The day starts with a tour information meeting and bike fitting. Then you will cycle on the bike path over the Liberty Bridge to Venice. You will take the ferry to Lido and continue your bike journey via Pellestrina, with a marvelous view over the sea, to Chioggia, a quiet little town, reminiscent of the Venetian maritime supremacy which invites you to stay and enjoy yourself in one of its typical fish restaurants. Tonight, you will stay in Chioggia/Sottomarina where you can enjoy a wide sandy beach.

The path continues along quiet roads to the foot of the Monti Berici. On these ways, you will get to the centre of Vicenza. In the old town you can still feel the spirit of Palladio, the famous architect of the Middle Ages.

From Vicenza, you will ride your bike on nice roads to Marostica, famous for its castle and stone chess board in the main square. Now, you are not far from Bassano del Grappa anymore, with its covered wooden bridge and the famous brandy, grappa. In the Poli Grappa Museum a little Grappa tasting session is prepared for you.

Villa Pace Park Hotel Bolognese
Crossing the Terraglio, a Napoleonic road, once a channel, then buried, which leads from Venice to Treviso, two things strike pleasantly the eyes, today as in times of Stendhal who speaks in his "Journey to Italy": the luxuriant countryside and the most beautiful Patrician villas on the two sides.
