Salzburg to Valdobbiadene?

[biggles330d]

During July we are on a road trip in Europe and have a stretch from Salzburg to a couple of weeks in the Prosecco region of Valdonniadene in Italy.
We could take the A10 through Austria, via Villach and Udine, but any suggestions for a more interesting route over the Dolomites?

I lived in Pederobba, a few miles from Valdobiadene. Some local tips:

- when you get there, be sure to stay at least some nights in Asolo. Stunning place with stunning cafes and restaurants. G&T at the Cipriani for the views and quality.
- You MUST go to Osteria Senza Oste - trust me. Its a "secret" honesty bar nestled in vineyards with views to die for. Used to be knowledge only passed from person to person until Facebook arrived... If you need directions ask, but I think it's on google maps now.
- Look up Trattoria San Bastian in Pederobba - traditional grilled meat with epic views and good prices. Try their costata di manzo.
- Also in Pederobba, try Spiga D'Oro for the best pizza you'll ever have in an unremarkable restaurant. People travel miles for it in Sundays.
- There are plenty of access points for a BBQ/paddle in the river Piave. Bigolino being one of the best

I drove south through Salzburg and on to Kuchl yesterday.
It was the worst traffic jam i have been in for years.
Thee are major roadworks on A10 autobahn and the 159 that we were on was also jammed.
I would check this out carefully before you close other options

On Saturday the autobahn and the main road (159) going south from Salzburg were again gridlocked due to roadworks

Thats really helpful, thanks. I'll seek to avoid it!

Not sure when you're going,. the lady who owned our appartment said the roadworks are going to be at least another two weeks from last weekend.
Have a look on google maps with the traffic overlay to get the latest, it seems to be especially a problem at weekends.
Enjoy your trip
