A bike season lasting from March to November, about
300 days of sun a year, fantastic panoramic landscapes, and hosts and Bike School that know what they are talking about: We can highly recommend
Merano & environs for a mountain-bike, road bike or trekking bike vacation.
Merano & environs is truly varied: there are blooming orchards in the valley, while alpine and high-alpine landscapes await you in Val d'Ultimo/Ultental.
Avelengo/Hafling and
Scena/Schenna offer plenty of panoramic landscapes and tour options, just like
Naturno/Naturns,
Plaus and
Rablà/Rabland. Regardless of the bike type you prefer: you will be surprised about the large number of tour proposals that the
South Tyrolean BikeHotels and the
Bike Schools can offer.
Highlights for a road bike, pleasure or mountain-bike vacation in Merano & environs:
- The road bike highlights Passo del Rombo/Timmelsjoch, Passo di Monte Giovo/Jaufenpass, and Passo delle Palade/Gampenpass
- The trail area surrounding Naturno and Rablà
- The apple blossom in spring – attractive for pleasure cyclists
- "Törggelen" – Thanksgiving for lovers of traditional South Tyrolean cuisine
- The organisational talent of the South Tyrolean bike hosts and Bike Schools – you won't have to think about anything!
