The Adige Bicycle Path
Through the orchards and vineyards of South Tyrol
Individual tour and guided group tour 8 days/7 nights – approx
310 km by bike
 |
|
From the North Tyrol Inn Valley by bike to Landeck. The
bus will bring riders up to Nauders on the Reschenpaß/ Resia
Pass. From the road there is mostly downhill.
More than 1100m altitude difference between the
Reschenpaß/Resia
Pass and Meran/Merano. While you enjoy the marvellous
view over the eternal glittering ice world of
the Ortlés mountain range, you are caressed by the rays of the
shines here most of the time. Not
only bikeriders enjoy this favourable climate: fruit
and vine thrive here splendidly. Corresponding to that,
the vineyards and orchards spread. You bike
right through the middle. The Àdige
rushing into the valley is your guiding line. People
have felt well here over the centuries. The numerous
places of interest from all epochs along
the way through Schlanders/Silandro, Meran/Merano and
Kaltern/Caldaro to Bolzano give evidence of this.
Cycle tracks in the river valleys of the Inn
and the Àdige. From Landeck to Reschenpaß/Resia Pass bus
transfer. Between the Reschenpaß/Resia Pass and Bolzano there
is more than 1200 metres difference in altitude.
There are still some along to keep the route.
Car park garage near the
hotel of departure in Innsbruck (about € 45
each week, payable on the spot). Unguarded parking
lots for free by the stadium.
To Innsbruck by train or by mini bus (€40 per person, bike included,
payable on the spot, limited number of places,
booking recommended), every Saturday.
