Resia is a picturesque alpine destination beside the famous Lake. Enjoy the surroundings with stunning mountain views and cultural treasures. A special highlight is the submerged church tower in the lake, an iconic landmark captivating visitors from all over the world.

You’ll cycle along Lake Resia, taking in views of the sunken church tower in Graun, before reaching the medieval town of Glurns, renowned for its perfectly preserved city walls. Your journey’s first destination is Schlanders, the vibrant heart of the Vinschgau Valley.

Castles and fortresses, including the renowned Juval Castle—former home of mountaineer Reinhold Messner—dot the route or rise high above it. As you cycle, you’ll be treated to breathtaking views of the majestic Ortler massif and the Stelvio Pass, before gently descending into the tranquil town of Merano, embraced by its lush Mediterranean vegetation.

Two route options lead to Bolzano: one follows the Etsch River, while the more scenic path meanders through orchards via Lana and Eppan. Along the way, you’ll discover the Messner Mountain Museum, housed within the beautifully restored ruins of Sigmundskron Castle. Visiting Ötzi, the Iceman, offers a truly fascinating experience.

Scenic bike paths trace the Etsch River, with stretches meandering through fragrant orchards until you reach Salurn, the point where German-speaking South Tyrol comes to an end. From there, you’ll continue cycling to Trento, famed for its charming historic old town.

First, follow the Etsch River through Rovereto to Mori. From there, the route heads west toward Lake Garda. After a short climb over Passo San Giovanni, you’ll enjoy a downhill ride to the lake at Torbole, continuing on to Riva. A boat awaits you there for a scenic cruise along the full length of the lake.

The final stage takes you through gently rolling vineyards, partly flat, onward to Verona—a city rich in sights. Be sure to visit the Arena, Juliet’s House, and the ancient city walls.
