Glurns, the smallest town in South Tyrol, captivates with its historic walls, arcades, and hidden gems. This bike tour takes you along the Adige River, past green orchards and rolling vineyards into the picturesque lowlands of South Tyrol. Arriving in Egna, you'll feel the change in scenery: Mediterranean flair meets Alpine scenery – narrow streets, charming wine cellars, and the South Tyrolean Wine Road, home to fine wines. A delightful tour through history and nature.

Although Glurns is accessible by bus, we recommend traveling to Mals if you're traveling by public transport, as you can book bike transport there (bikes cannot be taken on regular buses). From Mals, you can reach the starting point of the tour in about 5 minutes by bike. The train station in Egna is ideal for the return journey.

Laion Bike-Tour

Extremely diverse tour, which really offers everything that makes an eventful MTB route. Different grounds, the change between woods and meadows, views and pleasant shade, and not least the interesting profile with several ascents and descents of different gradients, as well as short flat sections lend this circular tour a unique character. After not quite 12km, there is also the opportunity to tackle a further ascent to one of the two managed cabins, or to choose the descent straight back to Laion/Lajen.

Easy circular tour to the hamlet Pliscia from where the route continues without major differences in altitude along typical scattered rural settlements and back to San Vigilio.

 

 

„Back and forth on the Mitterberg“

Short but not very easy route across the woods in the south of Valdaora/Olang, well-known as a good stretch for training. As both ways are interesting to do, you can find signing in both directions.

The Jerry Line is really easy. Jerry, the creator of the line who also gave it its name, has never designed it too steep, never too rough and never to tight: It is simply ideal for beginners and kids. There are only 300 metres of difference in elevation from the trailhead to the trail end, but in between are 4.2 km trail fun for the whole family.

 

Level of difficulty: Green – very easy
Novice-friendly line with soft bends and flowing route. There are no artificial obstacles or jumps, the line is also suitable for children. Basic knowledge of mountain bikes required.

The bike tour from Egna to Castelrotto offers fantastic views and a truly unique experience of South Tyrol’s landscape. From Egna, you’ll cycle along the scenic South Tyrolean Wine Road. Your destination, Castelrotto, is a charming village nestled at the foot of the Dolomites. Its historic center, with narrow alleyways and a striking church tower, invites you to soak in the local atmosphere. From here, you’ll enjoy breathtaking views of the surrounding Dolomites – well worth every bit of effort along the way.

The starting point is easily accessible by train, and bikes are allowed on board. Unfortunately, buses do not transport bicycles. We recommend continuing from Castelrotto to Ponte Gardena (see Castelrotto–Vipiteno tour) to catch the train back from there.

This mtb-route on the Ritten starts in Maria Saal and leads to Bad Siess and on to Tann. There the route joins mtb-route 393. No technical demands, mainly on roads with little traffic and forest paths.

The first stage of this racing bike tour is relatively flat, with little elevation gain. However, a rapid gain in elevation must be achieved after leaving St. Leonhard/S. Leonardo. A few tunnels and switchbacks bring you to the Schönau restaurant at km 18. After a brief stop to catch your breath, head uphill via the steepest section of the tour on seemingly endless switchbacks beginning at the Timmelsbach bridge.
If you can make it up the last 10 challenging kilometres, 1km through the last and unlit tunnel must be completed before reaching the pass. From the Timmelsjoch, the route either continues to Austria or back into the Passeiertal valley on the route you came up by.
The Timmelsjoch is amongst the toughest passes in the Alpine region – the 30 kilometres feel long and an uncomfortably large portion is uphill.
The road surface, however, is fantastic and the reward for your pain is a magnificent view.

In 2020, the first MTB training park of the holidayregion 3 Zinnen Dolomites has opened in Sexten. It is located at the valley station of the Three Peaks cable car and offers training routes for beginners as well as for advanced mountain bikers.

For a little refreshment in between, the Zin Fux restaurant is located directly at the bike park.

Tom Pro and Co. literally rolled up their sleeves when constructing the Palm Pro Line: It is hand built from top to bottom and a dream for fans of challenging lines. The line challenges advanced riders with some features, jumps and steeper passages. The length of 2.5 km is more than impressive for a hand-built line. The Palm Pro Line is one the most difficult lines in Brixen Bikepark and its name stands for the breathtaking view from Palmschoß to the UNESCO world heritage of the Dolomites.

 

Level of difficulty: Red – intermediate
Line built for technically experienced mountain bikers with good braking and cornering technique. Good jumping technique and the ability to master sharp bends is a must. The lines include different types of ground and loose soil.

With the gentle murmur of the Wielenbach stream as your companion, the light climb becomes a pleasure. You’ll be surrounded by the unspoiled beauty of dense forests and pass rustic alpine meadows like Lercher Alm and Heidacher Alm, where the landscape opens up in all its splendor. Here, amidst nature, you can take a well-deserved break, refresh yourself, and, if necessary, recharge your e-bike battery for the final ascent. Upon arrival, a breathtaking panorama awaits, making every breath and pedal stroke worth it. The return is along the same route, offering you another chance to admire the valley’s beauty from a new perspective. This tour through Wielen Valley offers a perfect mix of natural beauty and physical challenge.

The Vinschger railway is ideal for enhancing your cycling experience in South Tyrol. Due to the new Vinschger railway, the Vinschgau region can also now be discovered by a combination of train and bike. The railway connects the garden village of Lagundo aslike the spa town of Meran with the village of Mals. There are six railway stations along the line that offer a bike borrow service (mid April to beginning of November): Meran, Naturns, Latsch, Spondinig, Schlanders and Mals.

Bikes can be hired and returned at different stations. The hire service includes a cycling helmet. For our little guests, who are still too small to cycle by themselves, there are children’s seats available. In addition, there are special tandems and multi-purpose trailers (also for dogs).

Due to the incredible success of bike admittance on trains, there was not enough space on the trains for passengers and bikes. For this reason, restrictions had to be applied at that time. This restriction is still valid at the railways stations of Meran and Algund if you enter with your bike for the journey going towards the Vinschgau region. If this applies to you at some stage, you can use an alternative service: the bike shuttle. This bus runs six times daily from Meran to Mals, i.e. at 9.16 am / 9.46 a.m. / 9.46 a.m. / 10.16 a.m. / 11.16 a.m. / 4.16 p.m. and 5.16 p.m. Afterwards, your bike can be picked up at one of the bike borrow stations of your choice, which are at the following stations: Naturns, Latsch, Schlanders, Spondinig or Mals.

The price of transporting a bike & a person is the same as the price per person, which is EURO 7. A day ticket can be bought at the ticket office.

This combi ticket can be used for all public transport (bus, train, lift facilities) in all of South Tyrol.
