Among vineyards by bike

The South Tyrol Wine Route, the oldest wine road in Italy, is nestled among endless vineyards that stretch as far as the eye can see from the valley to the slopes. The unique and fascinating wine landscape invites to an exploration by bicycle that often turns into an unforgettable experience. The bike tour proposed (north) leads through orchards and vineyards, along the route of the old railway, as well as through the city of Bolzano at a time of medieval residences and wineries that invite to pleasant stops.
