Escape the daily routine and discover South Tyrol: whether through ambitious mountain bike tours or relaxing pleasure trips along gentle slopes and valleys, the best means to enjoy nature and tangible freedom is by bike. Departing fom the Venosta valley, ride downwards alongside the Adige river and ancient remnants of the legendary roman street Claudia Augusta, passing sunny orchards, medieval villages, castles and romantic churches. After the province’s capital Bolzano the Isarco valley spreads to the north. Passing the Sabiona abbey perched on the picturesque artist’s town Chiusa you’ll reach the old Episcopal residence of Bressanone. A short way after, the path detours almost evenly towards the Upper Val Pusteria, finally leading in the realm of the magnificient pale mountains: the Dolomites.
The whole route is served by the gem of our soft-mobility-concept: the coloured, comfortable, eco-friendly and barrier-free trains of the Venosta and Pusteria line, which will bring you home in total relax after a ravishing immersion in the heart of our amazing region.
