Germany, Austria, Italy - three countries with beautiful nature, charming cities and excellent cuisine. Since you experience all three on our "Munich - Merano" tour, variety is guaranteed. Crossing the Alps by bike is a great way to take in the beauty of the different mountain landscapes without completely exhausting yourself. Hop onto the saddle with us, there is a lot to experience!
You start in Munich with big city flair! The Bavarian capital has a lot to offer, be it a rustic stop in a beer garden, the numerous sights and museums or a shopping tour through the chic boutiques. With each stage, the surroundings become more rural. The route takes you over Lake Starnberg to Garmisch-Partenkirchen. If you decide to take the Zugspitzbahn up to an altitude of 2,962 metres, you will be treated to a panoramic view of some 400 Alpine mountains. The idyllic Mittenwald is not only the highest health resort in Germany, you can also take a close look at the artistically decorated house facades.
On the stage through Austria, you will pass Stams with its baroque monastery and the picturesque Imst in the Ötztal valley. Once in South Tyrol, the route leads through the Vinschgau Valley with many great attractions along the way towards Merano. Lake Reschen, Glurns and Schlanders as well as numerous castles, palaces and vineyards line the tour.
The cycle paths and side roads here are excellently developed, but you have to cycle uphill in places on all days. A bus will take you to the Reschen Pass and the Vinschgau Railway can shorten the stage in South Tyrol. The 40 to 65 km long stages should be supplemented by numerous rest stops to enjoy the beautiful panoramas.
Bavaria’s state capital awaits its visitors with numerous sights (English Garden, town hall, ‚Hofbräuhaus‘,…).
Hotel (example): Munich Marriott Hotel City West
From Munich through the Forstenrieder Park onto Lake Starnberg. From Starnberg on the cycle path directly along the lakeside to Ambach or onwards to Bernried. The lake tempts you with crystal-clear waters and the views are fabulous onto the surrounding mountains.
Hotel (example): Landhotel Huber am See
Initially a cycle tour past Lake Riegsee to Murnau. Onwards through the nature reserve Murnauer Moos the largest marsh area in Central Europe and through unspoilt nature following the river Loisach to Garmisch Partenkirchen. Here you have the option of a ride with the Zugspitzbahn up to an altitude of 2962 m (autonomously). From up there you enjoy a stupendous view over the Alps.
Hotel (example): Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten
Today you proceed along the beautifully developed cycle path all the way to the river Isar. You cycle through the sunny high mountain valley with marvellous panoramic views onto the Karwendel- and Wettersteingebirge-mountains to Mittenwald. Here we highly recommend a break and to take a stroll throughh the village with its Lüftlmalerei-painted houses. You then continue in a spectacular fashion through the Leutaschtal to Austria. You cycle along the Leutasch-stream through the stunningly beautiful valley all the way into your Day Finish.
Hotel (example): Hotel Bergfrieden
Today you cycle over into the Inn-river valley. You leave Leutasch on a country road leading you on gently hilly terrain before an eight-kilometre long descent takes you to Telfs. You cycle on the former towpath along the river Inn and so reach Stams with its Baroque Cistercian monastery. Then via Haiming it is not far to Imst, the so-called „North Tyrolean Merano‘.
Hotel (example): Hotel Hirschen
Today, you will cycle along the river Inn, past the monastery Zams to Landeck. A bus will take you to Nauders from where you will cycle less than 100 metres in altitude uphill to the mountain pass Resia. From there, you will cycle downhill to Lake Resia and continue on minor roads to Malles (many towers in the centre) or to Burgusio at the foot of the castle Marienburg.
Hotel (example): Hotel zum Hirschen
Your day starts with a trip to Glurns (perfectly preserved medieval city walls). Then, you will cycle via the Montani ruins, through Silandro, down to Merano. 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. Since 2004, the Venosta train (Vinschgaubahn) has been operating again between Malles and Merano. You can almost always take this train to travel a part of your journey.
Hotel (example): Villa Laurus
Now it would actually be nice to add a few more days ... It is also a great way to continue the tour all the way to Lake Garda.
You cycle on marvellous cycle paths and little side roads and only on very short sections on main roads. Nearly every day there are small ascents to be tackled. The Resia-pass will be bypassed via a bus transfer, then follows a descent of approx. 1200 metres in altitude to Merano. The route is mainly asphalted, a few longer sections also on well-maintained dirt roads.

Erlebnisreich auch trotz massiver Regenfälle am 2. und 3. Tag mit der Belohnung und schönstem Wetter an den anderen Tagen!
Immer wieder Euro Bike… Sehr gute Streckenführung, Erläuterung… Gut ausgewählte Unterkünfte… Alles bestens…
Vielen Dank für ihr Feedback. Es freut uns sehr, dass Sie mit der Reise rundum zufriden waren.
Diese "leichte" Alpenüberquerung ist eine super Möglichkeit die Alpen auch ohne große Herausforderung zu bewältigen. Danke für diese super ausgearbeitete Tour!
Vielen Dank für die schöne Bewertung! Wir würden uns sehr freuen Sie auch in der kommenden Saison auf einer unserer schönen Touren begrüßen zu dürfen!
Diese Reise war unser persönliches Highlight dieses Jahr. Von der Buchung bis zur Betreuung vor Ort hat alles super geklappt. Danke für den tollen Service! Was uns jedoch am meisten beeindruckt hat ist, dass wir in nur 11 Tagen durch drei Länder: Deutschland, Österreich und Italien radelten. Wir würden die Reise immer wieder weiterempfehlen. Und umbedingt das Pistazieneis in der Gelateria Bologna probieren. Richtig lecker!!
