I have traveled to the region for work a few times and it’s by far my favorite area in Italy. Outdoor opportunities everywhere you look and just amazing scenery, the Dolomites are amazing.
Living on the east coast of the US, flights for me are pretty easy. I’ve done direct from Philly to Venice, super easy.
Having raced in Europe a few times now I’ll say European races are the absolute best. The support from the host communities is second to none.
