Teams must make their way to the Trampolino Olimpico. They must pick up an inflatable snow raft at the bottom of the hill, and ride a van that would take them and their snow raft to the top. They must then ride their snow raft down the steep, snowy hill. Once at the bottom, they may retrieve their next clue.
Teams must make their way to either Calalzo-Pieve Cadore-Cortina station in Calalzo di Cadore or Ponte nelle Alpi-Polpet in Ponte nelle Alpi, then take a train to Venice. Once there, they must make their way to Ponte delle Guglie, where they would find their next clue.
The Fast Forward instructions were given to teams at Trampolino Olimpico. Teams must make their way to Campo San Vio in Venice, where they must join a group of traveling street theater performers known as commedia dell'arte and join their performance until their next clue appeared in the skit. Once the team saw it, they could claim the Fast Forward pass. Steve & Dave won the Fast Forward.
Choice A: Waterway
Teams must ride a gondola and, using a provided map, guide their gondolier to Campo Querini Stampalia. However, they may not ask anybody for directions. Once at Campo Querini Stampalia, they would find their next clue.
Amanda & Chris, David & Jeff, Jon & Al, Monica & Sheree, Reichen & Chip, Russell & Cindy, Steve & Dave, Steve & Josh, and Tian & Jaree chose this task.
Choice B: Pathway
Teams must make their way on foot to Campo Querini Stampalia. Teams are not provided a map, but may ask for directions. Once at Campo Querini Stampalia, they would find their next clue.
Teams must make their way to Palazzo da Mosto, where they would find their next clue.
The team member assigned to perform this Roadblock must take one of four photos of a Venetian mask and enter a masquerade ball filled with revelers to find the one wearing the mask shown in their picture. Once they correctly find the person wearing the matching Venetian mask, they may exchange the photo for their next clue. If they choose incorrectly, the masked reveler will simply take their photo and walk away. Only four teams may enter the party at a time. If they are incorrect, they must go to the back of the line before they are allowed to try again.
The Roadblock performers per team are underlined:
Teams must make their way to Palazzo Ducale and find the Citta di Padova boat anchored in the Laguna Veneta to check in.

Trivia[]
- This was the first episode to air in the month of June.
- This episode marked the first time that a team that won the Fast Forward only did so after already completing that leg's Detour.
- This episode's Roadblock would return as an unacknowledged Switchback in "Choir Boy at Heart" in The Amazing Race 23.
- The episode title is said by Reichen Lehmkuhl as he pondered on Josh Cottingham saying there's a line formed outside of the train station, but the clue about arriving at one of the two train stations listed (Calalzo or Alpi) did not mention anything about a line that had to be formed once multiple teams arrived at the train station of their choice.
