Lakes
Between the mountains, the hills and the plain, bodies of water reflect the light and harmony of the landscape, oases of tranquillity, colours and serenity.
Gravel
For cyclists, gravel means a new way of approaching cycling: discovering the authentic side of the territory, testing yourself on demanding routes and cycling together with new companions on adventures. The white gravel roads of the countryside, hills and mountains are waiting for you.
There are cyclists who plan precisely their bicycle trip, carefully studying online the characteristics of the roads, calculating the averages and elevation gain, choosing the best support points in order to define the various stages, and weighing and re-weighing bags for reduced weight on the bicycle. There are others who simply set off on an adventure, driven by a suggestion that becomes a dream. For them, their bags are always ready and bikes already fine-tuned to face the 100 kilometres a day. For lovers of gravel biking, the endless network of ‘white roads’ in Veneto is like a huge playground with many bike hotels to stay at.

MTB
A mountain bike is the ideal way to get in touch with nature because it respects the silence of the environment while also offering the opportunity to have fun and play sports. E-bikes allow everyone to try easy off-road excursions, while experts recommend the flow trails and challenging descents in the Dolomites.
Veneto is a concentration of extraordinary environments: from the alpine peaks, to the coastal forests, from the lagoon of Venice to Lake Garda, from the multifaceted hills to the great rivers of the plain. Off-road itineraries offer a holiday in contact with this extraordinary nature. The beautiful roads of the Prealps lead to peaks where the view ranges from the Dolomites to the Adriatic Sea, while the ascents of the Treviso and Veronese hills allow access to the vineyards where world-famous wines are made. On the steep volcanic slopes of the Euganean Hills, sport is combined with the well-being proposals of the thermal waters and mud baths. You don’t need to be an athlete to try an electric bicycle trip in Valbelluna or on the Asiago Plateau; meanwhile, expert bikers looking for strong emotions must try the Sellaronda MTB Tour, the trails on the San Pellegrino Pass and the descents from Monte Baldo. In any event, it is always advisable to ride with an MTB guide.
