Church with vines

Wonderful cycle paths, impressive natural scenery and villages with a lot of culture: on the Bressanone tour you cycle through the valleys of South Tyrol, from Bressanone to Bolzano to the Puster Valley. From the bike saddle, the impressive and massive peaks of the Dolomites are very close. Dreamlike vineyards and river landscapes line the cycle paths. Immerse yourself in the South Tyrolean way of life and enjoy the incredible charm of this region by bike.

 

The perfect starting point for your cycling tours is the cathedral city of Bressanone. From here you cycle to your heart’s content through the surrounding valleys. The special thing about it: the order is variable. You can decide for yourself which valley to explore on the saddle on which day. At the end of the day, you always come back to your starting point of Bressanone.

Relaxation? Anyone who loves to rest after cycling can look forward to it. Treat yourself to a break and let the relaxation run wild. Foodies take note! In South Tyrol the culinary arts are very important. Indulge in regional delicacies and indulge in Italian cuisine!

A very special highlight in South Tyrol is the wine: From sweet white wines to strong red wines, you can find it all on the South Tyrolean Wine Route. Tip: Taste the fine wines and enjoy ‘La Dolce Vita’ in South Tyrol.

  • Bolzano: You cycle along an old railway line for about 45 kilometres from Briessanone to Bolzano. The magnificent cycle path leads through the medieval town of Chiusa. As the valley narrows, the vineyards get closer. Culture tip: Take a stroll in Bolzano. The Laubengasse, the Ötzimuseum and the Waltherplatz are definitely worth a visit.
  • Vahrner See: The short stage (about 20km) to Lake Vahrner offers fantastic opportunities to enjoy the region. Take advantage of the Bressanone card for a city tour, a cable car ride or hiking experiences. The best thing about it is that you can take a cooling dip in Lake Vahrner in between.
  •  

On the seven-day centre-based tour you will cycle approximately 205 kilometres over five stages. The routes are mostly downhill and are therefore perfect for leisure cyclists. In your hotel in Bressanone you will start the day with a rich breakfast buffet.

Itinerary at a glance

The charming cathedral city of Bressanone is the starting point for your journey through South Tyrol. On an old railroad line, you cycle to Bolzano with Walther Square and the Ötzi Museum; at Lake Varna, you get to know the diversity of the region.

You will get your travel documents and rental bikes (if booked). We recommend taking a first walk through the charming old town.

A wonderful tour to start with! The old railway track from Bressanone to Bolzano was adapted into a fantastic bike path. Going steadily downhill, the track leads you through the medieval town of Chiusa with the monastery Säben. The valley is getting narrower and narrower and the vineyards of the most northerly wine-growing region of Italy are getting closer and closer. All too soon, you will reach Bolzano! You should take a walk through the arcades to the Ötzi museum (free admission with the Bressanone Card) and stop at Piazza Walther before you will return to Bressanone by train.

In the morning there will be a short transfer by shuttle bus to Elvas above Bressanone. The route will lead you from village to village. On slightly hilly terrain, you will cycle across orchards with great views of the valleys Puusteria and Isarco. On the way back, you can visit the Augustinian Abbey of Neustift where you will find the world's smallest Bible.

In the morning there will be a transfer by train to the Brenner Pass. 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 Vipiteno, the once mighty city of the Fugger. Here you can enjoy a long break before you will continue your tour on the bike path downhill to the beautiful Castle Reifenstein and Franzensfeste with the famous fortress. From there, only a few kilometers remain on your way back to Bressanone.

Slightly uphill, the trail will lead you to Lake Varna. The Kneipp facility at the city of Varna could help you to refresh your body. Because the tour is not very long, you will have enough time to take advantage of the extensive offers of the Bressanone Card (cable car ride to the Plose, various museums, guided tours, hiking adventures, etc.)

In the morning, transfer by train into the Pusteria Valley, to Brunico or TDobbiaco. You will follow the river Rienz, cycling mostly downhill on a beautiful bike path, leaving the valley behind you. The deep green Olang reservoir is located shortly before Brunico (local history museum). Then, the route will lead you comfortably through the lower Pusteria valley to the Mühlbacher Klause and into the Isarco valley and finally back to Bressanone.
