    Glurns, South Tyrol’s smallest town, enchants visitors with its historic walls, arcades, and hidden gems. This bike tour leads you along the Adige River, past green orchards and gentle vineyards, into the picturesque South Tyrolean lowlands. Upon arriving in Neumarkt, you’ll feel the shift in scenery: Mediterranean flair meets Alpine backdrop – narrow alleyways, charming wine cellars, and the South Tyrolean Wine Road, home to some of the region’s finest wines. A delightful ride through nature and history.

    Although Glorenza is accessible by bus, we recommend traveling to Mals if you're using public transport, as you can book a bike transport service there (bikes are not allowed on regular buses). From Malles, it’s just a 5-minute ride by bike to the starting point. For your return journey, Neumarkt’s train station is the ideal option.

    Author’s recommendation

    Make time to visit Merano and discover this charming spa town with its beautiful promenades, gardens, and attractions.
