In bici

Andrea Palladio opens the route from the heart of Vicenza, where, through the contrà, the streets of the historic centre embellished with elegant buildings, the journey begins towards the Berian countryside, discovering a well-preserved landscape rich in surprising historical and artistic evidence. Leaving the centre, take the cycle path that begins near the Arco delle Scalette, along the route of the former Vicenza-Montagnana railway.

The cycle path winds from Lake Garda to Venice and connects the cycle paths of Trentino Alto Adige with those of Veneto. This route has become a classic cycling tourism route in Italy because it offers a broad overview of the landscapes, traditions and beauties of the region. 

From the rocky landscapes of the Dolomites to the flat landscapes of the Venetian Lagoon, the scenery that you will see during this evocative itinerary changes gently from day to day.

Starting from Venice - Tronchetto, you embark for the Lido where the Islands of Venice Cycle Path (E5) starts. This route, extending between the sea and the lagoon, leads to Chioggia.

The second day you will ride along the Bacchiglione embankment, passing through the Benedictine Courts of Correzzola to reach the largest spa destination in Europe: Abano and Montegrotto Terme, in the Euganean Hills Regional Park.

Treviso is an enchanting city: the clear canals reflect ancient frescoed buildings and the colonnades that lead to Piazza dei Signori overlooked by the Palazzo dei Trecento. Ostiglia is an industrial city in the heart of the Po Valley, whose Roman origins identify it as an important river port. It is joined by a long military and commercial railway built in the early twentieth century and transformed a century later into the longest cycle path on former railways of Italy.

From Padua, the Euganean Hills appear on the horizon as isolated wavy lines with a surprising variety of shapes: conical profiles overhang reliefs with gentle slopes. This is the first impression that strikes those who approach the Regional Park of the Euganean Hills, but it is only by entering the territory that you can discover the extraordinary treasures of this corner of Veneto.

The Dolomites Cycle Path is one of the most rewarding routes in the entire Alps: cycling through environments and landscapes recognised by UNESCO as a Natural Heritage of Humanity.

The Mincio is the only emissary of Lake Garda and one of the main tributaries of the Po river; it is therefore a waterway of great importance for the history of river navigation and marks the border between Veneto and Lombardy. The excursion allows you to enjoy the beauty of Lake Garda and discover magnificent villages.

The islands of Lido di Venezia and Pellestrina mark the watershed between the Adriatic Sea and the Lagoon. Cycling along the cycle paths of these islands allows you to look out towards the open sea on one side and the lagoon on the other. The bell towers, the domes of the cities of Venice and Chioggia, shine in the background. This experience alone is enough to justify your choice of this bike tour.

The GiraSile cycle path runs along the banks of the longest spring-fed river in Europe in one of the most appealing stretches of the Regional Natural Park. In this area, the relationship between man and river is a constant dialogue between modernity and tradition, between natural areas and cultivated environments, between river landscapes and Venetian villas.
