Cycling across Val Passiria

Thiy cycling path takes cyclers past the villages of Val Passiria along the Passirio river.

Largely plain and and otherwise slightly upward you can enjoy cycling on the Val Passiria cycling path, pedaling across the great landscape of Val Passiria. Far away from roads and traffic, and steadily accompanied by the refreshing Passirio river.

Starting point of this cycling path is Merano: right before the bridge which connects Val Passiria with Merano we turn right and this is where the cycling path starts, leading up to S. Leonardo in Passiria.
Along the left riverside you cycle to the idyllic village of Rifiano and further on to Saltusio below the Cervina funicular. We cycle past the golf course and past the village of painters, which is S. Martino. We cross a roofed bridge and proceed to S. Leonardo. This is also where the Val Passiria museum is located, featuring numerous treasures regarding the history of the valley. Really worth to be visited.
