Bike Tour Auer- Fleimstalbahn- San Lugano

Old Val di Fiemme railway linePhoto: Thomas Monsorner, Südtirols Süden
This bike tour follows the trackbed of the former Fleimstalbahn railway, which was built during the First World War, serving primarily to transport goods until 1936. It began in Ora/Auer and ran to the town of Predazzo. The stretch from Ora to San Lugano is still in good condition and is easy to ride. The bike tour leads through historic villages, wonderful vineyards - right through the Pinot Noir heart of Pinzon/Pinzano and through Auer/Ora, the home of the Lagrein - the wonderful mountain landscape of the Trudner Horn/Monte Corno Nature Park and is particularly rewarding because of the unique view of the South Tyrolean lowlands.
Author’s recommendation
- Walk through the historic wine village of Pinzon.
- San Lugano Pass is an ideal place for a short break and to enjoy the surrounding mountain scenery.
