In recent years, biking has become a real trend sport. Some love fast-paced trails with steep turns and jumps, while others enjoy long tours with scenic rest areas.

Around lakes, over alpine pastures, on peaks

Whether in spring, summer or fall - South Tyrol offers suitable tours for an unforgettable vacation on two wheels throughout the entire biking season. There's a wide network of shady forest trails that protect you from the sun and are perfect for an enjoyable tour, or tricky single trails and bike park lines for the sporty excursions. Numerous mountain railroads are available to help mountain bikers ride uphill.

The variety of excursion destinations is impressive: it ranges from rugged mountain peaks and gentle alpine pastures, to narrow gorges and wide summit plateaus, to tiny mountain huts and sweeping panoramic terraces. The culinary spectrum is not neglected either - but here the reputation of Italian cuisine has long since extended beyond the country's borders anyway.

Sport and pleasure are not mutually exclusive

Nowhere else is Mediterranean and Alpine cuisine so harmoniously combined and refined as in South Tyrol. And after a long day on the bike, typical local dishes like Schlutzer, dumplings and coleslaw, risotto with apple persimmon or linguine with basil pesto taste twice as good.
