| Travelling to Italy for your active vacation is no small undertaking, what with many hours of travel across multiple time zones. So to be sure that nothing but the weather is left to chance, we've designed our tours to make sure you're always travelling with excellent companions—your own close friends!
When you pick your own group for an Altaquota Adventures active tour, you determine the dynamics of each day's riding, hiking, mountain biking, or skiing/boarding, so that a there's always a nice match of abilities and speed—or a well know difference that you've already accommodated many times.
And we make it seamless! We'll orchestrate the day's activities so your group rides, hikes, or skis the most notable trails, the biggest passes, or the greatest descents together! You'll enjoy a level of camaraderie and cohesion with your companions that is impossible to duplicate with larger groups of mismatched individuals.
Also, to put it bluntly, you'll never find yourself stuck with a "weed" on our tours—you know that one person that is abrasive and just doesn't fit in!
So pick your ideal group, be it you and your spouse, two couples, 3 girlfriends, or perhaps 4 training buddies from your local cycling club, and then let us put your Italian adventure in motion! |
