Say ‘ciao bella’ to an amazing eight day cycle tour! From Innsbruck you cycle comfortably to the largest lake in Italy – Lake Garda. Imposing mountain ranges, spectacular panoramic views and a culinary tour through the vineyards and orchards of South Tyrol. This is a cycle tour in the Mediterranean, which leaves nothing to be desired.
It is 325 kilometres by bike from Innsbruck to Lake Garda. Orchards, vineyards, castles and palaces line your way. Your constant companion is the river valley of the Inn and Adige. Eurobike-Tip: Treat yourself to a glass of wine and a plate of pasta on a cosy terrace in the wine village of Auer.
After your arrival in the capital of Tyrol Innsbruck, you cycle through the vineyards of South Tyrol over eight days. From Innsbruck you cycle to Imst. Then by bus over the Reschenpass to Landeck then by bike downhill. So it’s the ideal route for a casual cyclist. Along the Etsch Cycle Path, you continue down the Adige River to Bolzano, Ora, Trento and finally to the beautiful Lake Garda. The cycle tour runs on farm roads between orchards and vineyards and offers ample opportunity to have a rest and soak in the atmosphere. On average, you complete 50 kilometres per day.
Are you a fan of Italy and always wanted to see Lake Garda? Then you are just a few clicks away from your perfect cycle tour!
