Cyclist on asphalted cycle path surrounded by fenced meadows, mountains in the background

Say ‘ciao bella’ to an amazing eight day cycle tour! From Innsbruck you cycle comfortably to the largest lake in Italy – Lake Garda. Imposing mountain ranges, spectacular panoramic views and a culinary tour through the vineyards and orchards of South Tyrol. This is a cycle tour in the Mediterranean, which leaves nothing to be desired.

It is 325 kilometres by bike from Innsbruck to Lake Garda. Orchards, vineyards, castles and palaces line your way. Your constant companion is the river valley of the Inn and Adige. Eurobike-Tip: Treat yourself to a glass of wine and a plate of pasta on a cosy terrace in the wine village of Auer.

  • Indulgent cycling holiday: Through orchards and vineyards along the South Tyrolean Wine Route, you cycle along the Eldorado of South Tyrol. Selected wines and fruits line your way, just waiting to be tasted!
  • Trentino vineyards and landscapes: In Trento, the Eurobike team has a sightseeing tip for you: in addition to the lovely old town with the stately Cathedral in the centre, the castle Buonconsiglio is also worth a visit!
  • Delicious pistachio ice cream by a beautiful lake: Admire Italy’s largest lake, Lake Garda, and experience ‘la Dolce Vita’ in the truest sense! Especially in the Gelateria Bologna in Mori!

After your arrival in the capital of Tyrol Innsbruck, you cycle through the vineyards of South Tyrol over eight days. From Innsbruck you cycle to Imst. Then by bus over the Reschenpass to Landeck then by bike downhill. So it’s the ideal route for a casual cyclist. Along the Etsch Cycle Path, you continue down the Adige River to Bolzano, Ora, Trento and finally to the beautiful Lake Garda. The cycle tour runs on farm roads between orchards and vineyards and offers ample opportunity to have a rest and soak in the atmosphere. On average, you complete 50 kilometres per day.

Are you a fan of Italy and always wanted to see Lake Garda? Then you are just a few clicks away from your perfect cycle tour!

Itinerary at a glance

After the Inn Valley and the Resia Pass, you cycle through the orchards and vineyards of South Tyrol and past castles and palaces. In Trento, you will be impressed by the stately cathedral, and at Lake Garda you can look forward to a creamy pistachio ice cream.

Welcome briefing and bike fitting. For the rest of the day, we recommend visiting Innsbruck’s famous old town with its city tower and its “Golden Roof”.

Sample Hotel: Austria Trend Congress

 

You will cycle on the former towpath along the river Inn, along the foot of the Martinswand (mountain face) and through little villages and market towns to Stams (baroque Cistercian convent). Then, you will continue your tour via Haiming to Imst, the so-called “Merano of North Tyrol”.

Sample Hotel: Hirschen

 

Today, you will cycle along the river Inn, past the monastery Zams to Landeck. A bus will take you to Nauders from where you will cycle less than 100 metres in altitude uphill to the mountain pass Resia. From there, you will cycle downhill to Lake Resia and continue on minor roads to Malles (many towers in the centre) or to Burgusio at the foot of the castle Marienburg.

Sample Hotel: Garni Zum Hirschen

 

Your day starts with a trip to Glurns, which has got perfectly preserved medieval city walls. Then, you will cycle via the Montani ruins, through Silandro, down to Merano. On your way, you will come across some pretty castles (mountaineer Reinhold Messner’s castle Juval) and you will get marvellous views of the impressive mountain massif Ortlermassiv and the mountain pass Stilfserjoch. Since 2004, the Venosta train (Vinschgaubahn) has been operating again between Malles and Merano. You can almost always take this train as part of your journey.

Sample Hotel: Villa Laurus

 

Today’s stage will take you via Lana (Schnatterpeck Altar) and through numerous orchards and vineyards in the area of the South Tyrolean Wine Road, past many fortresses, castles, and ruins such as Hocheppan (famous frescos), to Lake Caldaro. You will stay overnight in the cosy wine town, Ora.

Sample Hotel: Residence Kaufmann

 

On the sixth day, you will mainly cycle along the river Adige. At times you will cycle through orchards to Salorno, where the German speaking South Tyrol ends. The famous Trentino vineyards are located next to the dam ways. These ways lead you to Trento, which has a lovely old town, a cathedral and Buonconsiglio castle.

Sample Hotel: Grand Hotel Trento

 

Today, you will cycle on bike paths along the river Adige via the old Tyrolean border town of Rovereto to Mori. From here, the route leads westward to Lake Garda. In Mori you will taste the world famous pistachio ice-cream in the Gelateria Bologna. After a short climb onto Passo S. Giovanni (150 metres), you will head down to the lake to Torbole or  Riva.
