Cycling day trip from Nauders to Schlanders

Get ready for an unforgettable ride from the Tyrolean mountain village of Nauders down to sunny Schlanders in South Tyrol! Nauders sits right at the Reschen Pass and is surrounded by stunning alpine peaks—so you’re starting with plenty of fresh air and postcard views.

The route covers about 56 km, with a big descent—over 1,500 meters—so your legs can take it easy (most of the time!). You’ll still climb about 800 meters, especially at the beginning, but after that, it’s mostly downhill, cruising through dramatic valleys and along well-paved, mostly quiet roads. Expect a bit of adventure on gravel or dirt sections, but the majority is smooth asphalt.

Schlanders awaits at the end, known for its apple orchards and laid-back Italian vibe. Take a break at a local café and soak in the Mediterranean feel—the perfect finish to this mountain-to-valley ride!
