  • EAGLE FLY

    Experience dramatic mountain beauty and fairytale towns in the Italian Alps. Each day during your hike or ride you’ll be surrounded by stunning Alpine scenery as you make your way through some of the most beautiful towns and villages of this breathtaking area.

    We designed this trip to showcase the Italian culture and style that integrate seamlessly within this impressive landscape. High-end fashion mixes with outdoor apparel and on display from the towns to the trails. We are particularly fond of world-class wines from surrounding hills that compliment beautifully our favourite traditional rustic cuisine.


    Although the focus is very much on the riding or hiking, we’ll make sure you get your daily caffeine fix and also have some time to explore places such as Cortina (host town of the next Winter Olympic Games), Corvara and lake Misurina, get a taste of local cuisine in one of the authentic farm houses.


    Each day both cycling and hiking groups will discover a different area of these breathtaking mountains and savour the excellent culture and cuisine: a result of Italian, Austrian and Ladin cultures integrated perfectly together.


    Ride over exhilarating passes, climb soaring spires and coast downhill to charming hamlets surrounded by meadows of wildflowers on mountain routes made famous by the world’s greatest cyclists.


    This adventure and experience will be quite simply - Beyond Extraordinary!
