Early farewell spin
Overview
It's time to say goodbye to the beautiful Veneto region. However, before packing your bags for the trip, take the opportunity of one last early morning spin. If you're up for more elevation gain, we suggest taking the avid option to Passo San Boldo—a six-kilometer climb known as "the road of 100 days." This nickname comes from the short time it took the Austro-Hungarian army to construct the road to supply artillery to the Piave front during the Great War. Once back in Follina, your Trek Travel host will meet you at the hotel at 11:00 AM to take your bike and say farewell before you continue your travels.
