Tour description
South Tyrol invites you to discover its beauty on two wheels. Riding along well-maintained cycle paths, you’ll experience the region’s unique character, traditions, and local flavors. The journey leads through unspoiled landscapes with rushing rivers, scenic lakes, and the dramatic backdrop of the mountains, all shaped by centuries of history and culture.
Along the way, you’ll enjoy the famous hospitality of South Tyrol, with its delicious cuisine and excellent wines. The route follows comfortable cycle paths from the eastern Puster Valley and the Dolomites to the regional capital of Bolzano, then continues to Lake Kaltern, the spa town of Merano, and into the picturesque Vinschgau Valley.
Route Overview
This is an easy and enjoyable tour suitable for most riders. In recent years, many valley cycle paths have been modernized or newly built, making the route comfortable and accessible. Although South Tyrol is known for its mountains, this itinerary mainly follows gentle valley paths with only small elevation changes. It is well suited for families with children aged 14 and above.

In the morning, you are transferred from Bressanone to Dobbiaco, where your bikes are provided. Today’s route follows the cycle path through the scenic Puster Valley, passing the entrance to the famous Pragser Valley. Riding along the Rienz River, you continue past the Olang dam and reach the historic town of Brunico. From there, the path leads back through the valley, past the ruins of Mühlbach Fortress, and into the Eisack Valley. Before returning to Bressanone, you can visit the Neustift Abbey and enjoy the town’s beautiful historic center.
Today you cycle along the Eisack Valley bike path, following the river through rolling vineyards known for their white wines. On the way, you pass the picturesque town of Chiusa, a perfect place for a short stop. The day ends in Bolzano, the capital of South Tyrol, where you can stroll under the arcades, relax by the river, visit the famous Ötzi the Iceman in the Archaeological Museum, or enjoy a coffee in one of the lively cafés.

Passing Sigmundskron Castle, you cycle toward Appiano, the largest wine-producing area in South Tyrol, known for its castles, manor houses, and vineyards. Continue toward Caldaro, with an optional detour to the peaceful Montiggler lakes for a swim. After visiting the village and the Wine Museum, you reach Lake Kaltern before returning to Bolzano along the Adige cycle path.
Leaving Bolzano, you follow the famous Wine Road through orchards filled with South Tyrol’s renowned apples. Along the way, you pass through Andriano, home to the region’s oldest winery, and continue through Terlano, Nalles, and Lana. The stage ends in the elegant spa town of Merano. While here, consider visiting the beautiful botanical gardens at Trauttmansdorff Castle.

The electric bikes made the trip a dream and gave us more time to see sites. When we had a couple of issues on the road they sent somebody on a taxi to deliver parts. The accommodations were wonderful, the directions in Ride with GPS were clear and we appreciated the extra tour options to stop and see other sites. We will use them again.

Excellent experience. I traveled alone from Colombia. I took the Prague to Passau tour. Communication was excellent, as was the bike (I requested a gravel bike). The hotels were good, all bike-friendly (they had a designated bike storage area). Highly recommended.

We have used the RidewithGPS app before and found it to be a great asset on this ride too. We highly recommend bike tours.com and their in-country affiliates. William A.

Tour Prague-Krakow FG
My wife and I recently completed a guided 8-day cycling trip from Prague to Krakow. We enjoyed it thoroughly. The scenery was beautiful. The back roads we cycled on were generally quiet with very few motorized vehicles, although cycling through a few towns was a little sketchier. The cycling itself was easy to moderate, averaging just over 60km/day with an average elevation of just over 300...08 Oct

The tour was well organized and the daily routes were interesting. The hotels were also good. Only the hotel in Karlovy Vary was difficult to reach by bike, as the road is very steep and there was very limited parking.07 Oct

Ever since I returned to the U.S. five days ago, from our incredible 12 day biking trip from Prague to Budapest, (a little over 400 miles), I keep telling all my friends and family that it was “the trip of a lifetime!”. Yet, in the back of my mind, I’m thinking, “I want to do this again!” The beauty of that part of the world is mind blowing and so fulfilling! Being able to ride bikes (e-bikes for us 60-somethings) through mountains and valleys, quaint little villages, pedaling along the Danube, and visiting historical (4th century castle!) sites was just breathtaking. Europe Bike Tours made everything possible, seamless and easy to manage. Lukas and his VERY adept team were helpful at every turn. We had complete confidence in them, and are super appreciative of all the help we received during our trip.Thank you for an incredible experience!
