This tour takes you through three countries: Italy, Austria and Slovenia. Starting in the Hochpustertal Valley, you will cycle through beautiful natural surroundings on a route that takes you not only to the most famous lakes in these areas, but also to small hidden gems. Finally, you will reach Villach, a well-known town in Carinthia and the final destination of your journey.
The cycle tour largely follows well-developed cycle paths, very often directly along the lake shore. In some sections, the route runs along national roads without cycle paths. The route is well signposted.
