Begin your trip in baroque Salzburg before traveling to the Saalach River Valley a stone's throw from the German border • Bike alongside rushing waters, keeping your eyes peeled for the towering Kitzsteinhorn peeking through the trees overhead • Sit down to a family-style tavern lunch • A long and delicious downhill leads you into the dreamy resort town of Maria Alm • Spend the night in our spa retreat with views of the Hochkönig (High King) mountain. 

Shift gears with a morning hike to the meadow of Postalm and its sweeping views • Journey by bus over the Hochalpenstrasse (High Alpine Road), Austria’s scenic route linking the Northern Alps to the Southern Alps • Pedal through a rarified high-mountain world watched over by the bell-shaped Grossglockner peak • Cycle into romantic Lienz, where you have the evening off to explore cobblestoned alleyways • Slip into a slower pace on a valley ride through the relaxing pastoral scenery of the Gailtaler Alps • Check out our hotel's many saunas.

Cross the border into Italy and the dramatic Dolomites • Gleaming meadows and limestone towers await around every turn • Pass villages festooned with laundry, where espresso-sipping locals watch the world go by from shutter-framed windows • Ride along the car-free Via delle Dolomiti, a former WWI train line turned cycling path • Sit down to inventive Italian cuisine in a converted train depot • Settle into our romantic villa-hotel tucked into a hill town in the home region of Prosecco • Spin through foothills adorned with vineyards and stop at a wine cellar to see where the local bubbles are bottled • Opt to take one last morning spin, or spend your final morning exploring the village of Asolo on foot and climbing to its hilltop castle.
