About the route
This cycling tour has been designed especially for e-bikers. Most of the route follows cycling paths, sometimes quiet side roads.

The tour is suitable for children over 14 years.
Itinerary
Here you can see the programme for the tour.
Individual arrival at the hotel in Hochpustertal. Free, unguarded public car park near the hotel.
Hotel (example): Aparthotel Germania***
On the first section of the day, the „Pustertal Cycle Path“ gives you the direction. The river Rienz leads you to the Michael-Pacher town of Bruneck, which invites you for a first rest and a stroll. Back in the saddle, you roll through the ruins of the Mühlbacher Klause towards your destination for today‘s stage, Bressanone.
Hotel (example): Parkhotel Post***
Today, shortly before Brixen, you cycle past the monastery complex of Neustift or the Franzensfeste fortress, both of which invite you to visit. In Bressanone, it is worth taking a walk through the well-kept old town with its arcades and cathedral. From afar you are greeted by the Säben monastery, which stands high above Klausen and you cycle along the Eisack river to Waidbruck, where the view of the Trostburg castle opens up to you. Here the valley narrows and leads you into the Bolzano basin and your destination today, the provincial capital of Bolzano, the city where two cultures meet. There are numerous possibilities for spending the afternoon: a leisurely stroll under the arcades of Bolzano or on the meadows of the valley, a visit to „Ötzi“, the „oldest Tyrolean“ in the archaeological museum, simply enjoying a cappuccino in one of the numerous cafés on Waltherplatz.
Today you follow the Etsch river and leave South Tyrol at the Salurner Klause, the border between German-speaking South Tyrol and Italian-speaking Trentino. South Tyrol and the Italian-speaking Trentino. Fruit trees and grapevines line your path to the former former bishop‘s town of Trento, which will delight you with its inviting old town and Buonconsiglio Castle.
Hotel (example): Grand Hotel Trento
You cycle past lake Caldonazzo which is inviting you for a longer stop. The first part to Caldonazzo is quite steep and can be shortened by taking the train. Through the impressive Valsugana valley the way leads you to Feltre, a small city on the former “Via Claudia Augusta”, an important Roman road from Aquileia to Augsburg in Germany.
train ticket is not included in the price
Hotel (example): Hotel Doriguzzi***
Through leafy forest avenues you reach Belluno, the small capital of the province of the same name. Today‘s route is lined with picturesque little villages that invite you to stop for a while. In the north, your gaze falls back to the mighty southern Dolomites, your companions on your first stages. You continue your way north past Longarone. This village was rebuilt in a very short time after it was flooded by a tidal wave in 1963 following a rock fall at the former Vajont dam. The newly built cycle path leads from Longarone to Pieve di Cadore, today‘s stage destination.
Hotel (example): Park Hotel Villa Carpenada****
Pure nature is the motto of today’s stage. The most important stop of the former Dolomites railway has been Cortina d`Ampezzo surrounded by some of the most famous Dolomites peaks - 1956 Winter Olympics have been celebrated there. Along the track of the former Dolomites railway you reach the border of the region Veneto and get back to South Tyrol. The nature park Drei Zinnen (Three Peaks) on your right and nature park Fanes Sennes
Prags to your left have to show you lots of scenic highlights on this last stage: enjoy the panoramic view on the famous Drei Zinnen (Three Peaks), a Cappuccino or an ice-cream at lake Dürrensee or a boat trip on the emerald green lake Toblacher See.
Hotel (example): Aparthotel Germania***
