If you can enjoy the highlights of two countries at once during a cycle tour, then you've done everything right. The lively old town in Innsbruck, the episcopal city of Brixen, the Domplatz in Trento or the idyllic village of Auer - this tour simply has it all. On top of that, there are magnificent views, historic cycle paths, cultural insights and the wonderful culinary delights of Italy and Austria. Join us on this grandiose tour!

Let's start in the capital of Tyrol: Innsbruck offers numerous opportunities for a trip up the mountain before the cycling really begins. Via charming Sterzing you continue to Brixen and from there to Bolzano, where the historic Laubengasse invites you to take a stroll.

But you also save some energy for the stage on day 4, which ends with a glass of wine in the pretty village of Auer. On the way to Trento, enjoy the landscape lined with fruit trees and vines before finally reaching Verona via Rivalta. But before reaching your destination, be sure not to pass by two Trentino gems, the beautiful Rovereto and the magnificent velvet town of Ala.

  • The Golden Roof in Innsbruck: The famous landmark has now been shaping its home for over 500 years. You should not only look at the 2,657 fire-gilded copper shingles, but also at the places underneath - what is a bare bottom doing on the "Goldenes Dachl"?
  • South Tyrolean wine and fruit: The mildly sunny yet windy climate makes all the difference - the fruit varieties of apple, pear and apricot thrive particularly well on the alpine southern slopes. But the wine is not to forgotten. Take time for a rest in this special region.
  • Trento Domplatz: Watch the people strolling, marvel at the artistically painted houses and take a souvenir photo at the Neptune Fountain - the central square of the northern Italian city invites you to linger.
  • Cycle around the Arena di Verona: Very few cities exude this much charm and romance, but Verona is one of them. You could certainly fall in love here every day! Why not pay a visit to Juliet's balcony and take a spin around the third largest amphitheatre still standing?

This leisurely tour is perfect for leisure cyclists and those who want to become one. A highlight in itself are the great cycle paths that lead past the special courses of the rivers Adige and Isarco.

Itinerary at a glance

Between northern Tyrol and Verona, you will first leave the Brenner Pass behind. In Bolzano, the Laubengasse (street) invites you to do some shopping, and in the wine village of Auer you can enjoy the scenery. The pretty towns of Rovereto and Ala are well worth a visit.

Welcome briefing and bike fitting. For the rest of the day, we recommend visiting Innsbruck’s famous old town with its City Tower and its “Golden Roof”.

Sample hotel: Austria Trend Conrgess

After breakfast, we will take you up to the Brennero Pass (by train or minibus). From the small border town Brennero, you will cycle on a newly extended bike path, mostly along the river Isarco, first to the little village Gossensass and immediately afterwards to Sterzing, the once mighty city of the Fugger. You will continue your tour to Thumberg, to the beautiful Reifenstein Castle, and via Stilfes and Mittenwald to Franzensfeste with its famous fortress. The bike path continues to the beautiful and quiet Lake Varna, to Varna and finally to Bressanone, today's destination.

Sample hotel: Krone

You will ride your bike through the Dürer town Chiusa along the river Isarco to Waidbruck, where you have a stunning view of Castle Trostburg. Here, the valley gets narrower and leads into the Bolzano basin. The city where two cultures meet is awaiting its visitors with many attractions. An exciting exploration tour is possible, for example, in the Archaeological Museum with Ötzi the Iceman.

Sample hotel: Mondschein

Today you will pedal through numerous orchards and vineyards in the area of the South Tyrolean wine route, past many castles and ruins, to the wine village Appiano and further to Lake Caldaro. You will stay overnight in the cosy wine town Ora.

Sample hotel: Hotel Villa Groff

Today, the route will take you mostly on the beautiful bike path along the river Adige and partially through beautiful orchards to Salorno, where the German speaking South Tyrol ends. The dam pathways lead to Trento with its lovely old town.

Sample hotel: HiHotel

On this stage you will notice the Adige valley getting narrower and narrower. At the same time the mountain ranges, on which for many centuries impressive castles guarded over one of the most important trade routes, are getting closer and closer. We recommend a visit to Rovereto and the city of Mozart, Ala. Then you will continue your tour on the bike path to Rivalta.

Sample hotel: Albergo Olivo

On the seventh day, you will cycle on the well-built bike trail along the river Adige to Verona. There are just a few stops along the way.

Sample hotel: ARK Hotel
