Cycling through the Most Beautiful Historic Towns of South Tyrol

South Tyrol is a paradise for cyclists: well-developed bike paths, gentle hills, idyllic vineyards, and charming historic towns make every tour a unique experience. Five of Italy’s most beautiful villages, recognized as “Borghi più belli d’Italia”, are located in South Tyrol: Castelrotto, Egna, Glorenza, Chiusa, and Vipiteno.

This collection takes you on a cycling journey to these historic places, each full of winding alleys, centuries-old architecture, and a truly special atmosphere. The routes lead you along peaceful river valleys, through lush vineyards and orchards, and across rolling hills with stunning panoramic views. You’ll ride past ancient castles, under arcades, and over cobbled streets that whisper stories from the past.

The small squares and charming corners are just some of the highlights of these beautiful village centers. Whether you're an active cyclist or simply looking to relax and enjoy the landscape, these tours perfectly combine nature, culture, and pleasure. Hop on your bike, discover South Tyrol’s most beautiful borghi, and experience the region from a whole new perspective!

By the way: you can ride the full route as a multi-day tour, or explore each stage as a day trip – depending on how much time you have. The final stage of the multi-day route follows the same path back to Chiusa, allowing you to enjoy a complete cycling experience each day and explore all of the borghi equally. You’ll find tips for getting to each day tour in the individual descriptions.
