The ride.

Same route as the guided Dolomiti, same hotels, same bags in your room. What you lose is the guide. What you gain is the right to stop for an hour at the top of the Giau because the light is good.

You get the full GPX on a navigation unit, a 40-minute briefing in Bolzano and a phone number that answers from 07:00 to 22:00. Noor can reach most of this route in under two hours with the van.

Four Sunday starts from June to September, with the rooms held for you.

We sat at the top of the Giau for an hour and nobody told us to get moving. Called the support line once, for a restaurant tip. It was the right tip.

A small bike on big passes is a good joke, and the joke is on the guys on the big bikes. Navigation unit was loaded and mounted before I arrived.
