The route
This cycling holiday has been designed especially for e-bikers. Most of the route follows cycling paths, sometimes quiet side roads. Although you always have an eye on the Dolomites, you cycle comfortably at their feet along cycle paths and quiet side roads. For sporty cyclists this route can be done also with a trekking bike. The tour is suitable for children over 14 years.
Itinerary
See the day-by-day itinerary below.
Individual arrival at the hotel in Alta Pusteria / Hochpustertal.
Hotel (example): Aparthotel Germania
Your cycling adventure begins in the Puster Valley, surrounded by the spectacular scenery of the Dolomites. The route follows the old Dolomites railway, with the Three Peaks Nature Park on one side and Fanes-Sennes-Braies Nature Park on the other. Along the way, you can enjoy magnificent views of the iconic Three Peaks.
After crossing from South Tyrol into Veneto, you reach Cortina d’Ampezzo, the historic Olympic town framed by legendary mountain summits. From here, you continue through forests, old railway tunnels and beautiful alpine scenery before arriving in Pieve di Cadore.
From Pieve di Cadore, you cycle south through landscapes typical of this part of the Dolomites. The route takes you through Longarone, a town rebuilt after the devastating Vajont disaster of 1963, when a landslide from Monte Toc caused enormous waves in the reservoir and destroyed much of the surrounding area.
You then reach the peaceful town of Belluno before continuing through woodland and small, picturesque villages. Your destination is Feltre, an atmospheric historic town where the Dolomites still provide an impressive backdrop.
Leaving the historic town of Feltre, you follow part of the ancient Via Claudia Augusta. This former Roman road once linked the Po Valley with Bavaria by crossing the Alps.
The route leads through varied and scenic countryside to Lake Caldonazzo, Trentino’s largest natural lake, known for its calm, clear water. If you prefer a shorter cycling stage, part of the journey can be completed by train. The day ends in Trento, where an attractive historic centre and the imposing Buonconsiglio Castle await.
Alternative: Approx. 70 km by bike and 25 km by train – train ticket not included
Hotel (example): Grand Hotel Trento
Leaving Trento’s lively historic centre and Buonconsiglio Castle behind, you join the cycle path running alongside the Adige River. Vineyards and orchards create a green and scenic setting for much of the ride.
At the Salorno Gorge, you cross the traditional language boundary between Italian-speaking Trentino and predominantly German-speaking South Tyrol. The route continues beside the Adige until you reach Bolzano, the cultural and commercial centre of South Tyrol.
Before beginning today’s ride, take some time to discover Bolzano, a fascinating blend of Tyrolean traditions and Mediterranean charm. You can wander beneath the arcades, relax at one of the cafés on Waltherplatz or visit the museum housing Ötzi, the famous Iceman.
You then follow the cycle path along the Isarco River, passing Trostburg Castle and Säben Abbey. Surrounded by vineyards and alpine scenery, you continue to Bressanone. After arriving, explore the historic centre and admire the town’s impressive cathedral.
From Bressanone, you cycle north along the Isarco River. The route passes several interesting landmarks, including the imposing Franzensfeste fortress, the historic Neustift Abbey and the ruins of the Mühlbacher Klause.
The cycle path then leads into the green Puster Valley, accompanied by the gently flowing Rienza River. A break in Brunico is highly recommended, as its lively pedestrian centre offers inviting cafés, shops and a pleasant alpine atmosphere. From here, you continue to Hochpustertal, where the stage ends.

When you book a trip with us, we plant a tree in Kenya.
Bering Travel partners with Growing Trees Network, which has been planting trees in Kenya since 2020 in collaboration with Seniorer uden Grænser (Seniors Without Borders). The trees are planted with small-scale local farmers in the Mount Kenya region, as well as at schools, where the fruit helps supplement students’ diets and is incorporated into their learning.
The trees are planted using the shamba method – a sustainable approach that combines reforestation with agricultural crops. This keeps the soil covered with vegetation throughout the year, helping to prevent nutrient loss and reduce erosion.
The contribution to tree planting comes directly from Bering Travel’s own earnings and is not added to the price of your trip.
This initiative is not intended as a carbon offset for travel, but as a way to make a positive contribution.
