Bressanone - based in one hotel

You will get your travel documents and rental bikes (if booked). We recommend taking a first walk through the charming old town.

A wonderful tour to start with! The old railway track from Bressanone to Bolzano was adapted into a fantastic bike path. Going steadily downhill, the track leads you through the medieval town of Chiusa with the monastery Säben. The valley is getting narrower and narrower and the vineyards of the most northerly wine-growing region of Italy are getting closer and closer. All too soon, you will reach Bolzano! You should take a walk through the arcades to the Ötzi museum (free admission with the Bressanone Card) and stop at Piazza Walther before you will return to Bressanone by train.

In the morning there will be a short transfer by shuttle bus to Elvas above Bressanone. The route will lead you from village to village. On slightly hilly terrain, you will cycle across orchards with great views of the valleys Puusteria and Isarco. On the way back, you can visit the Augustinian Abbey of Neustift where you will find the world's smallest Bible.

In the morning there will be a transfer by train to the Brenner Pass. From the small border town Brennero, you will cycle on a newly extended bike path, mostly along the river Isarco, first to the little village Gossensass and immediately afterwards to Vipiteno, the once mighty city of the Fugger. Here you can enjoy a long break before you will continue your tour on the bike path downhill to the beautiful Castle Reifenstein and Franzensfeste with the famous fortress. From there, only a few kilometers remain on your way back to Bressanone.

Slightly uphill, the trail will lead you to Lake Varna. The Kneipp facility at the city of Varna could help you to refresh your body. Because the tour is not very long, you will have enough time to take advantage of the extensive offers of the Bressanone Card (cable car ride to the Plose, various museums, guided tours, hiking adventures, etc.)

In the morning, transfer by train into the Pusteria Valley, to Brunico or TDobbiaco. You will follow the river Rienz, cycling mostly downhill on a beautiful bike path, leaving the valley behind you. The deep green Olang reservoir is located shortly before Brunico (local history museum). Then, the route will lead you comfortably through the lower Pusteria valley to the Mühlbacher Klause and into the Isarco valley and finally back to Bressanone.
