Description

Discover the impressive Dolomites on the border between Italy and Austria. Join me for an incredible week riding an electric mountain bike through these amazing valleys.

Over the course of 6 days, we'll explore the beautiful and iconic area of Cinque Torri, Tre Cime di Lavaredo, Canazei, Ronda Sella massif, and more. We'll also enjoy local cuisine and comfortable hotels and huts. All while having fun on an electric mountain bike!

You can review the itinerary below for a more detailed description of what we’ll be doing each day, though it may change depending on the group's level. The itinerary can also be modified to  suit your preferences and needs. For those of you looking for a shorter trip, we can finish the adventure after day 4.

All skill levels are welcome for this trip. However, you will need a good fitness level. Our longest riding day covers 57 kilometers, but the other ones are easier. The routes are not that steep and I will help you gain confidence with each passing day.

Thierry

Awesome experience, knocked another item from my bucket list.

Yogesh

Well organised trip with excellent guides and admin support Highly recommend 😊

The Guide did not even know I'am on splitboard. Everyone else was on skis, I was the only one on board. Guide has no experience on board, so the daily trips was designed for skiers, not borders. I would like to know which company is responsible putting me in a ski group, Azimut or Explore-Share? If you don't know the difference between what is doable with skis and splitboards, you would not sell trips for splitboarders! In the only day I could enjoy somehow, I did very hard time to stay on my feet on icy steeps, because I should have had a crampon, but I did not have it, because the list of necessary equipment does not mention it. All the skiers had one. The guide anyway did what he could to help me, all the respect for Rafael. But the whole trip was a fuckup for me that way. I really want to know who is responsible!?

Yelena

the trip did not correspond program description which forced me to leave on the second day, with huge financial losses. the guide checked and confirmed ny capabilities to ski - indeed after it was failed off road asked me to make a decission to give up. When I asked the agency to organize a transfer at least back to the meeting point (from the middle of nowhere) they pretended they can't do it (indeed, it was included to the program...) the worst every trip in my life. And explore and share instead of any invistigation simply did not care.

Raphael

Had a great trip. Unfortunately the guide was not fluent in English as written in the description. That is something that could lead to a very tricky situation if there would‘ve been a dangerous situation. The selection of the group by azimut was not the best as at least one person was physically not capable of doing this trip. However, the service by explore-share was great!
