Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Bolzano à Merano

Set off from Bolzano, the vibrant capital of South Tyrol, with its charming medieval center and stunning mountain backdrops. The route to Merano is an absolute treat for cyclists: nearly 32 kilometers of mostly paved surfaces, with a whopping 64% dedicated cycleway and barely any busy roads.

You’ll cruise northwards through the lush Adige Valley, passing vineyards, apple orchards, and tiny Alpine villages—classic South Tyrol scenery. There’s just a gentle climb of about 105 meters, so it’s a pretty relaxed ride, perfect for taking in the mountain views and maybe stopping for a gelato.

Your journey ends in elegant Merano, famous for its spa culture, Belle Époque architecture, and palm-lined promenades. It’s a fantastic place to rest tired legs and soak up some sun. If you’re lucky, you might catch one of Merano’s iconic festivals or markets on arrival. Enjoy the ride!
