Bike tour St. Leonhard/S. Leonardo - Stuls/Stulles - Moos/Moso - St. Leonhard/S. Leonardo
Short and very varied circular tour near San Vigilio, between the meadows and fields of the many mountain farms and adjoining woods.
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.
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.
Bikemobil Card:
This combi ticket can be used for all public transport (bus, train, lift facilities) in all of South Tyrol. In addition, on one day of your choice, you can also hire a bike at one of the numerous borrow-a-bike stations with the ‘Südtirol Rad’ symbol (Bike South Tyrol). Borrowed bikes can be returned at any of the ‘Südtirol Rad’ borrow stations. A fabulous way to discover South Tyrol!
Bike tour Riffian/Rifiano - Vernuer/Vernurio - Riffian/Rifiano
The tour starts at the Bike Academy Infopoint and leads uphill to the Mitterberg Fortress. After a short, rather crisp climb, the route then goes in the direction of the alpine pastures on a relatively flat terrain. After about 20 minutes you reach the so-called "Saumahd" (1,750m), where you turn left to the Klammbach Alp. A wide forest path connects the Klammbach Alp with the Nemes Alp, which is the next destination of the tour. As a small highlight, however, you can also choose hiking trail no. 13. This trail is a little more demanding in parts, with a short carrying passage of approx. 100m. Before reaching the Nemes Alp, take trail no. 146 to the Coltrondo Alp. From there the 149 leads in the direction of the Kreuzbergpass. This initially runs along a demanding trail (S2), which can, however, be bypassed via the so-called "Krötensee". Then you take the forest road to the Nemes Alp/ Coltrondo Alp junction, where hiking trail no. 130 leads in the direction of "Schwarzsee". From there it's an exciting, partly challenging trail, called “Wurzelweg”, which leads you back to the valley station of the Drei Zinnen cable car.

South Tyrol is a paradise for cyclists: well-developed bike paths, gentle hills, idyllic vineyards, and charming historic towns make every tour a unique experience. Five of Italy’s most beautiful villages, recognized as “Borghi più belli d’Italia”, are located in South Tyrol: Castelrotto, Egna, Glorenza, Chiusa, and Vipiteno.
This collection takes you on a cycling journey to these historic places, each full of winding alleys, centuries-old architecture, and a truly special atmosphere. The routes lead you along peaceful river valleys, through lush vineyards and orchards, and across rolling hills with stunning panoramic views. You’ll ride past ancient castles, under arcades, and over cobbled streets that whisper stories from the past.
The small squares and charming corners are just some of the highlights of these beautiful village centers. Whether you're an active cyclist or simply looking to relax and enjoy the landscape, these tours perfectly combine nature, culture, and pleasure. Hop on your bike, discover South Tyrol’s most beautiful borghi, and experience the region from a whole new perspective!
By the way: you can ride the full route as a multi-day tour, or explore each stage as a day trip – depending on how much time you have.

You’ll find tips for getting to each day tour in the individual descriptions.
