The route from Bolzano in the Dolomites to Venice offers a stunning mix of picturesque landscapes, charming villages, and historical sites. The Dolomites provide a dramatic backdrop with their towering peaks, while the cycling paths pass through serene countryside, vineyards, and scenic routes. The cycling experience can vary in difficulty based on the chosen route, terrain, and elevation gains.
Scenery, cycle paths and canals A great week of varying scenery and enjoyable cycling. It was lovely to be cycling on cycle paths by the river on the first couple of days. Towns and cities were interesting and beautiful, with enough time spent there to get a feel for places and see the main sights. Food was good and plenty of chances to sample local wines. Cycling was not too hard with most days being undulating, but all hills very manageable (it was probably one of the easiest 'moderates' we have done).
Wonderful first cycling holiday This was my first cycling holiday so I was not sure what to expect. Since the trip is rated Moderate I thought it may be challenging as I have not done much cycling before and only bought a bike a month ago. At times it was a bit tough with windy conditions and since I wanted to stop and take photos to make it easier for myself Michele arranged for me to get an E-bike on the second day. This made a huge difference especially for the hills and I didn't have any worries anymore.
