Self-guided Cycling Tour of Lake Reschen to Verona, a 9-day journey starting at Lake Resia near the Austrian border. The tour offers majestic Alpine views, blooming orchards, and vineyards leading through historic towns like Merano and Bolzano, combining Mediterranean flair with South Tyrolean charm. It includes idyllic wine villages such as Auer and Lana, and the cathedral city of Trento. The tour culminates with visits to Lake Garda and culminates in Verona, famous for its Arena and Juliet's House. The tour is characterized as Level 2, meaning cyclists will primarily use beautifully maintained bike paths along the Etsch River, with the remainder of the route on asphalted country roads. The route involves a descent of nearly 1,500 meters from the Reschen Pass to Lake Garda, with only a few short climbs and very brief stretches on busy roads. Included in the tour are 8 nights accommodation in 3*/4* hotels, breakfast, a welcome briefing, luggage transfer, digital travel documents including a navigation app, GPS data, and a route book. A boat ride on Lake Garda including the bike and a service hotline are also provided.

Rental bike and e-bike options are available upon contact with the office. Travel insurance information is provided through a link for global travel insurance and evacuation services. Optional extra nights can be booked in Resia or Verona. The tour is also available in an 8-day/7-night format. Rental bike PLUS is available on request. During peak season, there might be a two-night stay in Silandro instead of Resia/Reschen, with a transfer to the cycling stage start. Arrival and departure information is provided.
