South Tyrol is a paradise for road cyclists. So much variety in the smallest space and so many possibilities for road cyclists cannot be found everywhere.
Tours up to an altitude of 1,600 metres are already possible from mid to late March, and in the valley you can coil miles and miles in order to train the necessary stamina for the passes. Depending on the current snow conditions, these are also on the tour schedule from the middle to the end of May. Especially in June the Dolomite passes are a dream and much less busy than during the high season in July and August. But don't worry: many BikeHoteliers are even passionate road cyclists know exactly when and where you can be safe and relaxed and still get your money's worth.
Cycling isn't everything. And certainly not in South Tyrol, where sport and pleasure simply cannot be separated. In the BikeHotels Südtirol, racing cyclists not only expect tailor-made tour suggestions, but also the best regional cuisine and harmonious refreshment tips for the road.
The BikeHotels Südtirol have collected some tour tips to inspire you.
