\"Racing<\/a>Wow. On the bike across the Alps. From the Allg\u00e4u to Lake Garda.<\/em><\/p>\n

This is one of our few trips that combine aspiration and athleticism with the glory of the mountains. In this respect, this beautiful bike trip is a little provocation. Alps and bike. That means climbing, suffering, sweat, joy and freezing. Yes, just as well. But it also means a view, peace of mind and pride in what has been achieved.<\/p>\n

This tour takes you from the Bavarian capital through the Allg\u00e4u, the Wetterstein into the Inn Valley and over the Reschen Pass onto the main Alpine ridge through the lovely valleys of South Tyrol to the sun-drenched Lake Garda<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Beautiful cities like Innsbruck<\/a>, Merano<\/a> and Trento<\/a> are on the way. The courses of the Inn and Adige rivers lead to Lake Garda via Lake Resia and Lake Caldaro. Impressive mountain ranges form an imposing panorama. And from Reschen to Lake Garda, orchards and vineyards characterize the route: from blossom to harvest, it is always cycling season on the southern slopes of the Alps.<\/p>\n

Are you in the mood for cycling and lake and mountains - but less for competitive sports ? <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

We also offer this crossing of the Alps as a pleasure tour<\/a> <\/span>.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Experience the mountains and lakes of the high mountains, the sun of South Tyrol and the vastness of the valleys by bike: the hospitality will inspire you, the magnificent nature will enchant you!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Accommodation<\/h4>\n

You will stay in family and family-friendly 3*** hotels, inns and guesthouses<\/p>\n

Catering<\/h4>\n

every day a rich breakfast is included<\/p>\n

Route and requirements<\/h4>\n

Starting at Munich Central Station, you cycle through the lush meadows along the Bavarian lakes through the Allg\u00e4u foothills of the Alps towards the mountains: Glorious sunshine and a light foehn wind are not guaranteed - but not unlikely. A first climb takes you over the northern ridge past the Karwendel and Wetterstein into the Inn Valley. Follow the well-developed bike path from the Inn Valley through Tyrol and South Tyrol to Lake Garda. <\/span>Discover unique natural and cultural highlights along the way. On this tour, you will cover a total of around 490 kilometers with your <\/span>Bicycle back. <\/span><\/p>\n

You cycle on wonderful cycle paths and small side roads, main roads only on short sections. Small climbs have to be cycled almost every day. The Reschen Pass is challenging, with a gradient of around 1,200 meters to Merano. The route is mainly asphalted, some longer sections are also on well passable natural roads. <\/span><\/p>\n

Numerous farm roads allow you to cycle largely car-free between the orchards and vineyards in peace and enjoyment. If you like, we will bring you by transfer from the Inn Valley to the Reschen Pass. You will then ride rapidly downhill for 1,200 meters in altitude. In between, there are smaller climbs every now and then.<\/p>\n

The trip is not suitable<\/strong> for persons with reduced mobility. Please contact us for detailed information if needed.<\/p>\n
