Bolzano to Verona - 5-day Self-guided Cycling Tour 

The best of the Adige cycling route in five days! Start cycling in South Tyrol, a crossroads of peoples and cultures. As you follow the course of the Adige River southward, vineyards and perched castles give way to olive groves, typical of the Lake Garda area. Grand finale with arrival in Verona, one of the most beautiful and important cities of art in the Veneto region: if you are passionate about history (and love legends) you will not be disappointed. 

Highlights:

  • The South Tyrolean Wine Route
  • The spectacular view of Lake Garda from Passo San Giovanni
  • Roman vestiges and Shakespearean memories in Verona

Adige River Cycling Tour

The Adige River 5-day self-guided ride was our first ever organised bike ride. We loved every minute of it. The riding was amazing with great views and lovely villages at every pedal stroke. The towns chosen for overnight stops were really different from each other but all beautiful and interesting in their own right. The trip on Lake Garda was a highlight and really added another dimension to the ride. Bike tracks and small back roads felt safe at all times and the maps and guide were very accurate, easy to read and informative. The bikes were amazingly smooth to ride. We had an e-bike and a regular bike and both were in great condition with no problems over the journey. Tony and Mandy, Victoria, Australia, June 2019
