Adige-Cycle Path for families

Hotel (example): Panorama Pension 2000

Enjoy the unparalleled panorama in Resia and breath in the fresh mountain air. Then you are off: two marvellously glistening lakes await already on your first cycle stage. You cycle past romantic snow-covered mountain tops and through unspoilt nature. Take a quick plunge into the the refreshing Lake Resia, featuring the renowned steeple in the water, or into the slightly smaller Lake Haidersee. Then you continue cycling leisurely downhill on the best-maintained cycle path via Glurns, the smallest town of South Tyrol, onwards as far as Sluderno. Knight-enthusiasts get their money’s worth at Churburg-castle: here you have the chance to visit the world’s largest private armoury!

Past the Biotope "Prader Sand", one of the last meadow-areas in South Tyrol, you cycle onwards to Laas today. This is also the place, where the world-renowned white marble is mined. We recommend you seize your chance and sample the tasty, yellow-orange Venostra-apricots or at least purchase a jar of the marvellously sweet jam to take home with you. Invigorated by those treats you continue through orchards as far as Silandro, today’s Day Finish. In the main town of the Venostra-region you get to marvel at the highest church tower of the country and jump into the cool water from the 3-metre diving platform of the outdoor pool.

Today apple blossom meadows, fruit plantations and picturesque villages line again your cycle path across the Venostra region. Gleefully you cycle to Latsch. You have time to visit the ‚AquaForum‘. This water park offers a lot of fun for families featuring sport pool, kids zone with water features and a 50 metre long tube-slide. Onwards past Kastelbell with its picturesque palace into today’s Day Finish Naturno. If you still fancy more splashing, Naturno offers a further opportunity to do that: a visit to the adventure pool with giant slide is a splendid idea especially on hot summer days. However there are other things to discover in Naturno as well such as fun playgrounds and even an adventure train station.

And again you are on your bike today! Along the flat terrain in the valley along the Adige river dam cycling is a true pleasure for both adults and kids. The impressive panorama onto the Merano valley basin and the surrounding mountain world is a constant companion along today’s route. Take a leisurely break at the picturesque pond of the Rabland-habitat. Past the outdoor swimming pool of Algrund, you cheerfully reach Merano at last. It is sheer bliss to just stroll through the centre of the beautiful cultural town with Mediterranean flair. Then you have the option to cycle ad libitum onwards into the Passiria-valley, where the fruit and wine growing areas reach deep down into the valley. Cycle along the same route back to Merano.

One more time you leisurely cycle downhill along the river Adige. With fruity apple plantations appearing sheer endless along your route.
