8-day Self-guided Cycling Tour Innsbruck to Verona (Level 1)
If you can enjoy the highlights of two countries at once during a cycle tour, then you've done everything right. The lively old town in Innsbruck, the episcopal city of Brixen, the Domplatz in Trento or the idyllic village of Auer - this tour simply has it all. On top of that, there are magnificent views, historic cycle paths, cultural insights and the wonderful culinary delights of Italy and Austria. Join us on this grandiose tour!
Beautifully maintained bike paths follow the river valleys of the Eisack, Inn, and Adige. From Verona onward, you’ll mostly ride on quiet country roads. Thanks to the transfer over the Brenner or Reschen Pass, the route features a total descent of about 1,300 meters (4,265 feet). Expect only occasional short climbs, such as near Lake Caldaro or before Verona.

Arrival in Innsbruck
Discover the famous old town of Tirol’s capital, Innsbruck, with its Stadtturm and the iconic Goldenes Dachl. Stroll through the narrow streets and along the Inn River, savor the traditional Tiroler Gröstl, and get a behind-the-scenes look at ski jumping at the Bergisel. An info session and bike handover complete the start of your journey.
Innsbruck – Bressanone approx. 55km + Transfer
After breakfast, you’ll transfer to the Brenner Pass. From the small border town of Brenner, you’ll follow the Eisack River to the quaint village of Gossensass. Soon after, you’ll arrive in Sterzing, the once mighty city of the Fugger family. The route continues through Thumberg, past the beautiful Reifenstein Castle, Stilfes, and Mittewald, leading you to Franzensfeste with its famous fortress. The bike path then takes you past the peaceful Vahrner See, through Vahrn, and finally to the bishop’s city of Bressanone, your destination for the day.
Bressanone – Bolzano approx. 40km
This stage also follows the Eisack River, starting through the charming town of Klausen and continuing to Waidbruck. Here, enjoy a stunning view of Trostburg Castle! The valley narrows as you approach the basin of Bolzano. Look forward to a city where two cultures meet—there’s so much to see and experience. The Waltherplatz, the arcaded streets, and of course the Archaeological Museum with Ötzi, the Iceman, are absolute must-sees.
Bolzano – Ora approx. 30km
The route to Auer takes you past sprawling orchards and vineyards. Be sure to sample the fine wines that flourish along the South Tyrolean Wine Road, especially in your overnight stop of Ora. Before that, you’ll pass through the wine village of Appiano, with views frequently drawn to castles, palaces, and ruins perched high above the route. The Kalterer See (Lake Caldaro) invites you for a refreshing swim.
Ora – Trento approx. 50km
You’ll cycle along the beautiful paths beside the Adige River and through stunning orchards on your way to Trento. Arriving at Salorno, you reach the end of the German-speaking South Tyrol. From here, distinctive levee paths lead you to Trento, with its charming historic old town. Be sure to stop at one of the cafés on the Piazza del Duomo and visit the impressive Buonconsiglio Castle.
Trento – Ala/Rivalta approx. 45-60km
As the Etsch Valley narrows, the rocky mountain ridges draw closer, where magnificent castles have stood watch for centuries over one of Italy’s key trade routes. Along the way, take time to explore the historic town of Rovereto and the charming Mozart town of Ala. The bike path then leads you onward to Rivalta.
Ala/Rivalta – Verona approx. 50-65km
The final stage takes you to the enchanting city of Romeo and Juliet—Verona awaits! With only a few stops along the way, you’ll follow the well-maintained cycle path alongside the Etsch River. Treat yourself to pizza, pasta, and gelato to celebrate the end of your journey, and enjoy a leisurely stroll through the charming old town streets.
