This cycling tour to Venice follows the well-known cycle track „München Venezia“ and joins pure leisure cycling with the adventure of traversing the Alps from the mountains to the Adria. On cycling paths, cycle routes or small side roads you will experience different regions and lots of outstanding natural and cultural beauties.
The cycling route will lead you through the UNESCO world natural heritage – the Dolomites– to Treviso and finally to the gates of the Serenissima – Venice – with its doges palaces and famous canals.
The cycling tour from Innsbruck to Venice is a very varied tour. The most demanding stages over the Alps (Innsbruck– Brenner) can be shortened by train or bus and the stage from Dobbiaco to Cortina d’Ampezzo leads easily along the cycle path on the old railway trail. The last two days are downhill and flat towards the sea.

Day 1: Innsbruck
Individual arrival to the first hotel in Innsbruck.
Day 2: Innsbruck - Mühlbach
(approx. 55 km + train or bus)
You leave Tyrol’s capital Innsbruck. The demanding part from Innsbruck to the Brennero pass, border between Austria and Italy and at the same time watershed and cultural axis, will be done by transfer (train or bus). Only a few buildings remind of the former border between the two European countries. From the Brennero you cycle along the old railway track to Vipiteno and further on to Fortezza and Mühlbach..
Day 3: Mühlbach - Niederdorf / Toblach
(approx. 50 - 55 km)
From Mühlbach a well-built cycling path leads you through the Val Pusteria, passing the Mühlbacher Klause, a former border post. Once it was an antique gate between the provinces Rätien and Norikum. Along the river Rienz you will arrive to Brunico. We suggest a visit of the Volkskundemuseum (South Tyrolean Folklore Museum) in Teodone or one of the two Messner Mountain Museums MMM in the castle of Brunico or on the Kronplatz mountain. From Brunico you cycle along the cycling path along the river Rienz to Villabassa or Dobbiaco, where you will spend the night.
Day 4: Niederdorf / Toblach - Pieve di Cadore
(approx. 60- 65 km)
From here you follow the cycling path on the old Dolomites railway trail passing lake Toblacher See and the War Cemetery reminding World War I. Shortly after, you will admire a unique view on the world famous Drei Zinnen (Three Peaks) before arriving to lake Dürrensee. Slightly steep the cycling path leads to the border of the two provinces Bolzano and Belluno. From now on you roll comfortably downhill direction south to the pearl of the Dolomites, Cortina d’Ampezzo with its astonishing mountain scenery. Today is slightly downhill again, a large part still on the old railway trail – on your left the massif of Sorapis, on your right the massif Cinque Torri (five towers). Through the Boite-Valley you cycle direction South to Pieve di Cadore.
Day 5: Pieve di Cadore - Conegliano
(approx. 80 km)
From here you will cycle on the new cycling path to Longarone. This town was completely rebuilt in 1963 after a landslide at the former Vajont damm, above the village caused a huge flood. From Longarone you cycle on to Conegliano.
Day 6: Conegliano - Venice mainland / Mestre
(approx. 95 km)
You leave the Alps behind and arrive to Treviso, city of waterways and fashion. On your way you can admire numerous villas from the Italian master-builder Palladio, who was able to complete here his magnificent buildings under the influence of the leading European sea power Venice. River Sile remains your faithful companion in the direction Adriatic Sea to Venice mainland/Mestre from where you can start your exploration of the „Serenissima“.
