Starting Location

Cycle Dolomites, Lake Garda and Venice

Pedal through the glacial valleys of the South Tyrol, past the jagged backdrop of the Dolomites to the stunning shore of Lake Garda on our Italian cycling holiday. Along the way, tick off cultural gems, including the piazzas of fair Verona, before winding up in Venice, to explore the cobbled streets and canals. Unwind as you go, stopping to sample local wines and staying in charming villages and alpine towns.

Why we love this trip
  • Easy cycling - Take it easy, pedalling along predominantly traffic-free cycle paths and country roads through the South Tyrol.
  • Dolomites scenery - Cycle with a backdrop of rugged mountain peaks, pristine lakes and gentle alpine meadows.
  • Venice and Verona - Explore two Italian greats, soaking up the atmosphere on vibrant piazzas and visiting bucket-list sites.

General cycling information
On this tour we cycle 189 km/117.4 miles over five days (an average of 38 km/23.6 miles per day) with optional extra 24 km/14.9 miles cycling. The terrain is virtually all on tarmac and 90% of the route is on dedicated cycle paths. We encounter traffic for short sections at the end of day 6. The route is generally a gentle descent with flat sections and occasional ascents; with a few steeper inclines on days 4, 5 and 6. The Explore Leader will cycle with the group every day and luggage is transported between hotels. Maps and route notes are also provided to cycle individually or in groups. We have graded the route as Leisurely.
 
Bike information
Your included bike is a 21 gear custom made hybrid (Giant, Begamount and Velodeville are all used) and will be the correct frame size for your height. Female and male frames are allocated accordingly when booking unless you specifically request otherwise. A pannier bag is included as well as the facility to fit your own pedals or saddle if you wish to bring them. The tour leader leads the rides and luggage is transported between hotels. We provide spare parts and take care of the day to day maintenance. All you need to bring is your own helmet. Please note that our bike supplier requires that the wearing of helmets whilst cycling is compulsory.

Your e-bike (available at approximately £100) is either a Giant or Velodeville e-bike. You will be required to pay a refundable deposit upon collection of the e-bike in country. Please note these are subject to availability on a first come first served basis and the cost is subject to change. If this is a condition of your booking please mention it at time of sale.
