Cycling holidays in Italien

Into the north of Italy

Let's first take a look at the north of Italy and see where cycling holidays could take us here. Northern Italy includes Veneto, for example - Goethe already spent some time here on his trip to Italy from 1786 to 1788. Perhaps he would also use a bike to explore Italy today?

Wonderful cities such as Verona and Venice are located in Veneto. The lagoon city of Venice was once one of the most important cities in Europe and much of its former splendour can still be felt today. Venice is a city of culture, gondolas, churches and palaces.

Rückenwind Reisen offers tours from Bolzano to Venice, for example. South Tyrol welcomes you as the starting point of the journey, which is as much a nature experience as a cultural one. Trento and Lake Garda as well as Verona, the famous opera city, are attractive stopovers before you reach Venice. Luggage transport is of course included. If you prefer Lake Garda not as an intermediate stage but as the centre of your cycling holiday, you might choose cycle tours such as the Lake Garda rally. The Roman poet Catullus called this lake the ‘star of the eyes’. The man was right! Perhaps South Tyrol is too good to set off from here too quickly? Then use the Drau cycle path for tours through the sunniest of all Alpine regions or follow the Adige river through South Tyrol for a while.

Bathing, good food and a lot of pleasure at the Lake Garda

The Lake Garda is the biggest lake in Italy. At some of the lakefronts you can see 2000 or more metres high mountains. Here and there grapes for top wines grow in the proximity of the lake. A bicycle tour at the Lake Garda can be an excellent swimming holiday, because there are very good beaches. You will see boat hires, can take ferry links on the lake, use surf an sailing schools. There are some beautiful amusement parks like Gardaland and the Movieland Studios at the Lake Garda too.   

You cannot only get to know the Lake Garda on bike tours from Bozen to Venetia. Maybe you prefer a tour at the Lake Garda, where you always gets back to the Lake and which leads you for example to Trient, Verona and Mantua? Or you start a bicycle tour from the bottom of the Dolomite Alps via Brixen and Bozen to the Garda Lake. Other bike tours lead you from Innsbruck to the Lake Garda or from Meran via the Lake Garda to Verona. Beautiful are all of these journeys. We can promise that. And we do. Here and now.

Italy: Bozen-Venetien and the Lake Garda

Italy has certainly dreamlike regions too, which are perfect for cycle tours. That applies to the north of Italy with regions like South Tirol and Venetia, to the Abruzzi and Latium in the middle and to regions like Apulia, Calabria and Sicily in the south of Italy. For this website about cycle tours in Europe we have picked out tours in North Italy. One of them – a very beautiful one – leads you from Bozen in South Tirol via the regions at the Garda Lake to Venice. Other tours focus more on the Lake Garda, for example the Lake Garda “Centre Tour”.

Bozen, the capital of South Tirol, is surrounded on three sides by high mountains, so that you have again and again a good view on beautiful mountain tops. The capital of South Tirol convinces travellers with a Mediterranean climate, a good wine, sacred buildings like the cathedral “Maria Himmelfahrt” and Palaces like Maretsch and Sigmundskron. From Bozen „Bozen-Venetien“ bike tours lead you through North Italian towns like Verona with the famous arena, Vicenza and Padua with their numerous sights to Venice, perhaps the most famous town in North Italy. Here you maybe visit the St. Mark's Square, the St. Mark's Cathedral and the Doge's Palace. Enjoy a gondola ride on the Grand Canal with the famous Rialto Bridge. Equally famous and fascinating is the Bridge of Sighs in Venice. No doubt: Venice is beautiful. It is mysterious, not only during carnival. Venice is unique. And always worth a visit.
