What to Expect
This tour suits both experienced cyclists and active newcomers. Most of the route is flat or gently rolling, with a few short climbs. You'll ride on bike paths and quiet secondary roads, with the option to shorten several stages by train. Urban entry points, especially in Verona and Vicenza, may require extra attention due to traffic.
A comfortable mix of flat paths and light hills. Great for riders wanting a scenic, flexible trip without too much effort.
