Cycling in Silandro and Lasa

Ideal starting points for adventurous cycling tours

The two towns of Silandro/Schlanders and Lasa/Laas, in the center of the Venosta Valley holiday region, are an ideal starting point for wonderful cycling experiences. An area with 300 sunny days a year and with the least amount of rain in the Alps, invites you to go for extended bike tours.

The 80 km long Adige Cycle Route along the old Roman road Via Claudia Augusta is particularly popular among moderate cyclists. The way runs from Resia Lake in the North to the spa town of Merano/Meran. It runs through Burgusio/Burgeis with a view of the Monte Maria Abbey, through Malles/Mals with its seven Romanesque churches, through the medieval town of Glorenza/Glurns, the marble town of Lasa/Laas and also past the ancient St. Proculus church in Naturno/Naturns with its pre-Carolingian frescos.

Your bike always by your side, but under certain conditions.

On public transport, the carriage of bicycles is subject to a charge and limited for reasons of space and safety. The purchase of tickets does not imply a right for a reservation of places for bikes. In the event of overcrowding, the on-board staff reserves the right to refuse access to bicycles.

One-day ticket for bike transport: 7.00 EUR (Day pass).

Via Claudia Augusta Part 1: From Reschensee Lake to Merano

General description

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.
