Itinerary description
The Alpe-Adria is one of several, perhaps a dozen, tourist cycling routes in Europe that enjoy the best reputation among cycling tourists. This attractive, trans-Alpine bike route has an official length of 415 kilometers, runs through two countries and three Alpine regions: in Austria through Salzburger Land and Carinthia and the Friuli-Venezia Giulia in Italy. The Alpe-Adria begins in the medieval old town of Salzburg, leads through, among others, Bischofshofen, known for its winter ski jumping competitions, takes a peek at Bad Gastein, hanging on the cliffs, passes through a tunnel under the High Tauern - the highest range of the Austrian Alps and then through picturesque Carinthia reaches the well-known Villach, where Austria's popular cycling routes intersect. Soon after, it crosses the Austrian-Italian border and, along the edge of the Julian Alps, on former railway cycling paths and in an increasingly Mediterranean atmosphere, through Gemona del Friuli and Udine, runs all the way to Grado, on the warm waters of the Adriatic.

The post railway part of the Alpe-Adria in Italy is probably the best section of cycling infrastructure in Europe.
