The Dolomites are a truly MIGHTY sight, with their dramatic rock faces, steep peaks and spectacular mountain scenery. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is a dream destination for motorcyclists, offering winding mountain roads, unforgettable views and some of the most enjoyable riding in Europe. Based in Bressanone, our two rides explore the north-western part of the Dolomites and take you into the heart of these magnificent mountains. We even enjoyed one of our best day rides ever here! So, are the Mighty Dolomites already on your motorcycle bucket list?
You have probably seen pictures of the Dolomites, with their distinctive steep rock faces and dramatic peaks shaped by erosion and weathering. But seeing these mountains in real life is something else! Around 16 peaks rise above 3,000 metres (9,843 ft), and the highest, Marmolada, reaches 3,343 metres (10,968 ft). In 2009, the Dolomites were added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in their entirety. They truly deserve the name Mighty Dolomites!
Bressanone, also known as Brixen, is an excellent base for exploring the north-western part of this spectacular mountain region. Our two rides take you along winding mountain roads, through breathtaking landscapes and towards some of the most impressive peaks in the Dolomites. There are fantastic views around every corner and plenty of opportunities to stop and take it all in.
We enjoyed one of the most memorable day rides we have ever done here, and we cannot wait for you to experience these mighty mountains for yourself. If you love mountain riding, the Dolomites absolutely belong on your motorcycle bucket list!

This ride is going West of Bressanone and will be leaving the official Dolomite area. But we knew from experience that there is a lot of nice riding to do in that area as well, offering some pretty nice views on the peaks of the Mighty Dolomites from a bit of a distance. And with doing the Passo Palade and Passo di Monte Giovo, better know as the Jaufenpass, it is still an amazing mountain ride in the North of Italy!
