- Passing orchards and vineyards: As you cycle to Cavour, the mountain ‘Mon Viso’ is always in view. And surrounded by orchards and vineyards is the curious castle ‘Rocca’.
- Crossing the Alps: On day six you will reach the sea via the Bormida Valley to the Riviera of Flowers, Sanremo. The summit of the Colle Scravaion offers a spectacular view of the Ligurian Sea.

- The church tower in the Lake Resia: Around 160 houses once stood on the site, which was flooded in the 1950s to create a reservoir. Today, the church tower of St. Katharina rising out of the water is a reminder of the village.
- Strolling through Laubengasse in Bolzano: Soak up the hustle and bustle of Bolzano's most famous street. Why not order a cappuccino in one of the numerous cafés and really live the Italian "dolcé vita".
- Boat trip across Lake Garda: One of the absolute highlights of the tour is the Lake Garda crossing by boat. Enjoy not only the fresh breeze and the beauty of the lake, but also the architecture on the shore.

- The charm of South Tyrol: A walk through Merano or Bolzano, the fragrant vineyards and apple orchards or the picturesque valleys surrounded by castles and palaces - this region is always worth a trip. When you visit, don't miss out on the culinary delicacies such as Brettljause, Schlutzkrapfen and apple strudel.
- The enchanting Verona: The setting of the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet still shapes the city today - let yourself be inspired by it and visit the world-famous Juliet's balcony. Verona is also home to numerous sights, from the impressive arena to the pretty Piazza delle Erbe.
- The lagoon city of Venice: Hardly anyone can resist the charm of Venice, the buildings, canals, bridges and squares are just too beautiful. St. Mark's Square and the Rialto Bridge are of course a must-see. But don't miss the opportunity to wander through the small alleys, drink a spritz in an inconspicuous piazza and have an espresso in a typical café bar.

Bolzano - Venice 8/7
1 Review by TourRadar travelers“Luggage delivery was great, but the ride was too long in the same countryside which became monotonous.”
Joanna, traveled in July 2024
- Boat trip on Lake Garda: Enjoy the rolling waves and the pleasant sea breeze on board. From Riva you can kick pack and relax. You sail across Lake Garda to Desenzano or Sirmione, from where the next leg of the tour will take you to Verona.
- Casa di Giulietta: So much is clear: Romeo and Juliet are probably the best-known lovers in literature. In Verona you can experience the charming old town with its winding streets and be inspired by Shakespeare’s play directly at the ‘Casa di Giulietta’.
- Venice: If you had to describe the lagoon city in three words, they would be: beauty, charm, history. What awaits you in the floating city? St Mark’s Basilica, the Rialto Bridge, the Doge’s Palace and much more!

- Hike through the "orchard" of South Tyrol: On the stage from Schluderns to Schlanders, you immerse yourself in the extensive fruit orchards of the region. This spectacle enchants almost all year round - but especially in spring when it blooms and in late summer and autumn when it's time to harvest.
- Magnificent apple orchards by the path side: Here it is important to enjoy it with all your senses, because the largest apple-growing area in Europe is not only a visual highlight, but also the smell is incredible!
- Hiking high above the Vinschgau with a view of the snow-covered Ortler massif: Whether the Sonnensteig or the Rablander Waalweg - the high-altitude hikes in the Vinschgau are twice as pleasant and with great views due to the many hours of sunshine.

- Hiking on historic paths : In northern Italy, the Via Augusta leads through vineyards and orchards, but often also along so-called “Waalwege” (water canal paths). The old irrigation systems only exist in this form in South Tyrol.
- Reschen Pass and mystical Reschensee : One of the most photographed motifs can be found on the first days of your hiking holiday: the sunken church in the Reschensee.
- Mild climate and snow-capped mountain peaks : While you hike the Via Augusta in the sunshine, you can also enjoy spectacular mountain views of the snow-capped Ortler massif.
