Road bike holiday in Sterzing

Vipiteno is the perfect starting point for racing cyclists: four valleys meet here - and with them a whole host of legendary Alpine passes. Whether it's a basic ride in the valley or chasing metres in altitude on the Penser Joch, Jaufenpass & Co - here, every tour starts right outside the hotel. The imposing mountain backdrop, well-maintained roads and fine places to stop for refreshments ensure a road bike experience that you won't forget in a hurry.

Between pass adventure & valley enjoyment

Italy's northernmost city is a hotspot for ambitious road bikers - and ideal for anyone who loves variety. If you are looking for the really big challenges, all you have to do is pedal: Jaufenpass, Penser Joch and the legendary Timmelsjoch are absolute classics of Alpine cycling - and regular stages of major races such as the Ötztaler Cycle Marathon or the Giro d'Italia. Perfect for altitude acclimatisation, interval training or epic tours into the Dolomites.

But Vipiteno can also be relaxed. Quiet side roads lead through the Eisack Valley along small villages, past castles, mountain pastures and panoramic spots. The well-developed valley cycle path network, including connections to the top routes Munich-Venice and Brennero-Bolzano, offers ideal routes for leisure cyclists. Or the first training week of the season. And best of all: back in Sterzing, espresso, dolce vita and a medieval old town await as a culinary pit stop.
