Radfahren

The Val Venosta has the largest network of cycle paths and trails in all the Alps.

Mountain bikers, e-bikers, racing cyclists and leisure riders have long known that they can enjoy their favourite activity here from the beginning of March to the end of November.

The area enjoys a good climate, and the 300-km cycle network between Resia and Merano offers routes to suit everyone: from beginners and lovers of leisure cycling, to experienced and ambitious sportsmen, and professional or racing cyclists.

Advice for cycling enthusiasts

The Via Claudia Augusta, the Val Venosta cycle path
The trail extends from the Resia Pass to Merano and is considered one of the loveliest routes in the Val Venosta. It covers a distance of 83 km, and can be travelled in stages. If you don't want to do the return journey by bike, can use the bike-shuttle service or Val Venosta railway to get back to where you started.
