Itinerary

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

Today you will cycle along Lake Reschen 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 Schlanders, the capital of the famous Vinschgauer.

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.

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 Eppan. 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.

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 Eppan. Then you continue to Lake Caldaro  before you get to Auer.

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.

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.

Nach dem Frühstück individuelle Rückreise oder Beginn Ihrer Verlängerung.

Tour character

You will cycle on beautiful bike paths mainly along the Adige River. The route will lead you from the Reschenpass (mountain pass) almost 1,500 metres in altitude downhill to Lake Garda. However, you will have to cycle some small climbs too. Overall, you will find yourself on beautiful bike paths and country lanes. Unfortunately, moderate traffic is unavoidable on some short connecting roads.

Maren G. DE | 07.07.2023
Eine absolute Traumreise
Wir haben die Reise Reschen-Gardasee (6 Radtage) gebucht, diese jedoch um je eine Übernachtung in Meran und in Auer/ Kalterersee verlängert sowie um ein paar Nächte am Gardasee. Speziell die zusätzliche Zeit in Meran und am Kalterersee hat uns sehr gut gefallen, da wir so noch mehr von Land und Leuten mit bekommen haben - Den Tag in Meran und am Kalterersee möchten wir nicht missen! Die ausgewählten Hotels waren allesamt hervorragend. Die Radstrecke als solches war für uns auch ohne E-Bíke keine Herausforderung, die Radwege waren in einem hervorragenden Zustand und hervorragend geführt. Auch die uns mitgelieferten Reiseunterlagen waren einwandfrei. Die Beratung über Rückenwind war auch sehr gut und sehr persönlich. unser Fazit: Für uns war es eine absolute Traumreise, die wir genau so wieder machen würden!
