Cycling day trip from Glurns to Merano

This beautiful ride takes you from the medieval walled town of Glurns (Glorenza), one of Italy's smallest cities nestled in South Tyrol, all the way to the spa town of Merano. Expect about 60 kilometers of pure cycling enjoyment—almost all on smooth tarmac and dedicated cycle paths—meaning you’ll cruise along comfortably for most of the journey.

You roll gently down through the lush Venosta Valley, passing apple orchards and charming villages. With a net elevation drop of around 600 meters, this route feels like a well-earned treat, especially when you get those sweeping views of the Alps.

Look out for castles along the route and grab a coffee at one of the friendly cafes en route—it’s the perfect way to break up the ride. Once you reach Merano, take time to wander its famous promenade, soak in the art nouveau vibes, or relax at the thermal baths. All in all, this is an unforgettable South Tyrolean ride where you’ll finish more relaxed than you started!
