Alpe Adria Villach – Grado 5/4

Alpe Adria Tour Villach - Grado

Difficulty Level:
Duration: 5 days
Distance: 210 - 210 km
Landscape:

The starting point of this bike tour is Villach, situated on the edge of the Klagenfurt basin, where the rivers Drau and Gail flow together. Soon, however, it is time to say goodbye to Austria, before the cycling tour continues in Italy. The Friuli-Venezia Giulia region not only offers a variety of landscapes, but also invites you on a journey through the cultural diversity of the region.

This mix of cultures is also reflected in the kitchen: Alpine-Austrian, Slovenian and Venetian influences characterise the gastronomic offer of the region. Leaving the peaks of the Carnic Alps far behind, you will cycle towards the sea on the southern side of the Alps. In front of you the Adriatic coast will stretch with miles of sandy beaches. The tour from Villach to Trieste is an easy tour. It goes along bike paths or very quiet side roads, through small villages and picturesque landscape.

The town is dominated by the majestic Santa Maria Assunta Cathedral, which is certainly worth a visit. Wine dominates today‘ s stage. Hills full of vines line your path and invite you to taste a drop or two.
