Brixen – based in one hotel: Cycling in the Valleys of South Tyrol

Embark on a scenic bike ride along the former railway track from Bressanone to Bolzano. Glide through the medieval town of Chiusa, passing the historic Monastery Säben. As you cycle through the narrowing valley, the lush vineyards of Italy's northernmost wine region unfold before you. Upon reaching Bolzano, explore the arcades, visit the fascinating Ötzi Museum, and relax at Piazza Walther before returning to Bressanone by train.

After a short shuttle transfer to Elvas, cycle through picturesque villages on gently rolling terrain. Enjoy panoramic views of the Pusteria and Isarco valleys as you pedal through lush orchards. On your return, visit the Augustinian Abbey of Neustift, home to the world's smallest Bible, and immerse yourself in its rich history.

Travel by train to the Brenner Pass, then cycle along the river Isarco through the quaint village of Gossensass to the historic city of Vipiteno. Enjoy a leisurely break before continuing downhill to explore the majestic Castle Reifenstein and the renowned Franzensfeste Fortress. Conclude your day with a scenic ride back to Bressanone.

Cycle slightly uphill to the serene Lake Varna, where you can rejuvenate at the Kneipp facility. With a shorter route today, take advantage of the Bressanone Card's offerings, including cable car rides, museum visits, and guided tours, to enrich your experience.

Take a train to the Pusteria Valley, starting your ride in Brunico. Follow the river Rienz on a gentle downhill path, passing the verdant Olang Reservoir. Visit the local history museum in Brunico before continuing through the lower Pusteria Valley, eventually returning to Bressanone.
