Bike hotel Selva di Val Gardena with MTB tours

Exploring the Dolomites on two wheels

You get on your bike – and you are right in the middle of a cycling holiday in the Dolomites. The first few metres still take you through the village, then it gets quieter, wider, more open. From Santa Cristina and Selva, the trails lead you across alpine pastures, up to striking mountain passes, and time and again to views that seem made for a brief pause.
