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-
