and celebrate your achievements with a lovely glass of local wine while taking in the spectacular view of the towering Marmolada glacier.
Every day you’ll ride diverse trails with unbelievable scenery, pause for delicious, hearty lunches at authentic mountain huts, and experience the distinct blend of Ladin, Italian, and Austrian hospitality. Ride with us on beautiful trails and reserve your Dolomites e-bike getaway today.
You can complete all of our biking itineraries with either a mountain bike or an e-bike. The choice is yours!
Why E-Bike in the Dolomite Mountains?
Have you always wanted to mountain bike in the Dolomites but aren’t sure you’re up to the challenge? Then why not try e-biking! E-bikes – or electric bikes – look like, pedal like, and handle like regular bicycles, but they have a rechargeable electric motor to help you out. You just set your e-bike on the amount of assistance you want – from a little to a lot, pedal just like you would on a regular bike, and off you go! Imagine your uphill rides as relaxed as your downhill ones; on an e-bike, you can go further and explore more terrain than you could on your own.

Accommodation
Great hotels with Dolomite Mountains. Whether intimate lodge, family run B&B, or luxury spa resort, our hotels are unique, eminently local, and hard to leave.
Want to learn more about our Hotels and B&Bs?
The Dolomites has a multi-faceted culture and history that is reflected in each village we visit, and we make sure to provide you with the most authentic experience of the region possible through the hotels and B&Bs we offer. Hotels and chalets are available in the larger villages, while agriturismos (working farms with accommodations similar to B&Bs) are more common in rural areas. And we always make sure you have access to inspired regional cuisine and the best panoramas you can get in the Dolomites!
Prefer luxury accommodations?
You can also book a custom departure of this trip using our Luxury Hotels. For details, please contact us.
Want to learn more about our Mountain Inns & Rifugios?
Rifugios – or mountain huts in English – are the classic accommodation for hikers, climbers, mountaineers, and ski mountaineers in the Alps. Set in spectacular locations high in the Dolomites, rifugi are accessible only on foot (with a few exceptions that are reachable by car). These marvelous establishments are open primarily in the summer, with a select few in winter, and offer meals and sleeping facilities.
The Dolomite rifugios are considered the best in the Alps. While some are dormitory style with bunk beds, many meet the standard of a simple guest house with private rooms and en-suite bathrooms, and each has its own unique character and charm. Bedding and linens are provided, hot showers are available, and meals are served in common dining areas – like a small mountain inn set high in the mountains with the most incredible vistas in the Dolomites. Whether you’re hiking in summer or skiing in winter, an overnight rifugio stay is not to miss on a Dolomite holiday.
