Stelvio Package
Glurns/Glorenza - 3 nights prior to Dolomites Camp/3 country package see below for details

2007 Dolomites highlights: We celebrated lucky #8 - our eighth season in the Dolomites at Hotel La Perla in 2007. The week is best understood in superlatives - superior views, unsurpassed beauty, exquisite service, and wonderful clients.

The mountains can seem daunting, yet with enough gear, a little training, and the right attitude - the week is nothing short of superb. The flow from the first meal to the last, from the first ride up the Valparola to the last yodel from Signor Costa - it's all great, memorable and rich. The mountains beckon. This camp sells out. Sign up early!

Riding high in the sky - il cielo

Features: Rides include the Sella Ronda (a very challenging 4 pass ride), the Valparola loop ride, longer ride to Brunico and back via Passo della Furcia, and the Maratona - a spectacular mass start event held annually featuring 3 distance options on pristine mountain roads closed to automobile traffic... and full of like-minded cyclists.

Accommodations are unparalleled at Hotel La Perla - truly a pearl in the dolomites. The rooms are deluxe tyrolean, the cuisine is Michelin star-rated and the best part - the staff is warm and friendly. It's a dream vacation.

We conclude our camp with a mountain hike (yes, off the bike) where we wander in the high alpine meadows and enjoy breath-taking beauty before sitting down to a sumptuous feast in a mountain rifugio. (Non-hikers can take the day to explore more terrain on the roads, and on their own). JOIN US!
