Gailtal cycle path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

From here you don't feel like driving in Germany or Austria anymore. You can tell by the smell, the plants, the stones - the south is near. :)

Highlight • Cycleway

A superb cycle path along a former railway line, an absolute experience. From Tarvisio onward, it gets even better. More info: alpe-adria-radweg.com/mobile/de

Very nice cycle path near Tarvisio, old railway line, now Alpe-Adria cycle path.
A perfect path, most beautifully in the direction of Tarvisio, Pontebba and almost as far as Venzone.

August 25, 2024,Alpe-Adria-Radweg 🚴 Von Villach nach Tarvisio

Our stage 1️⃣ on the Alpe-Adria cycle path from Villach to Tarvisio:

We start in Villach in Carinthia. Highlights are the Arnoldstein monastery ruins with a mountain view, the border crossing into Italy, the wonderful mountain panorama near Coccau and our arrival in the mountain village of Tarvisio.

September 23, 2024,VIVE-2024-01 Villach - Tarvisio

First day from Villach to Venice - along the Gail is nice but Tarvisio is not a revelation at first glance. Let's see what the perspective of a pedestrian changes. After a walk, Tarvisio looks a bit friendlier - main square with fountain but many restaurants are closed on Mondays. A bit like a ski resort in the off-season....

June 25, 2026,🇮🇹 Alpe Adria mit Villach und Salzburg 🇦🇹

After just one Italian night, we wave briefly into Slovenia at the Dreiländereck this morning and are in Carinthia after just a few small climbs. We are riding on the well-known Alpe Adria Cycle Path and enjoy the mountain views as well as the colorful paddle boats on the wild Gail.
And another nice komoot anecdote: Shortly before Villach, we …

July 21, 2023,1.5. : 5. Etappe: Alpe-Adria Radweg : Villach - Tarvis (42,8km)

This stage had a lot to offer again. We left Villach an der Drau. It went through fields and fields. From time to time the Autobahn crossed our path. Soon the route went along the Gail. The pine forest and the buildings reminded us strongly of Italy. Today's tour was characterized by long, gentle climbs. This becomes very clear on …

We arrived in Bella Italia. Today it wasn't as hot as the last few days, Villach had a light rain. Optimal weather, the rain was rather refreshing because it wasn't that bad. The first part was the most beautiful in terms of scenery and when we arrived in Italy it was just as nice. It went up and down the …

June 26, 2025,Tag 6: Von Villach nach Tarvisio ! 🚴‍♂️

Today, our first destination was the city center of Villach. After a pleasant stroll through the city, it was time to climb steadily along the Gail River. We took a longer break in Arnoldstein. The heat forced us to!

Then we crossed the border into Italy. We continued uphill through a beautiful mountain landscape to Tarvisio.
