Cycling in Silandro and Lasa

Ideal starting points for adventurous cycling tours

The two towns of Silandro/Schlanders and Lasa/Laas, in the center of the Venosta Valley holiday region, are an ideal starting point for wonderful cycling experiences. An area with 300 sunny days a year and with the least amount of rain in the Alps, invites you to go for extended bike tours.

The 80 km long Adige Cycle Route along the old Roman road Via Claudia Augusta is particularly popular among moderate cyclists. The way runs from Resia Lake in the North to the spa town of Merano/Meran. It runs through Burgusio/Burgeis with a view of the Monte Maria Abbey, through Malles/Mals with its seven Romanesque churches, through the medieval town of Glorenza/Glurns, the marble town of Lasa/Laas and also past the ancient St. Proculus church in Naturno/Naturns with its pre-Carolingian frescos.

With the "Train and Bike" offer and the bikemobil Card, cyclists can also use the Venosta Valley train with their bike and its associated bike rental stations at various train stations. This way, nothing stands in the way of fun on two wheels.

Via Claudia Augusta Part 1: From Reschensee Lake to Merano

General description

The Adige cycling Trail runs along the ancient Roman road Via Claudia Augusta, in some parts flat in others downhill. The excellent network of cycle paths in the Vinschgau Valley allows for relaxed cycling on good surfaces, either asphalted or gravelled and rolled. The Adige Cycling Tour is particularly popular for moderate cyclists. There are different stations where it is possible to rent bicycles and return them in some other stations. So there is no need to bring your own bike. Simplify the tour and jump with the bike on the Vinschger Train at any time.

Route description

Starting in Reschen, the cycle path runs past the tower in the lake, along the shore of Haidersee Lake, via Burgeis with a view of Mals with its seven Romanesque churches, through the medieval town of Glurns. Here the route continues flat via Prad, the entrance gate to the Stilfserjoch National Park, through the marble village of Laas, downhill to Göflan and through orchards to Latsch. From Latsch, the route continues past Kastelbell Castle and the early Christian Proculus Church in Naturns and ends in Meran.
