By bicycle from Graun im Vinschgau to Mals

This ride kicks off in Graun im Vinschgau, famous for its hauntingly beautiful submerged bell tower rising out of Lake Reschen—a must-stop for a photo! From here, you’ll head south toward Mals, winding through 17.8 km of mostly paved roads and quiet tracks. The route serves up a good bit of descent—over 700 meters of it—so you can really enjoy cruising down through the scenic South Tyrolean landscape.

Expect breathtaking alpine views as you pass rolling fields and mountain backdrops. With most surfaces being smooth asphalt, you’ll only encounter occasional gravel patches, perfect for keeping things interesting but nothing too technical.

Your ride finishes in Mals, a charming town at the foot of the Ortler Alps, renowned for its Romanesque church towers and laid-back vibe. Treat yourself to a coffee or gelato at one of the local cafes—you’ve earned it! It’s a lovely ride, with just enough climb at the start to justify the sweeping descent into the heart of the Vinschgau Valley.
