The Adige cycling Trail runs along the ancient Roman road Via Claudia Augusta, in some parts flat in others downhill. The excellent network of cycle paths in the Vinschgau Valley allows for relaxed cycling on good surfaces, either asphalted or gravelled and rolled. The Adige Cycling Tour is particularly popular for moderate cyclists. There are different stations where it is possible to rent bicycles and return them in some other stations. So there is no need to bring your own bike. Simplify the tour and jump with the bike on the Vinschger Train at any time.
Directions
Starting in Reschen, the cycle path runs past the tower in the lake, along the shore of Haidersee Lake, via Burgeis with a view of Mals with its seven Romanesque churches, through the medieval town of Glurns. Here the route continues flat via Prad, the entrance gate to the Stilfserjoch National Park, through the marble village of Laas, downhill to Göflan and through orchards to Latsch. From Latsch, the route continues past Kastelbell Castle and the early Christian Proculus Church in Naturns and ends in Meran.
Public transport
Meran/Merano – Mals/Malles railway line (from June 28 to October 25, 2025): BikeLiner Shuttle Service for bicycle transport
Due to the limited capacity of the Val Venosta/Vinschgau railway, high passenger volumes may occur during peak hours.
Passengers travelling with bicycles from Merano/Meran and Lagundo/Algund to the Val Venosta/Vinschgau are therefore advised to use the dedicated Bikeliner service. This is a minibus with a bike trailer, offering a convenient alternative for transporting bicycles.
The departure times of the BikeLiner shuttle service at Meran/Merano station (bus stop, platform B) are at 9:10 AM, 10:10 AM, 3:10 PM, and 4:10 PM. The bus only stops for drop-offs at Naturns/Naturno, Latsch/Laces, Schalnders/Silandro, Spondinig/Spondigna, and Mals/Malles. Boarding en route is not allowed.
There are 14 bicycle spaces available per trip (including e-bikes),
of which 12 can be reserved. Seats are assigned first to cyclists with a
reservation, then to cyclists without a reservation, and finally to
passengers without bicycles.
Please arrive at least 15 minutes before departure at Merano station, platform B to allow time for bike loading. Late arrivals will result in canceled reservations.
