Cycle paths in South Tyrol
It does not always have to be countless metres in altitude, tough trails or challenging mountain bike tours to high peaks. There are many beautiful cycle paths in the valleys of South Tyrol, which are particularly suitable for leisure cyclists, families and beginners. This makes the region a top destination for cyclists in Europe.

After all, what counts most on holiday is peace, relaxation and beautiful impressions that will stay with you long after your holiday is over. Biking on the sunny cycle paths of South Tyrol amidst gently undulating hills and at the foot of mighty mountain giants can easily be such a sustainable experience – especially if you round off your cycling trip with an excellent meal in a South Tyrolean tavern or restaurant.

Vinschgau Marketing - PhotoGrünerThomasThe Vinschgau and the Meran region in particular are known for their cycle paths. In spring, they lead through blossoming apple orchards, in summer and autumn through orchards decorated in red, yellow and green. Towards the south, along the South Tyrolean Wine Route, the landscape becomes even sunnier and, as far as Lake Kaltern, apple orchards alternate with lovely vineyards.
If you turn northwards, you cross the valley of the same name along the Eisack River: the Eisacktal Valley. The cycle path there leads through beautiful chestnut groves and romantic, medieval towns such as Klausen, Brixen and Sterzing until it ends at the Brenner Alpine pass.
