110 km waiting to be ridden... and the journey isn’t over yet!

Over its 110 km, the Treviso–Ostiglia cycle path offers accommodations, rest and refreshment areas, bicycle rental points, cyclist-friendly services, and, above all, a continuous variety of landscapes and views.

The route runs east–west, following the path of a former railway.
Its main advantage is being a long, flat line extending continuously for 110 km from Treviso to Legnago, entirely on its own dedicated track, mostly paved (only a 15 km stretch in the province of Treviso features a stabilized gravel surface).
It is a well-shaded route in the Treviso and Padua areas, so much so that it is often referred to as a true greenway — a linear forest of about 55 km between Treviso and Grisignano di Zocco (Vicenza).
Another distinctive feature is the pleasant sequence of architectural remnants from the former railway: stations, crossing keeper’s houses, and other railway buildings. Many have been restored — some converted into private homes, others repurposed to serve and assist cyclists.

The original railway was built in several stages between 1919 and 1941, spanning about 116 km to connect Ostiglia (province of Mantua) with Treviso — and, symbolically, the two great rivers Po and Sile. Used for both commercial and military purposes, it was heavily damaged during World War II to the point of becoming inoperable. After the war, some sections were permanently closed, while others — in the provinces of Mantua, Verona, and Vicenza — remained in use for freight transport until the early 1980s.

Work to reclaim the railway track and convert it into a cycle path began in 2009, with the first sections inaugurated in 2012.

Today, the route forms a long, perfectly restored green corridor running without interruption for about 110 km from Treviso to Legnago (province of Verona), passing through villages, rural towns, natural oases, and dotted with cyclist services.

It is one of Veneto’s main cycle tourism arteries. Designated as Itinerary No. 5 (I5) in the official regional signage, it links to several other important cycling routes in the region, such as: the Sile Cycle Path (Treviso–Jesolo), the Sentiero degli Ezzelini (Asolo), the Cammino di Sant’Antonio (Padua), the Brenta Cycle Path (Trento–Bassano del Grappa), the Bacchiglione Cycle Path (Padua–Euganean Hills–Vicenza), the Riviera Berica, the Via del Tergola (to the Brenta Riviera), and it also easily connects with the Dolomites–Venice route and AIDA (Alta Italia da Attraversare), a major national itinerary over 900 km long.

It can be covered in one go or at a more relaxed pace. Thanks to its many access points and connecting paths, riders can stop to visit Venetian villas and other historical or natural sites of interest.

Important to note: at present, the cycle path is 110 km long. Within the next two years, restoration of the remaining railway section in the province of Verona will be completed. The route currently ends at the bridge in Legnago; to reach Ostiglia, secondary roads are recommended.  We suggest following the route provided by FIAB, which can be found in this section of the Green Tour Verde in Movimento website.

It can be covered in a single ride or at a more relaxed pace, its many access points and branches allowing you to stop and visit the Veneto villas or other places of historical or natural interest.
