Tip no. 1: Single tracks and flow trail in the Nassfeld region
If you spend your holidays in the Nassfeld-Pressegger See region, infinite sporty joys are practically waiting right on your doorstep. Adrenaline-fuelled downhill thrills await you on the various single tracks and on the new flow trail in the Bike World. Add to that all the scenic routes and leisurely family tours. And what you get is a surprisingly diverse holiday on the sunny side of the Alps filled with unique bike experiences between mountains and lakes.
Tip no. 2: A day tour along the Alpe-Adria cycle route
A recommendation from the pros: During a stay in the Gailtal and Gitschtal Valley, you should visit the Alpe-Adria cycle route at least once! To get there, take the bike bus to the Austrian-Italian border in Thörl-Maglern! From there, you’ll continue for about 65 kilometres on your two-wheeler. The trail leads you through Val Canale all the way to the medieval town of Venzone. Explore the so-called “lavender city” with its unique town walls before taking the bike bus back to Gailtal Valley!
You can’t get enough? Very ambitious cyclists can just keep pushing the pedals until they get to Grado and the Adriatic Sea.
