The 23 km long circular bike tour leads through some of the most famous and most beautiful historical wine villages on the South Tyrolean Wine Road, Cornaiano/Girlan, Appiano/Eppan, and Caldaro/Kaltern, well-known for their Pinot Blanc the autochthonous Kalterer See wine.

Route: the shortest of the three wine routes begins in Caldaro in the square in front of the two large wineries, the Kellerei Kaltern and the Erste + Neue Kaltern. The route then leads through a section of forest to the two Montiggler Seen lakes. Continue on to Cornaiano, a historical wine village featuring underground cellars that take up more space than the village itself. The next stages are San Paolo/St. Pauls and San Michele/St. Michael, the actual centre of the Appiano castle region. A visit to the wineries in this outstanding wine region is really worthwhile. The wine route now leads back to Caldaro by the lake, famous not only for the wine named after the Kalterer See, but also because it is one of the most well-known wine villages in the province.

The mountain bike tour from Jägerrast to the historic Eishof is one of the most scenic routes in the Texel Group Nature Park. Set within the wild beauty of the Pfossental Valley, the trail leads through one of South Tyrol’s most unspoiled alpine landscapes.
Starting at the Jägerrast inn (approx. 1,700 m), the tour follows a wide and well-maintained alpine road that climbs gently into the valley. The ascent is moderate, while the scenery becomes more impressive with every turn: rushing streams, blooming alpine meadows, and rustic huts line the way.
After about 300 meters of elevation gain, the destination is reached: the Eishof, located at 2,069 meters and one of the oldest alpine farms in South Tyrol. Surrounded by towering peaks, this quiet alpine refuge is open in summer and offers traditional South Tyrolean food – a perfect spot to rest, refuel, and reconnect with nature.

The Fanes-Sennes MTB tour leads from San Vigilio along the narrow, 13-kilometer road, slightly uphill to the Pederü Hut in the Fanes-Sennes-Braies Nature Park. Here, a partially steep and somewhat bumpy gravel path begins, leading to the Fanes Hut and further to the Limo Pass. Lake Limo is a particular highlight on this stretch of the route. The track then continues downhill towards Cortina d'Ampezzo. Shortly before the parking lot in Fiames, the partially steep, paved road leads up to the Malga Ra Stua Hut and further to the Sennes Hut. Afterwards, we descend to the Fodara-Vedla and Pederü alpine huts, and from there we return to San Vigilio.

The starting point of this tour is the parish church in San Vigilio and after a short climb you turn right and cover the first few kilometres on the paved road San Vigilio - Pederü. A special highlight on this stretch is the idyllic Kreidesee lake, which invites you to linger for a while. You then follow the road to Fodara Masaronn, where you have the option of taking the new cycle path or continuing on the paved road until you reach your destination, Pederü. You can stop for refreshments at the Pederü mountain inn there before taking the same route back to San Vigilio.

The Rit tour starts in Pikolein and offers a varied route of approximately 25 kilometers. The trail initially leads along paved roads through the picturesque valley before turning into gravel sections through dense forests and meadows. Along the way, impressive viewpoints await you, including views of the majestic Dolomites and the idyllic Gader Valley. A recommended place to stop for a break is the Fanes mountain hut, where you can enjoy regional delicacies and a cozy atmosphere.

This tour around the Piz de Plaies starts at the church square in San Vigilio. From there you first follow the Strada Valiares and later past the Sarjei farm to Jù.

From there, you have an impressive view of the valley below and a beautiful descend along the paved road to Pikolein begins. The route then continues along the state road of Val Badia, first reaching Zwischenwasser and then cycling back to the starting point in San Vigilio.

The Southern Wine Route is a cycling tour of approximately 40 kilometers through the southernmost wine-growing regions of South Tyrol. It starts in the historic wine village of Kurtatsch/Cortaccia and passes through Margreid/Magrè, Kurtinig/Cortaccia, and Salurn/Salorno, the southernmost municipality of South Tyrol. The route then continues to Neumarkt/Egna and Auer/Ora before returning to Kurtatsch.

