Hohenwerfen Castle
The route crosses the alps, starting in the charming baroque city of Salzburg on the northern boundary of the alps and terminating in Villach, in the southern Austrian state of Carinthia.
A peaceful riverside cycle path will lead you south from Salzburg to the charming alpine town of Golling. Then it\'s on to Werfen with the impressive Hohenwerfen Castle glaring down from it\'s lofty perch. After a night in the famous winter sports resort of St. Johann-im-Pongau, you take on the undulating but incredibly scenic ride up the romantic Gastein valley to the old spa resort of Bad Gastein with a waterfall tumbling through the village centre. A 15 minute train ride transports you and your bike under the spine of the alps to the sunny Möll valley from where you follow an idyllic, gently descending route through truly awe inspiring mountain scenery to the historic pilgrims\' town of Spittal. The final stage follows the meandering Drau river to the bustling town of Villach close to the Italian and Slovenian borders.
This is a leisurely cycling holiday with, for the most part, easy daily routes of between 30 and 40 kms, however there is one longer day of 60km which includes a couple of short but steep climbs. For this reason we recommend e-bikes for most casual cyclists with an average level of fitness. You\'ll be cycling on cycle paths and quiet country lanes for the most part with a couple of sections on busier roads where this is unavoidable.

Enjoy exploring the winding alleyways of the historic city of Salzburg before following the Salzach river southwards into ever-more impressive alpine scenery. After the winter sports resort of St Johann, you'll leave the Salzach valley and transition, via some truly glorious country lanes and one tunnel, to the Gastein valley. After gently ascending through some picturesque alpine towns you'll overnight in the unique and picturesque spa resort of Badgastein.

Sights and scenes from the route between Salzburg and Venzone
A train ride under the main spine of the alps delivers you to the town of Mallnitz. From here, the route leads you gently downhill, through more dramatic alpine scenery, along a series of cycle paths and country lanes to Villach, a mountain town with a distinctly Mediterranean atmosphere on the Drau river.
The following day's ride will be a memorable one as many believe the 45 kms from Tarvisio to Venzone to be the most scenic cycle path routes in the Alps. you'll be riding through pristine alpine scenery, far from civilisation, on a perfect, traffic-free cycle path.
The final day leads you across the Friuli plains, past vineyards, sleepy villages and the famous Roman town of Aquileia to the resort of Grado on the Adriatic coast.
The route is mostly cycle path and quiet lanes with a couple of sections on slightly busier roads where this is unavoidable. You will need a very good level of fitness for this holiday as you will be covering around 100kms per day and on day one you will be ascending 1300 metres. E-bikes are an available option and will of course make the route possible for cyclists with an average level of fitness. If this sounds like an endurance test rather than a holiday then maybe consider our Salzburg to the Adriatic Cycling Holiday, which covers exactly the same route but over a more sedate six cycling days.

Starting from the historic town of Salzburg, the route leads riders along scenic cycle paths through the Austrian regions of Salzburgerland and Corinthia before crossing into Friuli in Italy and finishing in the fishing village of Grado not far from Trieste on the Adriatic Coast.

Sights and scenes from the route between Salzburg and Venzone
Recent additions and improvements to the route have made it more attractive to leisure cyclists and, considering it bisects the Alps, the going is actually pretty easy, particularly in Italy. The scenery is the star of the show of course and throughout the route you will find yourself stopping to appreciate the alpine splendour that surrounds you. For the vast majority of the route you will be cycling on dedicated cycle paths or quiet country lanes which means you can relax and drink in the views without worrying about traffic.
Besides the scenery, the different cultural and culinary flavours of each region make this a highly enjoyable and memorable route.
It's a moderate route and as such if you opt for a regular bike you'll need a good level of fitness to enjoy it as there are some climbs to contend with along the way. E-bikes are a very popular option and bring the route well within the abilities of leisure cyclists with an average level of fitness.
