SNEAK PEAKS - Director's Cut is a self-supported bikepacking expedition organised by ORBIT360, based out of Bolzano in the Italian Dolomites. The route traverses high alpine passes and remote mountain terrain, using staffed rifugios as official checkpoints. There is no cut-off time for participants, with organizers maintaining the finish line open until the final rider returns.

The Director's Cut route covers 500 km with 17,600 meters of elevation gain across seven checkpoints. Terrain consists of 58% unpaved surfaces, 40% paved roads, and 2% alpine walking or hike-a-bike sections, featuring prolonged stretches without resupply opportunities. An alternative Extended Cut route is also run concurrently, covering 1,000 km with 37,400 meters of elevation gain, eleven checkpoints, and a surface breakdown of 64% unpaved, 30% paved, and 6% alpine.

Participation is capped at 100 riders per distance. Rider entry includes an income-tiered registration structure along with the Cosmic Care Fund initiative to support riders with tighter budgets. Mandatory GPS tracker rentals are required for live tracking and safety monitoring. Basecamp accommodations with tent pitches, showers, and restrooms are available at Ahoi Minigolf at the start and finish venue.

All registered riders receive a comprehensive event handbook, a verified GPX file, media access, post-ride rewards, 24/7 expedition headquarters monitoring, and entry to the post-ride finisher pizza party. Full event details, rules, and entry registrations are available on the official event website.
