Bike & cable car
From Vinschgau in the west to Pustertal in the east, South Tyrol offers great tours and trails for bike fans. Cyclists who like to start their bike tour at the top of the mountain and not in the valley are also offered a large selection of cable cars that also transport bikes.
Not only freeriders and downhillers appreciate the fact that many cable cars in South Tyrol allow you to take your bike with you – with the appropriate ticket. Bike transport by cable car or lift is also practical for families with children and for all those who do not want to start their planned tour with a strenuous uphill trail. Some cable cars are open all year round, other mountain railways and lifts during the summer and winter seasons.
