Beyond the Dolomites: a cycling holiday in Val Passiria/Passeiertal
Cycle off and enjoy yourself
Rolling bike paths meander through the idyllic mountain world with its lush forests and meadows. You cycle over small wooden bridges, along wide forest paths, and down narrow trails towards your destination. Metre by metre, you push forward, refreshing your tight calves in cool mountain streams in between. Once you reach the viewpoint, you let your gaze wander over the beautiful mountain landscape, take a deep breath, and think to yourself: “That climb was truly worth it.” No, we’re not talking about the Dolomites, but a cycling holiday in Val Passiria/Passeiertal, a paradise with numerous e-bike and mountain bike trails, some of which can be reached by cable car and some that require no effort at all to reach. The Meran/St. Leonhard cycle path, for example, leads directly past the Quellenhof Luxury Resort Passeier.
