By Train and Bicycle…

The new Venosta railway line, running from Merano to Malles in the upper Val Venosta 60 km away, is connected to an extensive bicycle-and-hiking-network. There is an outstanding cycling path that leads all the way from Malles to Merano, winding slowly downhill through fruit orchards and picturesque meadows, following the ancient Roman trade route of the Via Claudia Augusta.
Following in the steps of this ancient trade route provides ideal cultural and natural attractions for the bicycling enthusiast. Travelling by train and bicycle along this road through the Venosta Valley is simply the best and most environmentally friendly way to discover the beautiful landscape of Merano and Environs.

Attention:
Currently a new project "bike & rail" is in elaboration. The EventCard ist not available by now.
For your journey in train with your bicycle you have to buy a ordinary ticket for you and an additional one for your bicycle.
