Your hotels
Additional night in Sillian

We recommend an additional night in Sillian for a cycle tour to Lake Toblach. The scenic lake with the famous view of the ‘Three Peaks’ is only 21 flat, car-free kilometres by bike from Sillian. An additional night with a day trip there (42 km) is a ‘MUST’!
 

You will spend the night in the very good hotels mentioned or in some cases in hotels of equal quality.

Gastronomy

Daily breakfast buffet. With half board 4 x 3-course menus of choice (some in restaurants close to the hotel).
