From Tramin to Trodena: Easy E-Biking through Viaducts, Tunnels and Unspoiled Nature

Tour description

Starting your ride in Tramin sets the tone: here, cycling pleasure begins right at the village gate. This e-bike tour is ideal for those seeking a relaxed yet scenic journey into the green heart of South Tyrol – without steep climbs, but full of atmosphere, culture, and nature.

From Tramin, the route leads gently through vineyards towards Neumarkt, where the adventure truly begins: the former railway line of the Val di Fiemme. Now a cycling path, this historical route winds along gentle gradients through shady woods, short tunnels, and across spectacular viaducts. The Glen Viaduct is a real highlight – a massive stone structure spanning the valley like a bridge from another era. A perfect place to stop, breathe, and admire the view.

The route continues through Pinzon, with its distinctive Gothic church, and on to the peaceful mountain village of Trodena, nestled in the Monte Corno Nature Park. Here, nature becomes wilder, quieter. Take a break at a local inn – perhaps with apple strudel or a fresh herbal tea.

The return ride follows the same path – this time downhill, with sweeping views over the Adige Valley. By the time you arrive back in Tramin, you’ll feel transformed: more relaxed, more connected, more present.
