When it comes to mountain biking and cycling there are few better places than the region of Meran and environs...
There are unlimited possibilities in Algund and the surrounding areas for discovering its beautiful landscape on a bike, while doing something for your health at the same time. Whether you make your way through vineyards or orchards, with your sports or road bike, or whether you ride along forest roads and across Alpine meadows on your mountain bike, there is something for everyone and for every grade of difficulty.
A must for cyclists is the cycle path along the old Roman Emperor road, called the Via Claudia Augusta. A part of this route runs along the Vinschgau Valley from the Reschen Pass to Algund near Meran and from there further south, constantly along the Etsch River. This is a true paradise for cyclists. Along the road, there are numerous villages with many places worth visiting and places to stop for a bite to eat. Thanks to the AlgundCard, all guests of our hotels in Algund can profit from the combination train+bike: you can take the modern Vinschger railway, get out at the station you prefer and cycle back to Algund.
