An inspiring cycle beneath imposing Dolomite peaks
through Prosecco vineyards to the enchanting Venice
The combination of both mountains and the sea are two ingredients to ensure
the success of any great cycling route and this trip offers you exactly that.
Starting from the lofty heights of the Dolomites, the route winds its way
around the foot of these imposing peaks with jaw dropping views stopping
you in your tracks around every turn. From Dobbiaco, close to the Austrian
border, to the elegant mountain town of Cortina, ringed by the pinnacles and
spires characteristic of this special alpine region, the cycle heads south along
an old rail trail to reach the ancient city of Belluno with the Schiara range
offering a heady backdrop. As you finally descend down onto the Venetian
plain the mountains give way to rolling vineyards where opportunities to
sample the famous sparkling Prosecco in the town of Valdobbiadene await
you. The final stage of this cycling journey will take you to the Adriatic Sea
where the enchanting city of Venice will welcome you with its unique beauty.
