YOUR RATING
last year's survey score
Europe's first river eco-destination awaits you here, where the Po River meets the Adriatic Sea, so close to home and yet so far from traffic, a mosaic of environments: river, sea, lagoons, rice fields, and fishing valleys, an amphibious landscape rich in natural beauty. Welcome to Veneto, welcome to the Po Delta Park for an organized weekend where you can cycle in a group. You will be welcomed by a comfortable 3-star hotel with full board and an expert local guide who has been accompanying our groups for many years. You will travel along the Via delle Valli and the Anello della Donzella and discover a territory created by the river, a land that has recently been declared a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. The bike tours are flat and suitable for everyone.

Second day
Via delle Valli by bike and boat on the Po River
Our guide takes us along a route that follows the branches of the Po di Venezia and Po di Maistra rivers until we reach Via delle Valli and Porto Levante. A truly spectacular route that runs along the embankment separating the lagoons from the fishing valleys, embellished by typical casoni( fishing huts), fishermen's huts, and the presence of flamingos and many other species of birds. In the mid-afternoon, we embark on an excursion* on the Po to enjoy the enchanting lights and atmosphere of the area in complete relaxation. Once back at the hotel , we enjoy a dinner featuring typical products from the Po Delta.
(*The type and time of the boat excursion may vary depending on weather conditions, time of year, and number of people.)
Third day
Bike tour on the Anello della Donzessa
Our organized bike weekend continues as we cycle alongthe Anello della Donzessa: the route follows the banks of the Po di Goro and Po di Gnocca rivers until it reaches Sacca degli Scardovari, the largest lagoon in the Delta, known for its mussel, clam, and oyster farms. The bike or e-bike touris suitable for everyone, with no elevation gain and a slow pace. Return to the hotel where an excellent dinner is always waiting for us.
During the 2-night weekend, the return to Porto Tolle is scheduled for around 4:30/5:00 p.m. Once at the hotel, it's time to say goodbye until the next group ride!
Fourth day (during long weekends)
During 3-night weekends, the boat trip on the second day is usually moved to the last day, depending on tour availability and weather conditions: we head towards the mouth of the Po, set off by bike, and return by boat. We cycle along the Po di Venezia to Pila, where we board a boat foran excursion to the mouth of the Po, to the point where the river meets the sea, near Scano Boa. From Ca' Tiepolo, a short bike ride takes us back to the hotel, bringing this wonderful bike and boat excursion to an end .
