Maratona dles Dolomites – 2021 Now Open Limited Places

“Thanks for a very relaxed trip to the Maratona. Everything worked like clockwork; coach transfers on time, easy check-in at the hotel, all entry information sorted, nice guided ride on the Friday and then the Maratona on Sunday, which was excellent! We stayed at Cappella Hotel in Colfosco and would highly recommend it as quality of accommodation, service and the food was superb!! Look forward to booking another trip with you.”

“Just feedback for the trip from my point of view. Great transfer painless and comfortable. The hotel was superb and would suggest the whole team stay there if possible. Would be great to get some caps/T shirts with your logo and the name of the event even if you had to add a couple of pounds to the cost. Thanks for a great trip and hope I will be able to join you next year in another ride”

“I just wanted to say thanks for organising such a great trip. I can’t think of anything I didn’t like. The hotel was excellent, perfect location, great food and friendly service with the added bonus of a nice pool & spa. The group of fellow riders in our hotel were all really nice people. The Maratona itself was superb, the best sportive I’ve done. Excellently organised and marshalled and a wobderful course with one amazing climb following another. I’ve already recommended you to someone wanting to do the Maratona next year.

“This is my third Italian trip that I have embarked on organised by your company and each one has been fantastic. If I thought the Stelvio trips were unbeatable then the Maratona dles Dolimites really raised the bar. The hotel was great, the event peerless and the transfers smooth.Your bike transfer paid off in dividends too, as 17 bikes were left on the tarmac at Marco Polo by EasyJet as they had overbooked the hold. I’m already saving up for my next trip, it will be Italy and it will be organised by you.”

“Taking advantage of Dudley’s bespoke bike trailer service, we arrived at the hotel with our bikes waiting for us and in time to squeeze in a short evening ride. The hotel was great with a lovely spa and gym (don’t forget your trunks!) and really good food, a perfect base for exploring the Dolomites and relaxing after a ride. The whole trip was well organised and hassle free, capped off by an amazing Maratona on the Sunday. All in all fantastic value for money and I wouldn’t hesitate to use European Cycle Events again as a luxurious means of gaining easy access to some of Europe’s bucket-list events.”

“In summary, I thought the trip was really well managed by you. The bike transfer (really important), the Maratona booking, the hotel, the bike storage area – all were excellent Of course, you helping me with my wreck of a bike was beyond the call of duty – thanks so much!”

“The whole experience I.e transfer, hotel, location pre-ride, organisation of the event including the coach transfer to and from registration was Magnificent. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The event was fantastico and challenging which is just what o like. Shame the weather wasn’t quite on our side, but you can’t have it all and it could have been worse. Thank-you.”

“I had a fantastic time on the trip. I thought the event was super well organized and you made sure that the race number pick up process was painfree by communicating clearly what we had to bring. The bike transfer service was very convenient and both the hotel and food were very high quality. This was the second time I have done this event with you and on both occasions I had a very good time. I would certainly look to participate in the Maratona again in the future but next year it is time for the GF Stelvio”

This is my second event with European Cycle Events and I will definitely be back for more. Last years’ GF Stelvio was fabulous and this with even better. The most beautiful scenery I have ever cycled through and a very tough course. The hotel was fabulous, with great food, lovely staff and excellent facilities. Dudley’s bike transfer service takes a lot of hassle out of the whole process too. 5 stars all round. Thanks Dudley!

I had an amazing 2019 trip; it was fantastically well organised and meant that I could focus on enjoying the riding rather than all the usual hassles associated with travel. The bike transport option is brilliant and avoids the whole anxiety about whether your bike box will arrive with you, plus you avoid having to build/dismantle your bike at the beginning and end of the trip. Transfer from airport to hotel was perfect and the hotel itself (Belsit in my case) was comfortable, relaxed, and friendly. It was great having Dudley with us for advice and guidance around the event itself. The Maratona is an amazing day with breath-taking scenery, beautiful climbs, and an amazing atmosphere. All thoroughly recommended.

This was a truly memorable trip. Not only was the event the best I have done, but letting ECE take the strain and sort out all the trip organisation and entry for me was one of my smartest recent decisions. Hopefully will be able to do this again in a future year, and if so, will be heading straight for booking here.

A great event and a fab trip. Thanks to Dudley for organising the stress-free bike transfer and for a beautiful warm-up ride on the friday. Excellent hotel in convenient location, amazing scenery, good quality road surfaces everywhere. Cycling heaven!

A great trip and very relaxed thanks to Dudley. The Cappella Hotel was superb, fantastic food, staff, location and the views just awesome at all times of the day..!
Everything from collecting race pack to being in the correct place on time on the day went like clockwork and again due to Dudley having been there many times before.
Be aware of the flat Friday ride as a warm-up as you will just fall in love with the scenery, views and the coffee.!
I will certainly be back for more……………………

An amazing event, tough but very rewarding, great atmosphere, unbelievable scenery, super roads, all hosted in a very nice hotel in a good location with very good food and company. Cheers Duds, another great weekend!
