Salgareda Municipality and Bike Tribe Mtb Team, a mountain bike sport association have set up a biking itinerary linking Treviso and Venice Provinces . Town Municipalities along the Piave river that have adhered to this initiative can now offer a beautiful trail arriving to the sea shores.

On leaving our Relais, one has to cross the provincial road and start the intinerary. The entire trail runs along the river bank till Cortellazzo , nearby Jesolo, where the Piave river flows into the Adriatic. With the only exception of few natural deviations, the entire itinerary follows the river course.

A day spent biking along the Piave is a true return to nature , where in a quiet surrounding you will only meet joggers or fellow bikers . A mountain bike ride will take about 2 hours (35 kilometers or 22 miles) and those less inclined to such distances can reach S. Donà di Piave about 17 kilometers
(11 miles) away.

The entire itinerary is signalled according to IMBA (International Mountain Bicycling Association), the largest and best known association for setting up and maintaining Mountain bike trails in the world. BIKE TRIBE MTB TEAM is an associate to IMBA.,
