Few landscapes in Europe match the unique beauty of the jagged limestone Dolomites. The self-guided cycling route starts with incredible views of Trentino's dramatic mountains, cycling on relatively easy roads and tracks along the Adige River. On reaching the northern shore of Lake Garda, enjoy the breath taking views of one of the most famous Italian Lakes. A four hour ferry cruise on the lake gives you the opportunity to take in these wonderful vistas before continuing the ride through the beautiful cities of Verona, Padova and finally exploring the canals and waterways of Venice.

Itinerary

Make your way to Bolzano, the capital of the South Tyrol. Wander through its network of winding alleys or pay a visit to its famous Museum of Archeology.

Today you will ride mainly along the Adige River, through fragrant orchards and vineyards, passing through the villages of Ora, Egna and Salorno. Scenic pathways lead onward to Trento, set in a wide glacial valley guarded by the towering peaks of the Dolomites.

Included Meals: Breakfast

As you pedal along the Adige, you reach Rovereto and Mori, which is famous for its quality wines. From here, you cycle westwards to Lake Garda, the largest lake in Italy. Pass the picturesque towns of Torbole and Riva before taking the ferry across Lake Garda. Spend an overnight stay in either Peschiera or Desenzano.

Included Meals: Breakfast

From Lake Garda, we cycle on quiet roads towards the legendary city of Verona, arguably one of the most beautiful cities in the Veneto. Take time to discover the iconic arena, Basilica San Zeno and of course Juliet's house with its honey coloured stone balcony.

Included Meals: Breakfast

It's undulating cycling to the charming town of Soave, with its perfectly preserved castle surrounded by vineyards. Then either take the challenging route into the Berici hills for stunning vistas or follow an easier route past the Villa Valmarana into Vicenza. The old city centre is a jewel of Renaissance architecture, with its Basilica standing as a testament to one of Italy's most revered architects, Andrea Palladio.

Included Meals: Breakfast

Cycling out of Vicenza you come across the beautiful Palladian Villa Rotonda. Along the Bacchiglione river, the route continues towards the scenic landscape of the Euganean hills, the biggest European thermal resort, with an overnight in a wonderful hotel in verdant surroundings.

Included Meals: Breakfast

It's easy pedalling along the Battaglia Canal to Padua and the largest square in Italy. Continue past ancient villas to Mestre, Venice's mainland. The 'Floating City' is easily accessible; take time exploring its labyrinth of narrow streets, iconic bridges and famous sights. Overnight in Mestre.

Included Meals: Breakfast

End your trip in Mestre (Venice). If you have time, Mestre (Venice) is an excellent place to spend a couple of days enjoying the delights of this world famous city; take a gondola ride along the Grand Canal, marvel at Venetian art through the ages and relax with a gelato (or two!).
