Thank you very much SC me right out perfect okay um the My be the beautiful things of the travisa area are they are going to be on the next video but before I want to explain where we are okay because Juliano was impressive with images but I prefer to to go this and
Then show you um we start from this point which is called Victor veto yeah and more or less I told it before but Victor veto it’s the main city and it’s important for us because uh it’s on the p river which was as Juliano said the most important river on the first World
War uh then you go down from there for more or less 40 to 50 kilometers and you can either go straight and then arrive in triso or pass through this area which is the Montel area in which uh the most adventurous of the people can just try down ill and everything else um
Correlated because we have brand new uh downhill installations which is work on and it’s a brand new for us uh then you follow the bike path which is well signaled and it’s well mapped which is a really important thing because especially if you talk with the northern tourists uh there was one thing
That were lamented which was that the bike paths B cycle Paths of our area were new and then not fully uh singulated no you can be sure you can be really really uh happy and just drive and go with the with relax then you arrive in triso which is called Little
Venice due to its canals and uh small Bridges and which it was a Venetian City therefore you have a little bit of Venice from triso you can choose your route and go by two routes bike paths you can go this one follow the C river
Which is a river a really nice River and relaxing River you’re going to see it on my next video and uh it’s going to be a relaxed one after you’ve done so much in the dolomites and so much of Dil you’re going to enjoy a quiet River in the
Green just until you arrive in or Venice if you follow this bike path you you leave the the bikes in the deposit and you take the train and you go in Venice because you can’t ride a bike in Venice that’s h no possible and you take another the other one which is called
The Green Way of the C River and you go to the beaches you arrive in Yo and from yo you have uh all the 20 to 30 kilometers of beaches all with cycle parts so you can you can also change region and go to Lano sa which is
Another one region wow um yes it’s uh the so if I understand correctly what you were saying sorry if I interrupt just to have a clear idea uh after you did the whole downhill portion then the biking becomes easier in terms of you know absolutely uh you can also ride a
Regular bike a regular tracking bike because our part of the bike the cycle paths is uh all asphalt mainly mainly and the ebikes are only to enjoy without doing too much too much efforts so it’s they are bike pass for everybody i’ say um so if it’s possible just to end this

Because I think that we can uh you can understand the as better um can I take this screen so you’re going to here you are okay okay so this is the CLA gusta so Juliano was talking to you that uh about Mel this beautiful castle which is
Amazing because uh every week more or less they have a group of people that uh actually do dinner and which are always full and you can decide which kind of dinner you want there was a Harry Potter one which is amazing there was a medieval one which was amazing yeah know
It’s really it’s really picturesque and you see CLA this one I’m going to make a different tour and I’m going to bring you in the other part of Veno so from tro instead of going to this area you go down and you go to Verona which everybody knows Romeo and Juliet
The arena it’s it goes without saying what is Verona so from this cloudia you can see uh the gal Lake you can go down to to Verona you can stay in this part here and also change region also again and arrive in this point here it’s
Called oia which is a small City in the Emilia Romana region sorry the map is a little bit outdated and it’s slow oia is really important because uh starting 200 I think 17 it uh was completed a cycle path that from osia brings us to triso again so
Here we are again in the in our area so In This Moment you’ve done along the lake g so if some some bited there you’ve seen Opera at the arena and you cycle pass down on theia then you take the osia triso oia which is this one and
Brings you to triso passing through uh beautiful Parts it’s around uh 70 kilometers really slow so everything around triso is slow and passing through Castle Franco which is a walled City and is amazing and from Franco you can go up to bound graa where actually you are
Going to have graa and uh in triso you are arriving through beautiful uh National Park um Regional Park which is the C River Park and this is what you’re going to see you’re going to be all around uh water in the green so also in the heated Days of our summers you are
Protected and uh like this and also with your bikes that don’t need to be ebikes but better because you arrive really quick in triso and you have also um AI a natural AI which is called chva and you you see also rare birds and it’s here you arrive
In triso you leave your bike and as before you stay in triso and you drink and or you can go to Venice um I didn’t talk about this part here because it was the same it again passed through valad which is unfortunately I tried to put on a video but it was too
Much and I hope you’re going to see it because they told me it was possible which is or regarding the prco area and what those people are trying to do to also um help you to understand the territory and what you can have you can
Offer so um I think it’s okay for me I’m going to yeah no no I mean I want to say I’m sorry that the audio came in and out but I had a couple of comments about you these two major beautiful tour I don’t
If jul is still with you or he had to go because I know he was pressed by time but but I I I want to say really what is incredible is the enormous amount of things that you sort of were able to come you know to to give us uh just a
Little Glimpse in just about 20 minutes and what it really seemed like you know the first portion of of the tours both of them you know of course are characterized by you know the mountain portion of it so this beautiful landscape small villages connected to the locals then when you comeing down to
The valley you connect more s of the art scene sort of this extraordinar beautiful city and the valley and of course the wine thing so it really is a mindboggling sort of uh treat to the region of V which I think really uh is in a sense to really summarize a lot of
