DOLOMITES & LAKE GARDA

A Tour Built Around Freedom – Base Camp Dolomites & Lake Garda

This is the Dolomites tour done right. Instead of packing and unpacking every single day, we have built this trip around a base camp concept that gives you the freedom to just ride. Five nights in the same hotel in the heart of the Val di Fassa, followed by two nights near Lake Garda—with luggage-free riding on both sections. Show up, gear up, and go.

The Dolomites need no introduction. Sweeping mountain passes, dramatic rock faces, smooth tarmac, and a road network that was basically built for motorcycles. Whether it is the extended Sella Ronda, a blast over Passo di Giau, or a detour to the emerald shores of Lago di Carezza—every day out of base camp delivers something worth talking about.

Each day features approximately 5 hours of net riding time across daily distances of 210 to 260 kilometers from the Dolomites base—enough to cover serious ground without turning it into an endurance event. The pace is designed for riders who want to push it on the passes but still have time to stop for a coffee, grab a photo, and enjoy the surroundings. And if one day you simply want to stay put? Every loop day can be taken as a rest day—no pressure, no schedule.

From the Dolomites we head south to Lake Garda, adding two more nights and another luggage-free day to explore the west coast cliffs, the legendary Strada della Fora, and a full circumnavigation of the lake via the Monte Baldo area.

This tour is aimed at intermediate riders who are comfortable on mountain roads and ready for full days of technical riding—hairpin turns, narrow passes, and constantly changing terrain. Premium rental motorcycles and full gear packages are available for those flying in, so all you need to do is show up ready to ride.

Five nights in the Dolomites. Two nights at Lake Garda. Zero days of boring roads.

Group Riding

One of the most rewarding aspects of this tour is the shared experience of riding with like-minded enthusiasts. There’s something special about exploring the open road together, conquering mountain passes side by side, and sharing the day’s highlights over dinner each evening.

Many riders find that the friendships formed on tours like these last well beyond the final day, creating a sense of camaraderie that adds a whole new dimension to the journey. Riding in a group does require a bit of give and take, as everyone’s safety and enjoyment depend on mutual respect and a spirit of cooperation.
