Day 1: Individual arrival in Brixen

Brixen is one of Tyrol’s oldest towns and for hundreds of years was the residence of Prince Bishops. In Stufels, the listed core of the town, relicts from the Stone Age have been discovered. The magnificent cathedral was where the bishop resided until 1964. The Clarissan convent and the Capuchin monastery are witnesses to the influence of Christianity in the town. Take some time to stroll through the city.

Day 2: Excursion to Alta Pusteria, approx. 65 km + transfer

Today you will take the train to Toblach. From here you will cycle on the well-developed Puster Valley cycle path along the river Rienz. You are now in the heart of the Dolomites, which are characterised by rocks as white as chalk, dark forests and clear turquoise water. Over Bruneck, which is overshadowed by the Bishop´s Castle you will reach the monastery Neustift and from there cycle back to the start point.

Day 3: Brixen – Bolzano, approx. 40 km

You cycle along the Eisack river through vineyards to Klausen. Here it is not a mighty castle which rises above the countryside, but a Benedictine monastery which is still inhabited today. At the end of the stage, you have enough time to explore the provincial capital of Bolzano. Watch the hustle and bustle on Walther Square over a cup of coffee, or take a look at the famous Ötzi Mummy at the archaeological museum.

Day 4: Excursion to Lake Kaltern, approx. 45 km

Today, the Lake Kaltern wine region is on the agenda. Castles and palaces, churches and monasteries, romantic little towns, idyllic bathing lakes and, of course, vineyards, wineries and wine, which you can learn a lot about in the South Tyrolean Wine Museum, lie along the way. Swim in the idyllic Lake Montiggl and visit the mountain museum in Sigmundskron Castle. There is certainly no time for boredom.

Day 5: Bolzano – Meran, approx. 35 / 40 km

Along the wine route, you cross the largest fruit-growing region in South Tyrol. Passing numerous orchards, you come to Andriano, where the oldest winery in South Tyrol is located. Lana is home to the South Tyrolean Fruit Growing Museum. Alternatively, you can also cycle along the dam on the Adige cycle path directly to Meran. Once you arrive in the spa town of Meran, you will be spoiled by the gentle Mediterranean climate. The unique gardens of Trauttmansdorf Castle above the town are well worth a visit.

Day 6: Excursion to the Vinschgau Valley, approx. 60 km + train ride

The reactivated line of the Vinschgerbahn takes you to Mals, the former town of seven towers. Today, only five towers remain. Along the Adige river, you head down into the valley through the Venosta Valley. The wood of the bare Sonnenberg mountain was supposedly used to build Venice. Glurns, one of the smallest towns in the Alps, is also on today's route and impresses with its fully preserved town walls.

Day 7: Meran – Brixen, approx. 35 / 50 km + Transfer

Before the last stage a transfer takes you from Meran to the Jaufen Pass and on to Sterzing. If you wish, you can change to your bike on the Jaufenpass and enjoy the unique panorama during a brisk descent to Sterzing. From the Fugger town of Sterzing you cycle along wonderful cycle paths from the upper Eisack Valley to the former customs station in Franzenfeste.
