Discover the delights of Italy’s South Tyrol region on a tour with leisurely cycling, that follows the Adige river downhill from the mountain town of Bolzano to the twinkling waters of Lake Garda. You’ll cycle through magnificent valleys with immense mountain backdrops, past grand castles, through fragrant vineyards and stop in delightful Alpine towns. With cycle rides between 15-28 miles (25-45km), you’re free to ride at your own pace and take time to explore the charms of north-east Italy.

You’ll notice the distinct blend of cultures, food and language as you cycle from the Austrian/German-influenced north of Italy. Towns including Merano and Trento offer fascinating stops along the way, with an enjoyable mix of established architecture and contemporary culture.