The things that are extraordinary about this land both from the nature standpoint so the traditional standpoint but also of course the culture and so the Excellence on the architecture and the art it really is remarkable and as we said at the very beginning of this of these presentations it really is one
Endorsement on why you should bike because you can get that close uh only probably only by biking just because you’re you’re naturally connected to all the locals even helping you when you’re exhausted go ahead very very important is that you can drink beer and prco in few kilometers for a USA perfect
Put which is uh pork Smith elaboration of porks Smith in just 20 kilometers um amazing amazing I wanted to ask to the both of you so a technical question Julian or Julia I don’t know who wants to answer especially when you were talking Juliana at the very
Beginning of the the presentation you I saw you divid in different section and Stage you know what ideally I think you can do in a day so when when that what that means what kind of mileage we talking about how many hours you thinking somebody should physically stay
On a bike to be able to do that four six hours a day you can uh go by bike and uh the second product is more difficult than mon Munich Venice because the second product is a particular type of a an ancient path of the romance you can
Go up go down go up go down continuously and then in the mun you can go go down from Chima Bank pass go down to Venice ever got got perfect while if I understand correctly not to put it down the second portion of both tours are
Just for the nature of the of sort of the orographic for the fact that it’s easier technically know there’s less climbing in the second part of one of that Julia handles am I correct my part is uh naturally easier if even uh except if you want to uh to go
To the mountain bike area so but it’s a choice uh the main one it’s relaxed it’s just really and one thing we both forgot to forgot we didn’t mention because we were waiting for the last last panelist which had an accident so couldn’t be fear is that uh hope was not on a
Bike Hope was not on the as you said I’m the president of a business Network for the cycle tourism and uh mine is specific in triso therefore my focus on the triso area julianos uh have also a couple of bike networks bike business networ Network and every province in in Veno has their
Specific uh bike Network this was created so uh you can have with just one call everything you need from the bikes from the bikes to the hotels to lodging which is specifically specifically bike hotels lodging to the van if you’re tired and your guests your clients are tired we
Pick them up to everything along the road so uh Juliano pass Juliano’s bike Network passed the people I mean the guest to us we take them from Victoria or wherever it is and we bring them to Venice Venice they have our colle we do the same and this is really important
Because you have only one reference for everything and we guarantee for everything and it’s just one person you have to talk to and that makes a difference no no I I agree in fact I think I think it’s incredible because the logistical challenges especially you know to really manage your client across
Across the pond to bring it in the area that you don’t know completely and have the support of of that this kind of networks it’s essential because really makes a difference because you can really explain to your client what it is that is going to be facing and also you
Know exactly that you’re going to have the right assistance and you know exactly what you’re embarking I think it’s it’s phenomenal so what you were saying Julia and Juliano they people can connect with you if they interest in exploring the chance to actually create packages or also sell packages because
You will be able to connect with the right F operators the or the the people that handle uh sort of locally all those so logistical I may I’m going to show you just what’s my network and which basically is the copycat for all the networks in the region so I’m going to I
Have the video perfect so we’re going to have the next video got it more videos so um the connection okay cycling in the Venice Garden that’s our name and it’s and you can also buy from the S you can buy the packages so the routes you
See all for example oia which was the one I was talking before yeah like this our mani is where you can stay and uh was just inaugurated a hub in close to the traviso airport from which you can rent the bike rent the shoes rent the the dressings eat and have all the
Informations and then go this is triso for you so you have you have the routes you have the the packages already prepared so if you want to see some examples cycling in the venis garden.com perfect awesome this is awesome and yes go ahead sorry sorry I
Interrupt no no I’m just trying to close the okay yes I’m there that’s fantastic these are yeah these I think these are really helpful because as as I think the attachment to that is the the ni number of people that are joining us today because it wasn’t just the Curiosity for
Veno but there’s a lot of growing number of Enthusiast in terms of biking running that kind of activity in the United States and so these people I know they love when they travel to continue their passion and and it seems that this is the exact you know the paradise where
Also because we haven’t mentioned yet maybe you did because I couldn’t hear but I I know also the manufacturing of biking is not foreign to you inventor am I right Juliano yes yes manufacturer is very very important for us uh for the equipment and for the bike
Because I have the equipment with the Castell uh the brand cell and Julia has the the bike with pinarello and we have the connect the perfect connection for a cyclist so you can buy in our Outlet everything you can you can use for the B tourism okay as you can
Just come with an empty suitcase an empty suitcase and a credit card that’s all you need as you can we are friends so triso and belluno 60 kilometers apart we are working together for this so it’s a strange Italian thing but yeah we are working together for you so that’s
That’s really really what’s up this is this is fantastic so I don’t want to take too much of your time I think we we we cover a lot all the question that I’m not going to sort of go because I know lot of have to go in
