The leisure and culture lovers among you have a reason to be happy. Because on the bike saddle towards Lake Garda you will experience not only mountain panoramas and charming landscapes, but also culinary delights of the highest class. From the Alps, you can soar 1500 metres downhill into sunny Italy. Meran, Bolzano and Trento are just a few South Tyrolean villages that line the cycle path to Lake Lago. Through the vineyards and orchards you cycle in good spirits on well-maintained cycled paths towards the destination.

Indulgence: treat yourself to a rest along the South Tyrolean Wine Route and enjoy a glass or two of fine wine. What will you find? Characterful white wine and strong red wine specialities that will provide pure enjoyment.

With every push of the pedals, the Italian way of life gets stronger. Be enchanted by the Dolce Vita and immerse yourself in the relaxed and enjoyable lifestyle around Lake Garda. Pizza, pasta and gelato are just waiting to be eaten. Once you arrive at Lake Garda you can finally relax and enjoy yourself.

  • The sunken church: The sunken church in the Reschensee is especially worth seeing. Tip: before leaving, take time to take a photo of the impressive natural landscape.
  • South Tyrol: If you had to describe South Tyrol in three words, it would be: wine, charm and nature. No matter where, South Tyrol is impressive. From Meran to Bolzano it has a unique flair and incomparable hospitality.
  • Lago di Garda: Lake Garda and its lovely towns and villages offers a special lifestyle. No place is like the other and so the lake offers the right spot for everyone. Just enjoy the good life and relax.

In the seven or eight-day tour, you cover approximately 250 kilometres by bike. For the most part, the route runs along the Adige. It goes downhill about 1,500 metres. Enjoy the cook breeze before tackling a few inclines.

Itinerary at a glance

The first grandiose view is of the Lake Resia with the sunken church. The nature of South Tyrol offers many culinary delights, whether wine, apple strudel or apricot dumplings, and at Lake Garda you can enjoy the famous "Dolce Vita"!

In the evening, you have a personal tour information and the handover of rental bikes.

Hotel (example): Panorama 2000

Today you will cycle along Lake Resia with a great view of the sunken church of Graun until you reach the medieval village of Glurns (perfectly preserved medieval city walls). Your destination is Silandro, the capital of the famous Venostra.

Hotel (example): Hotel Goldene Rose

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 Ortlermassiv and the mountain pass Stilfserjoch, whilst you are rolling down on your bike into the tranquil Merano with its Mediterranean vegetation.

Hotel (example): Villa Laurus

There are two alternative ways leading to Bolzano: either you cycle along the river Adige or you take the way with impressive landscapes through orchards to Lana and Appiano. On this route you can even visit the Messner Mountain Museum, which is located in the renovated ruin Sigmundskron. Ötzi, the Iceman, is surely worth a visit.

Hotel (example): Mondschein

You cycle through numerous orchards and vineyards in the area of the wine trail of South Tyrol. Moreover, you pass a lot of castles, palaces and ruins, as well as the wine village Appiano. Then you continue to Lake Caldaro before you get to Ora.

Mostly along the nice cycle path of the river Adige, partly through orchards again, until you get to Salurn, where the German-speaking South Tyrol ends. The causeways lead until Trento, which has a lovely and impressive old town.

Hotel (example): NH Trento

Today, you will cycle on bike paths along the river Adige via the old Tyrolean border town of Rovereto to Mori. From here, the route leads westward to Lake Garda. In Mori you will taste the world famous pistachio ice-cream in the Gelateria Bologna. After a short climb to Passo S. Giovanni (150 metres), you will head down to the lake to Torbole or Riva.

Hotel (example): Paradiso Conca D'Oro

Between Mountains & Lakes: Cycle from Lake Reschen to Lake Garda
Finally, the time has come – my very first ‚Employee on Tour‘- cycle holiday starts. The decision was made relatively quickly in favour of the Etsch Cycle Path, more precisely on the tour from Lake Reschen to Lake Garda. Since I only recently took over the South Tyrol travel destination, it is a very good opportunity to gain insight into the region and discover the holiday from a customer’s perspective. South Tyrol is one of my favourite travel destinations and now I get the chance to explore the beautiful nature of the Northern region of Italy by bike for a change.

Travel story Adige cycle path
South Tyrol has lots to offer including beautiful nature, excellent culinary offerings and (almost) always good weather. The northernmost region of Italy is a magnet for young and old, singles or families, athletes and hobby cyclists. Until now, I knew our tours only in theory – pictures and descriptions. But finally I had my chance; I could try our cycle tour from Lake Reschen to Lake Garda for myself. And with that we went to South Tyrol…

Travel report: Cycle tour from Lake Reschen to Bolzano
In order to get to know the region, the cycle paths and our South Tyrolean partners, I was allowed to get out of the office for a few days in October 2019 to hit the pedals. Although my tour was only part of the Lake Reschen – Lake Garda cycle tour, I saw a lot, experienced a lot and had a completely new experience. So, together with a friend, I made my way to Italy, where luckily good weather was already waiting for us.
