6-day Cycle Alpe Adria tour from Villach to Grado

This cycling tour leads you from Austria’s sunniest state along the South side of the Alps all the way to the sea including impressive nature spectacles, cultural diversity and gastronomic delicacies. Sample the Carinthian dish ‚Kasnudeln‘, marvel at the peaks of the Carnic Alps, enjoy a glass of white wine from the Collio region on a piazza in Udine and finally rewards yourself with a dip in the refreshing Adriatic Sea. Lots of variation guaranteed during your route from the Alps to the sea.

Highlights: 

• Cultural diversity in Tarvisio: At the border between Austria and Italy, you will be greeted in three languages! Because this is where Austrians, Italians and Slovenes say “Hello”!
• Gemona del Friuli: The picturesque townscape, the majestic Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta and the impressive vines speak for themselves. Feel the “Dolce Vita” and enjoy pizza, pasta and more.

Tour character: Level 2
