Short break, cycle from the Dolomites to Venice

On the route of the old Dolomites railway to Venice

Difficulty Level:
Duration: 5 days
Distance: 235 - 240 km
Landscape:

From the north east of the Dolomites, you cycle through the valley Höhlensteintal passing by the famous Drei Zinnen (Three Peaks), and onto the Olympic town of Cortina d’Ampezzo. Following the old railway track you continue to Pieve di Cadore, the birth town of Tizian. On the way to Conegliano you will pass different little typical Italian villages. From here you slowly reach the lowlands. Following the river Sile, you finally reach Venice mainland/Mestre – entrance to the lagoon city Venice.

The cycling tour to Venice is a nice tour. The first two days you mainly follow the old Dolomites railway track. From the third day, the tour encounters slight ascents and descents on quite side roads through idyllic landscape and typical Italian villages until reaching the plains on the last day.
