Italian Alps & Sud Tyrol

A Leisurely Spin through the Alps to Lake Garda
Italian and German cultures blend on a spectacular roll along the Adige River and the western Dolomites. Cyclists of all abilities will enjoy this scenically diverse tour that also features a spin along the famous Strada del Vino, stops in tiny villages, winetastings and a downhill cruise to medieval Lazise.
Day 1–2: Glorenza
In Bolzano, board a group shuttle to our mountain hotel. Then, join our warm-up ride to the open fields below Ortles Mountain. On day 2, we'll bike along the picturesque eastern shore of Lake Resia.
Day 3: Merano
With high mountains and ancient castles watching over us, we ride in the valley along the Adige River in a magic alpine atmosphere. Most of the itinerary is on country roads, often closed to traffic, winding through apple orchards, pastures and forests.
Day 4–5: Bolzano
Follow the Adige River back to Bolzano, a charming town rich with medieval architecture. We'll pass through many small villages along the way. Day 5 is sure to be unforgettable. We take a cable car from Bolzano to reach the Renon Plateau, which we then traverse through wide fields and splendid forests. We'll picnic in the company of beautiful Avelignesi horses and... Tibetan llamas. In the afternoon, we'll visit Otzi, the 5600 year old mummy, now housed in an Archaeological Museum. Cap off this wonderful day with our first winetasting!
Day 6: Trento
Ride past vineyards, orchards, rivers and the lovely Lake Caldaro on the Ciclopista del Sole (meaning "bike path of the sun"). Following a trip to a bicycle factory, we'll then enter Trento, an ancient Roman city.
Day 7–8: Riva del Garda & the Sarca Valley
Pedal along the Adige River through a sea of vineyards, to Italy's Lake District. We'll stop in culturally diverse Rovereto, built around a Venetian castle. Day 8, ride on back roads to Arco and the Sarca River Valley - Italian paradise for outdoor sports and activities. Enjoy a local lunch and wine tasting and learn about the "slow food" products at a renowned Pedrotti restaurant.
Day 9: Arrivederci!
We bid you a fond farewell and shuttle you to the Rovereto train station. Why not spend a couple of days in the fair city of Verona, or head to Venezia for complete sensory immersion?
