Cycling through Tyrol, between Austria and Italy!

06 a 14 de setembro 2025

The Tyrol region lies between southern Austria and northern Italy. 

Tyrol is a historical region with a very complex political territorial division that includes the state of Tyrol in Austria and the province South Tyrol in Italy (also called Alto Adige). South Tyrol, together with the province of Trento, forms the autonomous region Trentino-Alto Adige.

Many inhabitants of this region migrated to Brazil. We can say that Tyrol is the cradle of Italian and Austrian immigration in Brazil. Many of our ancestors came from here. 

The majority of the population is German-speaking, with just over a quarter speaking Italian as their mother tongue and a small minority speaking dolomite ladin.

Although this is a mountainous region, we will ride without much effort! I will summarize each daily route briefly so that you can understand that the routes are easy and also why.

Accommodation in Innsbruck

Day 2: Innsbruck to Imst

In the morning we received our bikes and set off along this clear river.

The Inn River cycle path measures 518 kilometers from St. Moritz in Switzerland to Passau in Germany.

Our route covers a few kilometers of this international bike path, surrounded by towering mountains, and yet it is almost a completely flat.

Leaving Innsbruck we will first cycle to the famous monastery of Stams. Here we can't help but take a break to visit and have lunch.

After lunch we continue cycling gently uphill, passing through a beautiful pine forest and we can also visit the recently renovated Roman Baths. The landscape is simply breathtaking.

The route continues along the increasingly narrow Inn river valley to Imst.

In the evening we can enjoy the tranquility of this area nestled between the mountains.

  • Distance: 65 km
  • Uphill: 363 m
  • Downhill: 136 m

Day 3: Imst to Nauders

Após um café da manhã bem fortalecido, pedalamos de Imst até Nauders. 

 De Imst vamos te levar a um dos lugares mais altos da região.  Sempre rodeados de montanhas que nos impressionam por sua beleza, pontes e vilarejos que contam histórias, rios de águas cristalinas vamos pedalar por um cenário de conto de fadas. E hoje temos uma parte do trajeto mais exigente com uma subida de boa subida, mas não se preocupe: se você preferir, temos a van de apoio para te dar assistência.

E de lá do alto, de um lado vemos as geleiras altíssimas ao lado de lagos de montanha e pastagens idílicas e, um pouco mais abaixo, muitos pomares e prados verdes. Logo adiante está a cidadezinha de Nauders.

Nauders está localizada a 1.400 metros acima do nível do mar, rodeada de belas montanhas onde vamos passar a noite. Um merecido sossego e o friozinho das montanhas.

Enjoy your first night in South Tyrol, or "Alto Adige".

  • Distância: 50 km + transfer
  • Subida: 500 m
  • Downhill: 114 m

Day 4: St. Nauders to Merano

 Começamos o dia com ar puro das montanhas, pegamos nossas bicicletas e pedalamos até o Lago di Resia, No lago de Récia teremos um dos mais famosos motivos fotográficos do Tirol do Sul – a torre afundada da igreja de Altgraun, que ficou submersa e cuja torre se projeta do lago. Com certeza teremos tempo suficiente para descansar e tirar muitas fotos nesse lugar pitoresco.

 We continue along a beautiful cycle path to Mals and Glurns, the smallest town in the Alpine region, with its perfectly preserved medieval walls. A short transfer will take us to Schlanders, from where we continue by bike to our destination of the day, Merano.

 Hoje vamos atravessar todo o Vale Venosta até Merano, 350 m acima do nível do mar. Grande parte do tempo vamos seguir o curso do rio Ádige.

 Merano é uma cidade badalada cidade da época da aristocracia austro-húngara, rodeada em grande parte por uma flora subtropical. Que tal aproveitar e fazer uma caminhada noturna pelo calçadão Passer?

  • Distance: 65 km
  • Uphill: 82 m
  • Descida: 1.042 m

Day 5: Merano

Se hoje você quer descansar, não se preocupe, você pode aproveitar um dia num spa, simplesmente não fazer nada ou, como alternativa, fazer compras nas famosas galerias de Merano.

Opção de atividade não vai faltar: teremos a oportunidade de andar de bicicleta no vale Passeier e podemos visitar o local de nascimento do lutador pela liberdade do Tirol, Andreas Hofer. Como alternativa, podemos caminhar pela famosa trilha Tappeiner.  Seja qual for a nossa decisão a paisagem extraordinária encantará.

Merano is home to some of the best apples in Europe.

Distância: 35 km (opcional)

2nd overnight stay in Merano

Day 6: Merano - Bolzano - Appiano

Today's route will take us through Lana to Bolzano, the capital of South Tyrol, and then on to the vineyard region.

There are many attractions along the way today. The panoramic view during the ascent with the cable car to Soprabolzano/Renon is divine.

The region also has much to offer in culinary terms: asparagus in Terlan, tasty chestnuts in Nals, and, of great importance, excellent wines that seduce many palates.

A well-deserved stop in Bolzano to grab a cup of coffee and enjoy the cheerful, relaxed atmosphere in the busy pedestrian zone.

Then we'll continue along the South Tyrolean Wine Route, passing several vineyards, orchards and many fortresses, castles and ruins.

We pedal along the famous "Wine Route" of the South Tyrol region. Vineyards, ancient castles, small lakes and small traditional villages will accompany us on our short trip, which is a round trip today.

There are many vineyards throughout the region and a beautiful landscape. We ride the first few kilometers through the vineyards of Appiano, climbing slightly to Caldaro and from there, we descend to the idyllic lake of the same name. Lake Caldaro is inviting. How about a dip?

We'll also visit a small winery, where we'll have the chance to learn a lot about wine production. Of course, we also need to taste them! Appiano, or Eppan in German, is an exceptional region.

And tonight we'll have our farewell dinner at a local restaurant.
