Bike tour from Munich to Venice – through 3 countries

Munich to Venice on your own – a fantastic bike trip through three countries

Three countries, one cycling trip – your next adventure!

There is no doubt that experiencing multiple countries on one and the same cycling trip is popular!
On this unique tour, you cycle through three countries – Germany, Austria, and Italy – in scenic surroundings. Each country offers its own culture, its own cuisine, and distinctive landscapes, giving you new impressions with every pedal stroke.

The tour starts in the German region of Bavaria, where you cycle along lakes and follow rivers through Tyrol's valleys. Along the way, you have the mighty mountains of the Dolomites as a backdrop and make a stop in beautiful Treviso, before the trip rounds off in Venice – where canals and palaces provide a conclusion that truly tops the whole experience.

You can look forward to a comfortable cycling trip where your luggage is transported from hotel to hotel – in other words, you cycle without extra weight and can enjoy every pedal stroke.
Crossing the Alps from Germany, cycling through Austria, and on to Italy offers a wonderful combination of cycle touring and true adventure!

Quick facts about the trip

This is a trip with highly varied terrain, offering everything from mountain passes to easy-to-cycle stretches. The most demanding stages over the Alps, such as Innsbruck – Brenner, can be shortened by taking the train, giving you the flexibility to adapt the trip as needed.

The stretch from Toblach to Cortina d’Ampezzo runs along a beautiful and easy-to-cycle route following the old railway line "Dolomites Railway". A unique experience in the Dolomites.
Along the way, you cycle through picturesque villages, lush valleys, and magnificent nature, providing a rich combination of cultural and natural experiences.
The last two days are mostly downhill and flat towards the sea – you end the trip with a peaceful arrival in spectacular Venice.

In total, the trip is approx. 525–545 km, spread over 9 days / 8 nights.
