You bike trip in Venetia
Lagoons and sandy beaches, the foothills of the Alps and the gentle hills of the Monti Berici and the Euganean hills, green riversides along the rivers Adige and Sile – that is how much variety in terms of different landscapes there are on this tour through Veneto. Cultural highlights include the lagoon city of Venice, the city of Palladio, Vicenza and Bassano del Grappa with its famous, medieval covered wooden bridge. In between, you will find picturesque little villages and towns as well as the many grape-vines famous for the Prosecco amongst others which are pressed there. Out of this fascinating mixture, connected by ideal cycling routes, we have formed an unforgettable cycling tour for you.
Day 1 : Arrival in Venice / Mestre
Today, you will have the opportunity to visit the lagoon city of Venice, which is located only 20 minutes from your hotel and can easily be reached by public transportation.
Day 2 : Venice/Mestre – Chiogga | 35 km
The day starts with a tour information meeting and bike fitting. Then you will cycle on the bike path over the Liberty Bridge to Venice. You will take the ferry to Lido and continue your bike journey via Pellestrina, with a marvelous view over the sea, to Chioggia, a quiet little town, reminiscent of the Venetian maritime supremacy which invites you to stay and enjoy yourself in one of its typical fish restaurants.
Day 3 : Chiogga – Abano Terme | 55 km
Before you start the stage, you should take some more time to enjoy the flair of the Venetian lagoon. The main route today is the antique river course of Bacchiglione, once used by cargo ships, the so-called “burci”. When you arrive in Abano Terme, the beautiful thermal water pools await you in the hotel.
Day 4 : Abano Terme – Vicenza | 35 km
Again, the Bacchiglione is the guideline. Through fertile fields, it goes to Vicenza. The city, which the star architect of the Middle Ages, Palladio, helped to world fame. Numerous mansions and palaces based on his manuscript still characterize the cityscape today. The Teatro Olimpico and the Basilica are a must see for every visitor. Beautiful places also invite for a cappuccino break.
Day 5 : Vicenza – Bassano del Grappa | 40 km
From Vicenza, you will ride your bike on nice roads to Marostica, famous for its castle and stone chess board in the main square. Now, you are not far from Bassano del Grappa anymore, with its covered wooden bridge and the famous brandy, grappa. In the Poli Grappa Museum a little Grappa tasting session is prepared for you.
Day 6 : Bassano del Grappa – Treviso | 55 km
In the morning, you will cycle up some small hills after which only the climb to Asolo remains. The idyllic village of Roman origin invites you to take a first break. Then, the trail descends slightly and you will cycle into the region of the world famous Prosecco and further to Treviso with its many attractions.
Day 7 : Treviso – Venise/Mestre | 45 km
First, the path leads along the river Sile to Casale. Now, you are already close to the starting point of your trip.
