Giro veloce in bici da Bolzano a Caldaro sulla Strada del Vino

If you’re looking for a scenic and enjoyable ride in South Tyrol, the route from Bolzano to Caldaro sulla Strada del Vino is a great pick! Covering just over 16 km, this mostly paved route (96%) takes you south through the lush Adige Valley, with vineyards all around and those gorgeous mountain backdrops.

You’ll start in Bolzano, a vibrant city famous for its mix of Italian and Austrian culture (and, fun fact: it’s home to Ötzi the Iceman!). Most of the ride follows smooth, well-marked cycle paths—about 80% dedicated bike way—so you can just relax and take in the views as you gain a little over 300 meters in altitude.

The route gently climbs as you approach Caldaro, a picturesque village renowned for its wine production (don’t miss a glass of local Kalterersee if you have time). Expect a mix of paths and quiet roads, passing orchards and rolling vineyards. It’s a super ride for anyone looking to blend exercise with a real taste of South Tyrolean life!
