Biking – 40-50 km (25-30 mi.) a day over terrain that’s relatively flat but will include inclines and the occasional climb or two.
Walking – 8-12 km (5-7 mi.) a day over relatively flat terrain, with occasional steeper climbs.
Biking – 40-50 km (25-30 mi.) a day in gently rolling countryside, with occasional longer climbs to points that are well worth the effort.

Biking – Roughly 50 km (30 mi.) a day in consistently rolling countryside, with repeated climbs and longer options available.

Wake up to an invigorating yoga practice or savour your cappuccino from Castel Fragsburg's perched terrace, overlooking Monte San Vigilio. Embark on a forested path for views of Merano’s orchard-filled valley far below. Regenerate during an alchemy-inspired spa treatment or hop on your bike for a spin before a gourmet candle-lit dinner.
After some mindful stretching in the hotel’s novel treehouse, your next adventure takes you high into the clouds to witness the beauty of the Dolomite peaks up close during a heli-flight. Land gently next to our favourite mountain hut where flutes of bubbles and an epic hike await.
Rise early for an optional yoga session gazing across the Alpe di Siusi’s magical alpine meadow then hop on your e-bike to explore valley trails and quiet forest roads. Lunch at a rustic cabin then consider extending your ride up to the high alpine or hop in a gondola for some well-deserved pampering in Alpina Dolomite’s sauna.
Hike along a ridge and capture breathtaking views of the pale Dolomite mountains, cycle to pristine lakes on wide track trails, linger over a mountain-top lunch or slip into the spa. Regardless of what way you go, your guide will ensure your choices are as memorable as the stunning views that accompany them.
