Saturday:  Arrive in Bolzano-Bozen
Bolzano-Bozen is a bilingual town with a unique cultural and linguistic blend, as well as a distinct Tyrolean atmosphere! Conveniently located on the train line that links Verona to Munich, Bolzano is easy to reach from all major gateways, including Milan and Venice, as well as from secondary airports serviced by low-cost airlines. Your hotel is a few minutes walk from the Stazione Ferravia/Banhof (Bolzano is a bilingual town!). .

Sunday:  Bolzano – Trento – 68 km (or 42 miles)
Following the Adige River through vineyards and orchards, you’ll ride on traffic-free routes past some remarkable sites, such as the Reinhold Messner Mountain Museum in the hilltop fortress of Firmian or the well-preserved arcades in the small town of Egna. As a self-guided cyclist, it is your prerogative to choose what you want to visit or not and how long you might wish to stay there. The ride takes you to Trento, a town with an impressive Duomo, where you will overnight.

Monday:  Trento – Grigno/Valsugana – 50 km (or 31 miles)
You’ll leave Trento by train and reach Levico Terme, where you’ll get off. From there, you’ll ride around Lake Caldonazzo and along the Brenta River all the way to Grigno/Valsugana. Along the canal you can see some of the remarkable villas that populate the region. These villas were built for the Venetian aristocracy and were handy getaways as they are accessible from Venice by boat. 

Tuesday:  Grigno/Valsugana – Bassano del Grappa – 39 km (or 24 miles)
The Brenta River will lead you to the quiet city of Bassano del Grappa, an authentic town, too often overlooked and best discovered on foot. In addition to the historic pedestrian quarter, don’t miss its Ponte-Vecchio, a covered wooden bridge originally designed by Palladio, Vicenza’s celebrated 16th century architect. 

Wednesday:  Bassano del Grappa – Treviso - 62 km (or 39 miles)
Riding away from the Brenta River and up to Asolo, the “city with 1000 horizons,” you’ll soon find yourself biking through the vineyards that produce Prosecco, the famous sparkling wine. Your destination is Treviso, a wonderful town which is often overshadowed by neighboring Vicenza and Venice, but deserving of more attention.

Thursday: Treviso – Mestre – 38 km (or 24 miles)
Another river will show you the way! You’ll follow the River Sile to Casale, from where your final destination of Mestre is but a short pedal away. Your hotel in Mestre is located across from a bus stop and nearby the train station, both of which permit you to reach Venice quickly and easily. Make the most of an afternoon in Venice, wandering along the canals, over the bridges, through the squares, and into the palaces of this captivating town.

Friday:  Venezia – Chiogga – 34 km (21 miles)
The ride to Chiogga is a memorable one as it involves a ferry crossing from the island of Malamocco to the island of Pellestrina. Chiogga is a smaller, simpler version of Venice, and well worth a visit. You will leave your bikes in Chiogga and return to your hotel in Mestre using public transportation.
