For your 8-day tour from Meran to Mainland Venice

The travel documents and rental bikes (if booked) are ready for you at the hotel.

Along the cycle path via Lana and through numerous orchards and vineyards in the area of the South Tyrolean Wine Route to Bolzano with its arcades and the "Ötzi" museum. From here you cycle via Appiano and Lake Caldaro to the charming wine village of Ora.

On the Etsch cycle trail it is easy to cycle to the impressive Trento. The route continues via the old Tyrolean border town of Rovereto to Mori. From here the tour heads west towards Lake Garda. In Mori, you will taste the famous pistachio ice cream at the Gelateria Bologna. After a short ascent at the small Passo S. Giovanni (150 m), the descent to the lake follows to Torbole or Riva.

On the impressive Via Ponale, you cycle up to Lake Ledro. Follow the valley of the same name to the next picturesque alpine lake. Lake Idro is now your companion for a while. Its excellent water quality and magnificent mountain panorama will delight you. On the bike path through the Val Sabbia, you will then continue slightly downhill until the mighty Lake Garda appears in front of you again. In Salò, take a leisurely stroll along the flower-filled promenade and treat yourself to a creamy gelato.

Gently hilly, this cycling stage leads you a little into the hinterland. With Lugana, Chiaretto and Groppello, the typical and historic wines of Lake Garda are pressed here. From Desenzano it's partly flat, partly slightly hilly to Verona, a city full of sights with festival arena, House of Juliet, and the old city wall.

First flat and then through the hills of the "Monti Berici," the excursion area of Vicenza, with beautiful views over the city. In the old town of Vicenza, you can still feel the spirit of Palladio, the famous architect of the Middle Ages.

Numerous Venetian villas are located on the exit of Vicenza, such as Villa Rotonda. Along the Bacchiglione, the road leads to Abano Terme, one of Italy's famous spas. From here it is not far to Padua, the city of St. Anthony and the scholars. Mostly driven by the light wind, you cycle leisurely towards the sea. The landscape is characterized by meadows and fields. The stage destination is on the mainland off Venice with excellent bus connections to the lagoon city. At the end of the trip, a small grappa tasting awaits you not far from St. Mark's Square!

Frequently asked
questions

Can I go on a sporty bike tour with an e-bike?

Sporty tour + e-bike = more momentum and energy

You think adventure, calf workouts and e-bikes are mutually exclusive? Far from it, we say! Cycling with electric power can open up whole new worlds of cycling.

Concept

For cycling holiday connoisseurs who already appreciate the advantages of e-bikes and who would like to cover longer distances at a brisk pace, the combination of an e-bike & a sporty cycling tour offers a new adventure in the form of longer distances and more challenging terrain.

Even those who are not (yet) fit enough but are still craving a sporty PEDALO bike tour should go for it - and treat themselves to an e-bike for support. With a gentle push, it gets you right into the thick of it all!

Or are you travelling as a couple and your partner is always ahead of you? With an e-bike, you will be able to keep up easily.

What info material will I receive for my bike tour?

Your travel documents usually include general travel information, a hotel list, a road book and/or detailed maps as well as a textual description of the route; you will also get luggage tags and possibly also vouchers and/or information material on the various sightseeing attractions. The exact contents of the information package depend on the booked trip and its included services.

The documents will be sent to you approx. two to three weeks before the start of your tour. Depending on the trip, you may receive them partly in digital form and partly by post – or you will receive the hotel list and general travel information in advance by e-mail, and the remaining documents along with the maps on site at your starting hotel.

Please note that the travel documents are issued exclusively for PEDALO guests and are therefore not available without a booking.

How does the luggage transport work?

The transport of your luggage from hotel to hotel is included as part of the basic service package for all staged tours and round trips in the PEDALO programme. You simply leave your luggage out for our courier in the morning before you set off on your cycling stage. When you arrive at your next accommodation in the late afternoon or early evening, it will be there waiting for you.

Just in case, we recommend always packing a change of clothes in your saddle bag, especially for short stages which you may cover more quickly than the luggage driver.

Depending on how the logistics are organised on site, there may be restrictions on the maximum weight and/or number of pieces of luggage. You will receive more detailed information on this with the travel documents well before the start of your trip.

Should I take out travel insurance?

Travel insurance is not included in our prices. You can decide whether to get a quote elsewhere or simply book your travel insurance online at pedalo.com/en/service/travel-insurance. In any case, we recommend that you take out travel cancellation insurance!

Please note that for last-minute bookings (less than 30 days before the start of the trip), insurance cover can only be taken out within 3 days of booking.
