Cycling holidays across the Alps to the Mediterranean.
A crossing of the Alps is a special kind of cycling experience, as it combines the beauty of the mountains with the Mediterranean flair of the Adriatic Sea. There are two routes to choose from.
Salzburg-Grado: You start in Austria's famous Mozart city. Wonderful cycle paths lead you along the Salzach to the wildly romantic Gastein Valley and the Hohe Tauern National Park. Surrounded by impressive high mountain scenery, you cycle in Carinthia on the Drau cycle path, which has been awarded 4 stars by the ADFC (General German Bicycle Club). In Italy, too, the cycle path is well developed and leads through the natural beauty of the Friulian Alps to Udine and on to Grado to the Gulf of Venice.
Dolomites-Adriatic Sea: The starting point of this cycling tour is Alta Pusteria in Austria. You follow the Drava cycle path in front of the impressive mountain scenery of the Sesto Dolomites and the Gailtal Alps. Look forward to Slovenia. The cycle path takes you along an old railway line through an idyllic, partly untouched natural landscape. In Italy, you cycle through small, fine wine-growing areas to the coast, whose white cliffs rise vertically above the sea, all the way to Trieste.
