- The Alpe Adria cycle path, which is completely car-free and mostly flat, is a real hit. Most of the route follows the old railway line from Tarvisio to Venzone with great views.
- Starting the tour in Mallnitz offers significant advantages: hardly any climbs; various contrasts as you cycle from the ‘rugged mountain village’ in the national park to the graceful Veneto; few traffic jams on the outward and return journeys.
