Gita in bici di un giorno da Innsbruck a Bressanone

Kick off your ride in the heart of Innsbruck, the “Capital of the Alps,” full of colorful houses, historic streets, and epic mountain views. Heading south toward Brixen (Bressanone in Italian), you’ll pedal across about 111 km of mostly paved roads, weaving through some of the most scenic mountain landscapes Tyrol and South Tyrol have to offer.

This route puts your legs to the test, serving up over 3100 meters of climbing and nearly as much descent – so be ready for some long, steady hauls up alpine passes and thrilling downhills. Expect a varied mix of surfaces, but it’s mostly smooth: quiet roads and cycleways make up most of the ride, with just a few stretches on busier tarmac and minor tracks.

Arriving in Brixen, you’ll roll into one of South Tyrol’s oldest towns, famous for its medieval old town and centuries-old cathedral. Grab a gelato or an espresso and soak up the mix of Austrian-Italian vibes—your well-earned reward after a real alpine cycling adventure!
