Description
The Dolomites. The mountain range in the north of
Italy features some of the most beautiful landscapes in
the world, with vertical walls, sheer cliffs and a high
density of narrow, deep and long valleys. The charming
peaks are renowned for their enchanting shapes and
colour: changing at down and rose at sunset. The
inhabitants have created over the centuries an
impressive network of breathtaking roads to travel from
one valley to another with dozens of passo's in between.
It's not only the serene beauty, it's also the gripping
past, which are mentioned when you read about the
Dolomites. The mountains always formed a natural and
linguistic border since the Middle Ages. It's most
tragic period was during World War I when the front line
between Italian and Austro-Hungarian forces passed
exactly through the mountain range. The static warfare
of almost 4 years had a fatal ending for ten thousands
of soldiers, who died more often from hunger and cold
than from hostile projectiles.
Fortunately there have been fought more peaceful battles
over the last century when the Giro d'Italia passed by.
The Dolomites form the inspiring décor when the 3 weeks
cycling race comes to its climax and the riders fight
for a stage win or their ranking in the G.C. Spectacle
guaranteed.
Bike-Dreams has linked the majority of the most famous
passes of the Dolomites together in a wonderful, but
also demanding, two weeks tour. Passo Pordoi,
Passo di Giau, Passo di Fedaia,
Tre Cime di Lavaredo, Passo di
Gavia, Passo dello Stelvio and
a lot more. Tutti Dolomiti. Challenge guaranteed.
The start and finish of Tutti Dolomiti is in
Verona. The city's history dates back to the
Romans and it is nowadays a delight of medieval palaces,
winding streets, elegant churches and ancient ruins.
Verona was for Shakespeare's the setting of Romeo and
Juliet, a lovely place to start.
The abundance of culture makes soon place for lush
fields and gentle hills filled with vineyards. No time
for culture any more, only time for sweat. The hills
become mountains, the panorama's get better and better,
the climbs get steeper, and the conditions get tougher.
You cycle in the heart of one of world's best cycling
Mecca's : the Dolomites.
"Tutti Dolomiti" starts Wednesday
May 21st, 2025
at the impressive Roman arena in the centre of Verona.
You return to the wonderful city after 15 days, 13
stages, 1.100 kilometers and almost 27.000 altitude
meters.
The riders which are interested in some culture can
visit the days before the start a classic opera in the
2.000 year old arena. A magical and unique experience.
The tour starts at the beginning of the summer season.
Hopefully we get beautiful sunny days, but keep in mind
that the weather conditions can always be unsettled in
the Dolomites. Good or bad weather conditions; we make
sure that your engines keep on running and that every
day a warm shower and a comfortable hotel room is
waiting.
"Tutti Dolomiti" is a physical challenge in a stunning
setting. You don't have to be a famous professional to
get the feeling that you are a rider of the Giro
d'Italia. Climb the legendary passo's at your speed and
dream that you are Fausto Coppi, Gino Bartali or Marco
Pantani.
