Description

Day 1: Villach

Individual arrival in Villach. Parking available near the hotel.

Day 2: Villach – Malborghetto (50 km)

Today you will leave Villach behind and head towards Malborghetto. Cycling through breathtaking scenery, imposing mountains, and green valleys, you will reach Malborghetto, which welcomes you with its history, art, and natural beauty. In Malborghetto, there are numerous points of historical-artistic and naturalistic interest. Among the must-see attractions, we recommend the Church of the Holy Trinity, recognizable by its square-based bell tower ending in an octagonal spire, inside which are kept altarpieces depicting the Trinity and a Madonna with Child venerated by saints Charles Borromeo and Ambrose.

Day 3: Malborghetto - Udine (79 km)

After a hearty breakfast, you will head towards Udine. This city, influenced in the past by the grandeur of Venice, will welcome you with its tranquil and relaxing atmosphere. You can enjoy a coffee in the square and stroll through the streets of the center, admiring the masterpieces of Gothic and Renaissance art. It will be an extraordinary day, full of emotions!

Day 4: Udine – Grado (55 km)

Accompanied by the Scirocco wind, today you will cross characteristic landscapes until you reach Grado, a city once dedicated to fishing that today is a well-known Adriatic seaside resort. Along the way, you can admire the city of Palmanova, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, as well as the extensive sites of the ancient city of Aquileia, waiting for your visit.

Day 5: Grado

After breakfast, end of services and individual departure.

🙋 Frequently asked questions

Can I bring my own bike?
Of course! You can participate in any tour with your own bicycle or rent one. However, we recommend renting because not all spare parts are the same, and only with our bikes can we guarantee the best mechanical assistance.
What kind of assistance will I have during the trip?
You will always have an emergency phone number to refer to. In self-guided trips, you should be able to perform minor repairs, like replacing a tube in case of a puncture, or fixing a dropped chain, but you can always count on local assistance for more serious breakdowns.
How do I know if a tour is within my capabilities?
We classify tours on a scale from 1 to 5 based on length, elevation, and complexity of the itinerary, but if you have doubts, contact us and we will help you find the most suitable journey for you.
What is the cost of renting bicycles?
The rental cost varies depending on the bicycle model and the duration of the tour. For some tours, we offer the possibility to rent different types of bicycles. During the purchase process for each route, you will be asked to indicate your preferred bike type and the corresponding price will be shown, so you can choose freely and without surprises.
Are rented bikes equipped with accessories like lights or bags?
Yes, rented bicycles are equipped with all necessary accessories to comply with road traffic regulations (lights, bell, etc.). A lock, repair kit, and a bag to carry everything you need for a day in the saddle are always included in the rental. Additionally, we offer the option to request extra accessories based on your needs.
