Cycle from the Italian Alps to the Adriatic Coast through Mountains, Valleys, and Historic Towns. Your cycling journey to the Julian Alps begins in the northeastern Dolomites, where you follow the River Drau through the scenic Drau Valley on well-marked Austrian cycle paths. The route continues into the Gail Valley, surrounded by alpine peaks, before a short detour takes you to Tarvisio, an Italian border town known for its alpine market and historic pilgrimage church. From here, ride onwards into Slovenia, where mountain landscapes give way to gentle valleys. Your final stage is a spectacular ride along the Adriatic coastline to Trieste, the elegant former Habsburg port city.
