Dolomites home-based tour

Valley Pusteria - Country of the 3 peaks

Route

Tour profile / Level 1-2

Easy tour - ideal for families; it runs consistently on valley cycle paths without steep inclines. On the most days there is the possibility to choose independently the desired length of the route. In addition for convenience you can take a day of rest. The tour is recommended for children from up to 12 years if they cycle alone. For younger children under the age of 5-6 we suggest a tagalong/trailer. (up on request) The overnight stay is intended always in the same hotel in Hochpustertal/Alta Val Pusteria (Niederdorf/Toblach), from where the daily trips start and it is not necessary that you change the hotel day for day.

Day 1: Niederdorf/Toblach

    • 21-speed bike men or ladies frame
    • Rental bike TOP (aluminium frame, 21 speed)

    E-bikes

    With an E-bike every bike tour is a breeze! If you had few opportunities to cycle over the last weeks or if you are not sure concerning your fitness, but also with physical disabilities, every bike ride is a treat! The shiftable, low noise electric drive of our modern electro bike relieves you of some of the work and increases the pedal force up to 3 times ... So you can now book a bike tour together with cyclists who have different fitness level. Acclivity can be handled easily.

    Note: E-bikes are a great development, but should be - due to their driving characteristics (high weight + high speed) - booked only by very safe and experienced cyclists with a very good sense of balance. Not suitable are electric bikes for people who rarely ride a bicycle