From the car park at Piazza H. Schweiggl in Cortaccia, the route leads to Penone and then to Hofstatt and Corona. From here, you will reach the Giogo di Coredo, where there is a wonderful panoramic view near the Kuhlegerhütte hut (not run). From there, continue on to Malga Rodezza (open in summer). After a break, climb up to the Sella di Favogna saddle to enjoy the splendid view of the nearby Val di Non. From the Sella di Favogna, the trail climbs to Favogna and from there back to Penone and Cortaccia. A strenuous hike with panoramic views.

A bike ride past the main sights of the town and its surroundings

The beginning of our Bolzano bike-tour is the Talvera/Talfer bridge. We follow the cycle-lane along the left-hand bank of the river, going northwards, passing idyllic Castle Mareccio/Maretsch, nestling in the vineyards, up to Sant'Antonio/St. Anton, where the valley begins to narrow, and on to the fairy-tale Castle Roncolo/Runkelstein with its amazing frescoes. After visiting the castle (leave your bike in the bike-park below, before walking up the short but steep path to the castle), you make your way back to the Talfer bridge. At the Piazza Vittoria/Siegesplatz you could visit the new museum-display entitled "BZ 18-45" in the crypt of the Victory Monument. Then we cycle down the Corso Libertá/Freiheitsstrasse to the square of Gries, formerly a village-municipality in its own right and an internationally-renowned spa. The square is dominated by the massive baroque parish church and Benedictine monastery. Nearby is the old parish church of Gries with its romantic cemetery outside and a gem of Gothic wood-carving inside, the beautiful altar by Michael Pacher. From Gries we take the Vittorio Veneto street westwards. For the first 100 metres you will really need to pay attention to the traffic until you hit the cycle lane again. You then pass farms and vineyards before you come to the hospital.  Here the cycle lane forks and you head for the Via Druso/Drususstraße. At the big roundabout follow the signs for Appiano/Eppan as far as the bridge, then take the cycle lane to Castle Firmiano/Sigmundskron and the Messner Mountain Museum. The way back follows the bank of the Isarco/Eisack river, passing below several bridges. After the swimming pool complex we turn left just before the yellow iron bridge, now following the Talvera river until we come opposite the futuristic glass cube of the Museion modern art gallery. We are now back in the town centre, but we have to watch out: the Via Museo/Museumstraße, the Piazza Erbe/Obstplatz and the Piazza Walther Platz are pedestrianized and closed to cyclists, so that means pushing the bike. If you still have got some energy left, you could visit the Ötzi Museum, the Civic museum or the Natural History Museum.

The Alpe di Siusi is probably the most ideal "playground" for bikers who want a relaxed tour combined with breathtaking views of the surrounding Dolomites. Europe's largest high alp offers not only breathtaking panoramas on this tour, but also a great mix of ascents and descents for pleasure bikers.

The Schnaggenkreuz Cross loop route begins in Völs am Schlern and passes by the hamlets of Umes, Völser Aicha and Prösels, offering immense variety and close contact with the surrounding countryside. In Prösels, it is well worth taking a detour to the historic Prösels Castel, which organises fascinating guided tours.   

This easy and family-friendly tour runs on paved roads throughout and starts at the parish church in St. Vigil. From there, you first head to the valley station of the Miara ski lift. From there, turn left onto Kronplatz Street and this route then leads slightly uphill through meadows and forests to Enneberg Pfarre, where you can enjoy a magnificent panoramic view. A highlight for many visitors there is the church with its high Gothic tower, which is still a popular place of pilgrimage today. Before the return journey, you can enjoy food and drinks in the Ostaria Gran Ciasa, which is located opposite the church. Alternatively, there are numerous other places to stop for refreshments along the way back.

From the train station, cycle leisurely along the bike path into the idyllic Pflersch Valley and continue towards the Brenner Pass. Soon, turn left onto the Giggelberger Road, which winds uphill in gentle curves. Along the paved route, you pass blooming meadows and rustic farms until you reach Außergiggelberg – the last farms are already nestled in a stunning mountain backdrop.
Here, a forest road begins, leading further upwards through dense woods and across scenic clearings. Arriving below the Sanjoch, turn right and follow the ridge – accompanied by impressive views of the surrounding peaks – until you reach the Sandjoch. At the top, it’s worth pausing for a moment to take in the tranquility of the mountains.
The return journey follows the same route, offering more beautiful panoramic views down the valley.
