Quick ride by bicycle from Arnoldstein to Tarvisio

Get ready for a scenic ride as you set out from the charming Austrian town of Arnoldstein, nestled at the tri-border point where Austria, Italy, and Slovenia meet. The route rolls mostly along smooth cycleways (about two-thirds of the trip!) with some stretches on quiet country roads—perfect for soaking in the Alpine landscape without too much traffic.

You’ll climb a bit over 500 meters, but the sweeping mountain views and fresh air are totally worth the effort. The ride is just under 19 km, so you’ll have time to stop for photos or a quick picnic along the way.

Your destination is Tarvisio, a vibrant Italian town famous for its blend of Austrian and Italian cultures. Once you arrive, treat yourself to some authentic gelato or stroll through Tarvisio’s lively market streets. Whether you’re in it for the ride or the scenery (or both!), this cross-border trip is a stunning way to connect Austria and Italy by bike.
