WHAT IS THE "CICLOVIA ALPE ADRIA CYCLE TRAIL"?

​

The Ciclovia Alpe Adria Cycle Trail is a stunning cycling route spanning 410 kilometers. The fully marked route begins in Salzburg, Austria—Mozart’s birthplace—and winds through the Friuli Venezia Giulia region in Italy, ending in Grado, a charming historic port city and island resort in the Adriatic Sea.

​

THE FINAL THREE STAGES THROUGH FRIULI

The route in Friuli is divided into six stages, that take you through the enchanting landscapes of Friuli Venezia Giulia. Along the way, you’ll find plenty of hotels and guesthouses to rest and recharge.

If you need a break from cycling, buses and trains are conveniently located near the trail, and for a small fee, you can bring your bike along. Since the cycle path from the Alps to the Adriatic Sea is almost always downhill or flat, it makes it suitable for most cyclists.

​

FROM THE MOUNTAINS TO THE SEA

After entering Italy via Tarvisio, the trail passes through picturesque towns and cities such as Venzone, Gemona, Udine, Palmanova, and Aquileia before reaching the island Grado in the Adriatic Sea. It’s a fascinating journey that transitions from mountain landscapes to the sea, with delightful villages, natural landmarks, cultural treasures, and breathtaking scenery accompanying cyclists along the way.
