Southern Tyrol: Great Cycling in Northern Italy
It is definitely not only worth cycling in Southern Tyrol during the autumn at the time of the ‘Törggelen’! Also in spring and in the summer, this region, close to the Austrian border, has a certain charm to it.

Due to the mild climate, you can enjoy both the Dolomite’s impressive mountain panorama whilst the warm sun shines on your back.
Experience Southern Tyrol's Variety for Yourself
People talk about the ‘Törggelen’ all over the world and it really is a lively tradition. If a hearty meal is being had in autumn with good company then young wine and ‘Most’ (fruit wine, normally apple) are never far away. You should experience the ‘Törggelen’, whilst cycling through Southern Tyrol. Typical examples of food for this rustic celebration are hearty speck, rye bread and ‘Krapfen’ (doughnuts) – of course all self-produced. Whilst on a bike tour during harvest time, you should definitely take a break to experience the traditional ‘Törggelen’. After the harvest time, a feast always takes place according to ancient tradition and is hosted by the wine makers. Thanks to the harvesters, fine foods from the region can land on the table. In the spring and the summer, charming Southern Tyrol is in no way stingy; it is full of charm. The bike tour goes along lots of newly opened bike paths past swooshing streams along the southern side of the Alps. The seasons come across in a much more intensive way between the mountains and the valley. It is a dream destination for foodies, for energetic people and for anyone else who wants it to be.
A Different Side of Italy: Southern Tyrol and its Towns
On many of the bike paths, right in the north of Italy, you get presented with Italy’s original side. Whilst on your bike tour discover the spa town, Merano or the historical state capital, Bolzano with its many little cafes. You will also get an impressive view of the Dolomites. In terms of cuisine, you get the best from two countries here! In Southern Tyrol you can enjoy an Italian espresso with a typical Austrian pastry or cake.
