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 • Opt to bike alongside the dreamy blue Zellersee or the tiny reed-lined Pillersee lakes en route to Maria Alm • Unwind in our spa retreat with views of the Hochkönig (High King) mountain • Wander the village streets of Maria Alm in search of a cozy spot for dinner on your own.

Journey south to the Austrian Dolomites, where a distinct climate and geology make for fertile farmland and dramatic stone monoliths • Slip into a slower pace on a valley ride through the relaxing pastoral scenery of the Gailtal Alps • Cycle into romantic Lienz, where you have the afternoon off to explore cobblestoned alleyways • Join a local distiller for a schnapps tasting • Take a soak in the Old World pool and spa complex of our grand hotel, facing a riverside terrace.

Cross the border into Italy • 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.
