Road bike tours in Vinschgau & Meran

Many road bike tours can be shortened by doing a track with the means of public transport. Between the end of April and the end of October, there is a separate bike transport on trucks between Meran and Mals, as there are only limited possibilities to take the bikes with you in the trains in Vinschgau. More information is available on the article about tips for bikers in Vinschgau. Alternatively, Südtirol Rad or Papin Sport offer numerous rental stations with all kind of bikes.
