8-days Self-guided Innsbruck to Bolzano

The classic on Adige cycle path

Whether in spring, summer, or autumn: South Tyrol is always worth a visit by bike. The glittering ice worlds, huge mountains, fertile orchards and vineyards make your journey an unforgettable sensual experience. You will start the in Innsbruck with a stopover in Imst, also called 'Merano of North Tyrol'. From Landeck,  take a bus to Nauders am Reschenpass. From there mainly cycle downhill. This way, also less athletic cyclists can master the route easily. Join the river Adige flowing into the valley past the sunken village in Lake Reschenstausee until you reach Bolzano. Take a rest, drink a bottle of the widely praised Kalterer wine and enjoy the view of the Rose Garden: for a beautiful mountain backdrop. For others the kingdom of the dwarf king Laurin in which the roses start to glow in the sunset. This will be the perfect culmination of an amazing trip.

You will cycle on bike paths in the river valleys of the Inn and Adige rivers. A bus will take you from Landeck to Nauders. From there you will cycle uphill 70 metres in altitude until you reach Reschenpass (mountain pass). Afterwards, you can enjoy cycling downhill for more than 1,200 metres in altitude to Bolzano.
