Itinerary
Two sports. One unforgettable day. This is the Dolomites at full throttle.Your morning starts on an e-bike, rolling through one of the most beautiful alpine valleys in the world. Pedal at your own pace and soak in the scenery because things are about to get vertical. Park the bikes, clip on your harness, and step onto a historic Via Ferrata. These "iron paths" were first carved into the rock by soldiers over a century ago, and today they offer the most thrilling way to reach summits that would otherwise be out of reach. A steel cable keeps you safe the whole way up, and your certified mountain guide helps you navigate.
Conquer the peak. Breathe in the insane views. Enjoy a delicious meal at a nearby rifugio or simply enjoy your packed lunch perched on top of the world. Then, follow the well-marked trails back down to your E-bikes through the forest. Your guide will tailor the route on the day based on conditions and your group, so every experience is unique. All you need to bring is your appetite for adventure!

Day 1
E-Bike & Via Ferrata Day in Cortina
Two iconic activities. One extraordinary day in the Dolomites. Get ready to test your skills with two of the most exciting and beloved adventures the mountains have to offer: an e-bike tour and a via ferrata. In the morning, meet your local UIAGM/IFMGA-certified guide in Cortina d'Ampezzo and set off into the valley. Begin with an exhilarating ride on your e-bike, then continue on foot to reach the start of a historic via ferrata. Via ferratas offer climbers the chance to ascend peaks that would otherwise be inaccessible without technical climbing experience. With the safety kit we provide, you'll always be secured to a steel cable running along the path. Under the watchful guidance of an expert who will support you every step of the way, you'll conquer the summit and take in breathtaking views from above. The exact itinerary will be determined by your guide based on weather conditions and your skill level. At the end of the via ferrata - or nearby - you'll likely find a welcoming rifugio, perfect for a well-deserved rest. If you wish, you can savour a delicious and wholesome meal for lunch, or simply enjoy your packed lunch while soaking in the stunning panorama. To descend, you'll follow well-marked trails that meander through the woods, leading you back to your e-bikes. From there, enjoy a scenic ride back to Cortina d'Ampezzo.

What You Need to Know
Layering for Mountain Weather
Summer temperatures can hit 80°F / 25°C in the valleys but drop to 60°F / 15°C on summits during the day and as low as 30°F / 0°C in the evening. For every 1,000 feet climbed, the temperature drops by 3.6°F (6.5°C per 1,000 meters). Layer up with synthetic fabrics like polypropylene or wool - they wick moisture, dry fast, and provide effective insulation with a lightweight feel. Mountain weather is unpredictable, and swift temperature drops during sudden storms can be dangerous if unprepared. Always pack rain gear.
Footwear Tips
Break in new boots or shoes before your trip. Pack blister protection like Band-Aid Blister Block - even familiar footwear can cause trouble on long days. Sturdy ankle support is essential for via ferrata approaches and descents.
Cycling Apparel Tips
Wear comfortable cycling clothes suitable for all-day wear, providing protection from cold and possibly wet weather. Use your judgment on quantities based on expected weather and luggage restrictions.
Saddle Time
Being on a bike all day is a wonderful experience, but if you aren't used to it, you may get sore! Spend as much time on your bike as you can before the trip, and you'll enjoy it far more.
Trekking Poles
Recommended for those who need knee support on descents and added stability on via ferrata approaches. Practice with one or two before the trip.
Safety and Security
Your guide will carry a comprehensive bicycle repair kit. Repair sprays are not recommended.
