X-River: a bridge between Bibione and Lignano for a summer full of adventures!

The sun is shining, the days are getting longer and the desire for the sea is becoming more and more intense. Summer is upon us and with it the possibility of living unforgettable experiences. Among the most interesting proposals for lovers of the sea and two wheels there is certainly the X-River ferry service, which connects the splendid seaside resorts of Bibione and Lignano Sabbiadoro.

Active from 29th March to 3rd November 2024, X-River allows you to cross the Tagliamento river in just a few minutes, enjoying a breathtaking view of the mouth and river vegetation. The ferry, which can carry up to 25 people with bikes in tow, leaves every 40 minutes from the two piers: that of Bibione is located approximately 1 km upstream from the Punta Tagliamento lighthouse, while that of Lignano is located near the dock of Marina Uno (south quay).

  • To explore nature by bicycle: X-River is ideal for cycle tourists who wish to combine the cycle routes of Bibione and Lignano. The ferry is equipped with special bike racks for transporting bicycles.
