Hotel Melodia del Bosco
There is hardly a more experienced, local bike guide in South Tyrol than Klaus Irsara. How convenient when you live right next door to him! The South Tyrolean bike pioneer is the boss of the traditional bike hotel Melodia del Bosco, a passionate gravel biker, racing cyclist and mountain biker. He knows the high mountain region in the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage Dolomites like the back of his hand. And the location of the bike hotel is also first class: quietly situated by the forest, just a stone's throw from the Würzjoch, Sella massif & Co. Here you'll be holidaying with like-minded people and getting into the saddle with your host. Melodia del Bosco is the perfect place for those who want to expand their off-road horizons as well as for fans of endless serpentines.

Ride. Sleep. Repeat.
The best gravel routes start directly from the hotel; bikes are available from Basso bike hire in the hotel, and great gravel bike tour tips from the boss himself. All tried and tested, of course. From beginners' tours of less than 50 kilometres to two-day tours with an overnight stay in a mountain hut. With highlights such as the Armentara Gravel Tour, the Juvel Gravel Tour into the Longiarü Valley, the long-distance Alpe di Siusi Gravel Tour - to the largest Alpine plateau in Europe - or the tour to Lake Braies. And afterwards? We head straight to the wellness area, where we relax in the mountain herbal sauna, with a massage or in the Technogym fitness room with a view of the Dolomites. In the evening, you can relax in the lounge bar and in the restaurant with Ladin and South Tyrolean specialities.
