Cycling day trip from Merano to Caldaro sulla Strada del Vino

Hop on your bike for a scenic spin from Merano to Caldaro sulla Strada del Vino! Starting in Merano—a spa town famed for its art nouveau buildings, lush gardens, and Mediterranean vibe—you’ll roll out on smooth cycleways lined with apple orchards and vineyards. This route covers just under 38 kilometers and is perfect if you’re in the mood for relaxed wine-country cruising rather than heart-thumping mountain climbing.

You’ll enjoy great views of the Adige Valley with gradual climbs totaling around 300 meters. Expect most of your ride on dedicated cycle paths and quiet roads, making it perfect for soaking in the scenery. As you reach Caldaro, you’re entering South Tyrol’s wine paradise, known especially for its crisp white wines and picturesque lake.

Don’t forget to park your bike for a glass of local Gewürztraminer or a quick dip in Lake Caldaro if the weather’s warm! It’s a classic South Tyrolean ride: wine, mountains, and that carefree Dolomite breeze.
