Cycling paths and MTB routes in Val Venosta

The perfect combination of mountains and valleys: that’s why the area around Laces is known as a top destination for cyclists. The proof of bikers’ passion for this route is demonstrated by the fact that many flow trails have special names like Barbarossa Trail or the 4 gewinnt 13 Trail (the 4-way combined with the 13er) The 170 km of well-marked MTB trails in Laces and the surroundings are winners for the guided tours and refreshment points available. The itineraries are suitable for different degrees of physical preparation: from easy ones such as the one towards Monte Sant'Anna up to the dizzying climb towards San Martino Al Monte.

On the Via Claudia Augusta, an ancient Roman commercial thoroughfare, you can cross the Venosta Valley with ease. The local cycle path, about 80 km long, connects the Resia Pass with the splendid city of Merano and offers several ups and downs along the entire Val Venosta railway route. Racing bike lovers can experience their own cycling adventure to conquer the Stelvio Pass.
