A bicycle stands in front of vineyards near Merano

Get ready for an active tour packed with nature, culinary delights and culture. Historical sites, places with magnificent natural spectacles and the warmth of South Tyrol. Enjoy the versatility of the cuisine, which combines traditional elements with modern influences. But at the top of the list is regionality, and the region has plenty of that to offer: juicy apples, world-famous wine, smoky speck (bacon) and heavenly desserts.

The starting point of the tour is Resia. You won't get far at first, as the famous Lake Resia already invites you to take a short break. You should not miss this photo op: the famous church tower rising out of the water. Plan a visit to a museum during your trip. In the Messner Mountain Museum at Juval Castle (day 3) or Sigmundskron Castle (day 4) you can follow in the footsteps of the extreme mountaineer. In Bolzano, "Ötzi, the Iceman" awaits.

Along the charming wine villages around Silandro, Ora & Co. the area becomes increasingly Mediterranean. As soon as you set your sights on the lake, at the latest, you will forget all your exertions. Merano and Bolzano first and foremost, the city destinations read like a dream come true. 

  • The church tower in Lake Resia: The Lake Resia is known for its low water temperature and the many boats - but above all it is known for a church tower that sticks out of the middle of the lake.
  • Stroll through the Laubengasse in Bolzano: the characteristic Gothic round arches make the "Via dei Portici" so distinctive. People were trading here in the 12th century, and today you can stroll through the chic boutiques.
  • Imagine this: In the sun, the water begins to glisten and when you blink into the light, life is just sugary sweet. The included boat trip across Lake Garda will make your mind light up - it's the atmosphere of this special lake!
  • The Piazza delle Erbe in Verona is not only the oldest square in the city, but has also been voted the most beautiful in the world. The daily market is definitely worth a visit, offering fruit and vegetables as well as regional specialities and souvenirs for those at home.

This tour not only shines with the beauty of South Tyrol, Mediterranean lightness and fabulous views that invite you to take many breaks. You should treat yourself to them because of the wonderful views, even though the 30 to 50 km long stages are relatively easy to master.

Itinerary at a glance

The fruits of South Tyrol taste wonderful - during the apple and apricot blossoms, the scent is beguiling. Castles and palaces line the route; a visit to the Messner Mountain Museum near Bolzano is worthwhile, and in Verona to Juliet's balcony.

By car or by train and bus to Resia (mountain pass) and further to Resia.

Hotel (example): Villa Claudia Augusta

 

Today you will cycle along Lake Resia with a great view of the sunken church of Graun until you reach the medieval village of Glurns (perfectly preserved medieval city walls). Your destination is Silandro, the capital of the famous Venosta.

Hotel (example): Goldene Rose

 

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 while you are rolling down on your bike into the tranquil Merano with its Mediterranean vegetation.

Hotel (example): : Flora

 

Two paths lead to Bolzano: One along the Adige River and another through the impressive landscape of orchards via Lana and Appiano. Here you can find the Messner Mountain Museum in the well-restored ruin of Sigmundskron. Ötzi – the man from the ice – is worth a visit.

Hotel (example): Mondschein

 

There are two ways to get to lake Caldaro: slightly hilly way on the cycle path via Appiano or on the flat cycle path along the Adige dam until you get to the charming wine village Ora.

Hotel (example): Kaufmann

 

From Ora onwards on the cycle path along the Adige dam. The ‚Salurner Klause’ is the end of the German speaking part of South Tyrol. Your cycle path leads you through famous Trentino wine regions into the ancient diocesan town Trento (lovely old part of town, cathedral, Buonconsiglio palace).

Hotel (example): NH Trento

 

First, you will continue cycling along the Adige through Rovereto and on to Mori from where the route leads westwards towards Lake Garda. After a short ascent (Passo San Giovanni), you will descend down to the lake to Torbole and further on to Riva. From here, a boat will take you down the entire length of the lake.

Hotel (example): Bonotto Desenzano

 

You will travel on partly flat, partly slightly hilly roads through the vine hills to Verona, a city full of attractions (festival arena, Julia’s house, old city walls).

Hotel (example): ARK
