Tour description

The Munich–Venice Cycle Route combines relaxed cycling with the thrill of crossing the Alps, guiding you from Germany through Austria and all the way to northern Italy. Following well-marked cycle paths, quiet side roads, and former railway lines, you’ll discover three countries, each with its own landscapes, traditions, and cultural highlights.

Your journey begins in the Bavarian capital, Munich, continues past crystal-clear lakes and along Tyrolean river valleys, and then enters the spectacular Dolomites, a UNESCO World Heritage site. From there, the route leads through charming Veneto towns such as Treviso before reaching the gateway to the iconic city of Venice, with its palaces, canals, and timeless atmosphere.


ROUTE CHARACTERISTICS

The Munich–Venice tour offers a beautiful mix of terrain.
The most challenging section — crossing the Alps between Innsbruck and the Brenner Pass — can easily be shortened by train or bus. From Dobbiaco to Cortina d’Ampezzo, you ride gently downhill along a scenic path built on an old railway line. The final stages of the tour are pleasantly flat, gradually descending toward the Adriatic Sea.

This route is suitable for active travellers and for children aged 16+.

Starting point: Munich (exception for Oktoberfest: from 18/09/2026 to 05/10/2026 no arrival in Munich is pos-
sible. Alternatively, the tour starts in Bad Tölz. Train tickets to get to the starting point in Munich are included in the tour price during this time)

The electric bikes made the trip a dream and gave us more time to see sites. When we had a couple of issues on the road they sent somebody on a taxi to deliver parts. The accommodations were wonderful, the direct...

Our party of four enjoyed ourselves immensely riding the standard Prague-to-Dresden route in reverse, found the hotels to be a nice balance of convenience and comfort, and had zero issues with the bikes. We have used the RidewithGPS app before and found it to be a great asset on this ride too. We highly recommend bike tours.com and their in-country affiliates. William A.

The back roads we cycled on were generally quiet with very few motorized vehicles, although cycling through a few towns was a little sketchier. The cycling itself was easy to moderate, averaging just over 60km/day with an average elevation of just over 300...
