Bike paths in South Tyrol

In the nineties, a network of cycle paths in Alto Adige (in German Radwege) was launched that connect all the main valleys to each other and to neighboring regions, including those of other states (theAustria and the Switzerland).

All the main access roads in South Tyrol are connected with cycle paths, equipped with special bilingual signs. So from the capital Bolzano you reach the borders of South Tyrol, that is: Resia, Brenner, San Candido, val Monastero is Salorno. However, the cycle paths do not end in these border areas, but rather continue in the following provinces or states. In addition to these main paths, there are also other less important ones from a road point of view, but perhaps even more fascinating. For example, there are cycle paths, or are under construction, along the Val di Vizze, along the Val di Landro (cycle path of the Dolomites), along the Sesto valley, along the Val Gardena, along the Val di Sarentino, along the Val Passiria , along the Valle Aurina, along the Anterselva valley, along the Casies valley, and many others.

The cycle path that starts from the Brenner and initially descends along the Isarco valley, until Bolzano, and continues following the Corsa dell'Adige until it joins the cycle path of the Adige Valley is part of the project of cyclopista del Sole, cyclopath that reaches up to Sicily is Sardinia.

Another important cycle path is that of Val Venosta, which starts from the Resia pass and first descends to Merano and finally to Bolzano following the course of the Adige.
