Gravel bike holiday in Tramin / Lake Kaltern
315 days of sunshine a year is good for the wines as well as the calves and the mind! No wonder that enjoyment has always been a top priority in the traditional wine region of Tramin / Lake Kaltern. Thanks to the mild Mediterranean climate of the sun-kissed southern side of the Alps, nature here offers lush Alpine-Mediterranean flavours. And the best biking conditions! A gravel bike holiday in Tramin takes you through cultivated vineyards, then through wild forests, between palm and apple trees into the alpine mountains and to kitschy lake shores.
Enjoyment & gravel on the South Tyrolean Wine Road
From the Montiggl Lakes to Monte Roen - the choice of tours on a gravel bike holiday in Tramin is enormous. While it is still winter in most of South Tyrol in March, the season is already underway in the bike area and can be savoured to the full until the end of November. There is always time to take a break to relax your legs and soul before continuing cross-country. Real hut classics await in between. If you want to find out what the South Tyrolean lowlands taste like, don't miss out on homemade dumpling risotto at one of the rustic mountain huts. After a break in the sun on one of the deckchairs, it's time to move on - after all, there's still so much to discover! Not least the region's signature wine - either as a classic sundowner by Lake Kaltern, as an aperitivo before a meal or as a refreshing Gewürztraminer Selida sorbet with lemon ice cream and Gewürztraminer grapes. Simply the coolest way to enjoy the signature wine.
Mendel Pass or Magreid?
In just 12 minutes, the bright red Mendel cable car takes you up to the 2,374 metre-high Mendel Pass. Opened in 1903, the railway is still one of the steepest and longest funicular railways in Europe. If you want to climb the hairpin bends on the Mendel Pass road by muscle power, you should bring enough stamina - you will be rewarded with a magnificent view! There are also numerous challenging pleasure tours in the valley, such as the Tramin - Kurtatsch - Magreid circuit. A stop at the Hirschen inn in the picturesque ambience of the village of Magreid is a must!
