This scenic ride takes you from the tranquil alpine town of Mals in Upper Vinschgau, all the way down to the palm-lined streets of Merano. Starting at over 1,000 meters above sea level, you'll mostly be gliding downhill, with about 1,060 meters of descent—so get ready to enjoy those long, rolling stretches!

The route is a dreamy mix for cyclists: about 91% is paved, and half the route follows dedicated cycleways, so it’s perfect for relaxing and soaking up the scenery. You’ll pass through historic villages, apple orchards, and vineyards, with the snow-capped Alps as your backdrop. There’s a little bit of gravel here and there (but just enough to keep things interesting), and most traffic is minimal thanks to quiet roads and paths along the Adige River.

Mals is famous for its medieval tower-studded skyline and organic farms. When you reach Merano, treat yourself to local gelato or explore its renowned thermal baths—your legs will thank you!

This route is ideal for anyone looking for a ride that’s as much about the journey as the destination. Pack your camera!

Via Claudia Augusta 5. Clusio - Merano

Cycling route in Mals, Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy

Nach der Kraxelei über die Alpenpässe bietet sich diese Kurzetappe zur Erholung an. Von Schleis sollte man den kleinen Umweg über Mals in Kauf nehmen. Das idyliische Glurns mit seiner imposanten Stadtmauer liegt direkt am Radweg. Gemächlich rollt man durch endlose blühende Obstbaumplantagen. Wer noch Körner übrig hat, kann noch einen Abstecher zum 400 Höhenmeter über Naturns liegenden Castello " Juval" machen (die Packtaschen kann man an der Tourist-Information deponieren). Reinhold Messner hat hier seine interessante Tibetika-Sammlung platziert. Bis zum quirligen Meran ist es dann nicht mehr weit.

Cycling route in Mals, Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy

Man radelt das Etschtal hinab. Glurns bezaubert durch die vollständig erhaltene Stadtmauer, und das Schloss des Bergsteigers Reinhold Messner grüßt von Weitem. In Meran hat man dann endgültig den Süden erreicht. Hier wachsen üppig eine Vielzahl mediterraner und subtropischer Pflanzen.
