Vilpiano and the entire flat Adige Valley are ideal for easy cycling tours for young and old, also for families with children. You can drive between Bolzano and Merano on a bike path along the Adige and on low-traffic roads through apple fields. Especially in the spring between mid and late April, when hundreds of thousands of fruit trees bloom, cycling is a special experience. An Eldorado for mountain bikers are the surrounding mountains: „Tschögglberg “, „Regglberg“, „Mendelkamm“ and „Ritten“.
Especially popular is the bike tour Vilpian - Terlano - Nals - Andriano, or with the cable car Vilpian-Mölten (wheels may be transported along) on ??the Tschöggelberg, for easy or difficult routes.
Thanks to „Emperor Claudius“ the „Via Claudia Augusta“ had become the first correct road over the Alps, which connected the Adriatic port Altinum with the Danube. Along the cycle route Via Claudia Augusta, the ancient cultural and trade route of the Roman Empire comes to life again. Diversity is their trump card. Cyclists can look forward to an unforgettable mix of landscapes, bustling towns, tranquil villages, hundreds of testimonials to a rich history and their cultures. After that, tempting delicacies from the kitchen and the cellar are waiting. Some establishments offer as a special experience even back to courts, as you might have been in Roman times. Enjoy the lightest alpine crossing for cyclists.
