Various routes for biking

Discover the beauties of our territory by bicycle!

The ways to visit Cavallino Treporti can be many, but certainly the most suitable are those that best blend with its naturalistic vocation. To fully appreciate the breathtaking landscapes, one must hop on a bicycle or a small rowing boat and set out to explore the territory. An unmissable opportunity to delve into the most hidden and intimate spots of this timeless natural oasis and to deeply connect with its pristine nature.

The routes are characterized by passing through the diverse landscapes of the lagoon territory. On foot or by bicycle, you encounter cultivated fields, embankments immersed in the northern lagoon that run alongside fishing valleys and vegetable gardens, but also pine forests and dunes, and an open-air museum circuit, La Via Dei Forti, which boasts around 200 fortifications built between 1845 and 1920. A journey between present and past for an experience that will lead you to live tradition and innovation, genuine taste, and culture.

Thanks to the cycle paths and routes that cross the entire coastline, you can venture into the discovery of this corner of paradise. You can embark on an adventure without a specific destination, or follow the cycle tourist itineraries developed for you and your family by the Tourist Park of Cavallino-Treporti in collaboration with Venezia Opportunità, Coldiretti, and the Veneto Environmental Tourism Manifesto.

Each itinerary will reveal the peculiarities of our territory. Pedaling on a bicycle, you can admire picturesque views, linger on details, be intoxicated by scents, grasp the chromatic nuances that succeed each other throughout the day, and be enchanted by the songs of birds, the rustling of vegetation moved by the gentle breeze rising from the sea or the lagoon.
