Bolzano to Venice with Charm Cycling Tour

From South Tyrol to Veneto – this cycling tour begins with sweeping views of majestic mountains and winding river valleys, bringing you stage by stage closer to the sea. One constant along the way: the vineyards. Around Trento, they yield bold red wines; in the Veneto, sparkling Prosecco. After discovering the charming old towns of Bolzano and Trento, you’ll arrive at Lake Garda, where glittering waters and Mediterranean flair await. The views from the boat are especially enchanting—lush hillsides, elegant palazzi, and the soft rhythm of the waves. In Verona, romance lingers in the air with the story of Romeo and Juliet, while Vicenza is a tribute to Palladio’s architectural genius. As the terrain flattens, you draw nearer to the city of islands and canals. La Serenissima welcomes you!

Highlights:

• Amore, vino è bellissimo paesaggio (beautiful landscape): Each stage opens up a different view – from vineyards to orchards and Alpine ranges to the Mediterranean in Venice. A more diverse trip is hardly possible!
