Alpe Adria Cycle Path II for families, Villach – Grado
From Villach to Grado.

- Self-guided Tour
Arrival in Villach
The quiet of the mountains, the gentle shores of crystal-clear lakes, pure nature situated in the heart of Carinthia, Villach reflects this entire diversity.
Hotel (example): City Hotel Villach
Initially you proceed for a bit along the river Drau. However soon the cycle path leads you along the river Gail towards Italy. „Bye Austria – Ciao Italia“ they then say at the border. In Tarvisio you will even be greeted in three different languages. Since Austrians, Slovenes and Italians have lived together here for centuries.
Hotel (example): Hotel Haberl
In Italy too the cycle path is very well designed and so you leisurely cycle along a former railway line downhill through the Kanaltal-valley and marvel from your bike at the beauty of the Friulian Alpine region. From Pontebba the train takes you to Udine (boarding of the train at a later stage is also possible). Once you arrive in town you can experience the „dolce vita“ over an Italian Gelato enjoyed at the „Piazza“ or during a stroll through the alleyways.
Hotel (example): Hotel CLocchiatti Next
After a many impressions gained from the large town you leave Udine along the ancient Roman road „Via Claudia Augusta“ southward. In the expansive Friulian scenery you cycle through little villages characteristic for the region until the ancient star-shaped fortress town of Palmanova featuring the giant square ‚Piazza Grande‘.
Hotel (example): Roma
The warm breeze of the Scirocco caresses your face! You proceed through expansive reed scenery and along little water canals towards the Gulf of Venice. In the Roman town of Aquileia, the so-called ‚Second Rome‘, we highly recommend you plan a stop, before reaching the Finish of this holiday. One of the most popular resorts on the Adriatic Sea, the historic little fishing town Grado. The vast sandy beach will not only delight your children.
Hotel (example): Hotel Rialto
The leisurely cycling excursion leads you through the lagoon of Grado. A multitude of canals and streams marbles this unique landscape. The lush flora and fauna here is dipped into a very special light and changes its colour several times over one day. Definitely a beautiful finale of a marvellous cycle holiday.
