About your bike tour

Join the 2011 Giro d’Italia on this amazing tour through the Italian Dolomites and Austrian Alps.

We’ll enjoy watching the world’s best pro cyclists ride through the beautiful northern Italian Dolomites mountains, see the individual time trial on the famous Zoncolan mountain, and head into the Austrian Alps with a view of Austria’s highest mountain, the Grossglockner.

Between stage viewing, there's plenty of time for riding. We’ll conquer the most beautiful Dolomite passes on our rides, all fully supported by our personal guide and van.

We'll use the charming town of Niederdorf, Italy as our home base where we'll be treated well in the 4 star Hotel Adler.
