7-day Alpe Adria Cycling Tour from Villach to Trieste

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:

• Culture in Tarvisio: You will be greeted in three languages at the border from Austria to Italy! Because here the Austrians, Italians and Slovenes say ‘hi’ to you!
• Gemona del Friuli: The picturesque town, the majestic cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta and the impressive vines speak for themselves. Feel the ‘Dolce Vita’ and enjoy pizza, pasta etc.
• Port city of Trieste: The dreamlike coastal landscape as well as the world-famous Miramare Castle in Trieste are the crowning conclusion of the cycle tour. The old town invites to take a leisurely stroll. Foodie tip: A read Italian coffee in Piazza Unità d’Italia in Trieste’s old town. Just lovely!
