Bike paths in Jesolo: a mini guide to discover the surroundings and have fun!
In this article, we talked about the magnificent opportunity that the city of Jesolo offers you to spend a holiday dedicated to the sun and sport. Today we want to deepen the subject by offering you a mini guide to experience the more than 500 km of cycle paths.
In 2009, the Municipal Administration launched the Jesolo Ambient Bike project: a program created to support and help cyclists explore the city surroundings.
The plan consists of 14 routes, with different difficulties, designed to live unique experiences, immersed in landscapes different from each other. Our Hotel Napoleon fully supports this initiative by offering you the opportunity to ride one of our bicycles and discover all the wonders around you.
