Slow tourism in Veneto is declined through multiple activities,
designed to discover the territory and observe it from new perspectives.
From cycle tourism to trekking, bird watching and fishing.
Here are the proposals for a holiday between nature, art and tradition.
All ‘green’ and with a high ‘detox’ index
Forget about time and enjoy every moment of your vacation. This is the philosophy of slow tourism, far from the hectic metropolis, you immerse yourself in the territory and savor every nuance, slowly. Veneto, with its landscapes and the many opportunities it offers, presents itself as the ideal region to organize a dynamic stay. There are many activities to practice to rediscover contact with nature and enjoy benefits for the mind and body. From cycling to hiking, fishing and bird watching, here are some ideas to pack. Proposals that are in line with the new tourism trends, linked to sustainability, experiences and the possibility of detoxifying from the excessive use of technological devices.
Cycling tourism
Bicycle enthusiasts do not give up on discovering the Veneto region on their mountain bikes. For those who prefer slowness, the pedaling that tastes like a walk, the Veneto Region has selected 5 itineraries divided into stages and 7 daily excursions to discover the historical, artistic and landscape riches. You pass through natural parks and cities of art, medieval villages where you can taste local specialties accompanied by good wine. Sports enthusiasts, on the other hand, will be able to try their hand at the routes of the Giro d’Italia by venturing into the Asiago plateau, the Euganean and Berici Hills and again among the Prosecco hills or the scenic Dolomites.
Trekking
Trekking is the soul of those who, legs on their shoulders, love paths and scenic routes. A real cult of slow tourism suitable for all ages and can be calibrated on one’s physical resistance. Going on foot allows you to know hidden corners of the Veneto, there are hundreds of paths that wind from the Adriatic coast, to the lush hills, up to the high mountains. For a walk in the countryside it is important to bring adequate equipment and plan your itinerary, after which all that remains is to be seduced by how much this region gives to those who visit it.
Equestrian tourism
The idea of being ‘slow’ is well expressed through equestrian tourism. Horseback tours from the coast to the hills are a way to admire the different facets of the area while relaxing and enjoying the view from the top of the back of your steed. It is a suggestive alternative to go around the Veneto, you don’t need to be skilled jockeys or daring amazons, in fact, with a guide, even beginners will be able to appreciate this type of experience.
Birdwatching
An activity that appeals to those who support slow tourism is birdwatching. What do you need? Binoculars and a guide to recognize the birds that roam freely in the Venetian skies. It is a relaxing hobby that captures young and old, it can be practiced in all seasons and contrary to popular belief, there is no need to flee to remote places. Even in the city, species never seen before can be seen. In Veneto then, the variety of climates and environments make it possible to observe over 400 varieties of birds.
Fishing tourism
Everyone on the boat! There are places whose charm is enhanced by the water, what is better than sharing your day with a fisherman. Fishing tourism is one of the new ways to explore the territory in a conscious way, enhancing the environment and spreading seafaring traditions. Slow tourism cannot neglect this kind of excursions that take visitors to Veneto along the coasts, lagoons, lakes and rivers for a first approach to professional fishing. The best spots are undoubtedly the Po Delta and the Venetian Lagoon, an emotion to be experienced even at night with the sea illuminated by the moonlight and the glare of the stars.
On the water
And by remaining on the water, finally, you can experience new perspectives. A Veneto reflected in one of its fundamental elements. A canoe or kayak trip, or a dinghy ride or maybe a houseboat for an unforgettable trip. The waves lull those who choose a slow holiday, those who choose to be caressed by the wind. You can sail between the islands of Venice on a bragozzo, a typical boat of the Serenissima; stop at the Cervara Oasis along the Sile; paddling on the Adige or falling in love during an intimate tour on the Po Delta.
