Following the river Adige cycle path
Let us take you on long rides through the unique scenery of the Dolomites and along the Adige, the river that connects Bolzano with Verona. Cycling through these northern Italian lands is incredible; you’ll pass through quiet villages, picturesque castles, towns for lovers, vineyards, orchards as far as the eye can see, and the beautiful Lake Garda. Enjoy miles and miles of cycle paths for cyclists of all levels, including families with children.
Romantic cities, great wines, and architecture
As if pedaling through the Dolomites isn’t enough for your daily dose of romance, we’re topping it off with a visit to the cities of Verona and Venice. We’ll ignite the passion even further with traditional dishes, light wines from Lake Garda, and prestigious mountain wines. In short, the place to be if you enjoy good food and don’t mind a glass of wine! Finally, any chance you have architecture lovers in tow? They’re sure to enjoy the design buildings of Trentino Alto Adige and the great past of the renowned architect Andrea Palladio.
Organized bike tours
Start off your vacation worry-free and let us take care of the logistics. We’ll book comfortable hotels and guesthouses, transport your luggage, and have your rental bikes ready for you. We also provide an app with maps, a roadbook, points of interest, GPS tracks, and a seven-day-a-week support service. Find out more about our cycling holidays.
From the Alps to the Adriatic Sea
Few things in life are as relaxing as leisurely wandering through beautiful mountain scenery, but it gets even better when you have places like Innsbruck or Bolzano as your backdrop. A bit more South, you’ll discover Lake Garda and the Venice Lagoon, both offering an incredible variety of landscapes and artistic beauty to be discovered to the rhythm of the pedals.
From the Alps to Lake Garda
You can’t miss the rippling sounds of the river in the Adige Valley when cycling from Bolzano to Verona. As you ride along the (mostly traffic-free!) Adige Cycle Path, you’ll encounter vineyards, orchards, and the most beautiful cities in Trentino Alto Adige, such as Merano and Trento. If you want to explore even more northern Italian gems, you can stop by Lake Garda, Verona, and Mantua.
For families (1 tour)
Our family tour along the Adige river consists of easy stages suitable for less experienced cyclists. The route is mostly flat, with a few short climbs. The region of South Tyrol boasts an excellent cycle lanes system, so you can ride almost exclusively on well-planned, traffic-free roads.
