Ciclovia Monaco-Venezia

The wonder on a bike!

A unique and spectacular route that winds from the Bavarian Prealps along the Dolomites, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, to Venice and its lagoon.

It can be traveled in either direction, but in both cases, it will provide you with an unforgettable experience in three countries with three different climatic zones, divided into five chapters.

The element of water will accompany you to Munich, to the “sea of Tyrol” up to the Karwendel region with its 350 springs.

Then you will pass by the jewels of Tyrol with the Swarovski Crystal Worlds and the Zillertal railway to an atmosphere where the alpine landscape and Mediterranean light create a perfect, pleasant, and charming combination. On this stretch, you can visit the towns of Sterzing, Bressanone, and Chiusa.

Next, let yourself be captivated by the beauty of the Bavarian Prealps and the majesty of the UNESCO Dolomites, from the Tre Cime di Lavaredo to the Belluno Dolomites.

Finally, the route will lead you through the hilly landscape of Veneto to Jesolo and Mestre, concluding with the artistic city on the lagoon, Venice.
