Bolzano
South Tyrol's capital where Dolomite passes begin and the Giro returns each May.
Overview
Cycling in Bolzano
Bolzano is the low-altitude gateway to the Dolomites, where valley bike paths along the Adige give way to the long climbs of the Passo delle Erbe, Mendola and the approaches to the Sella group. Its position at the meeting of three valleys makes it a comfortable base with warm-weather riding and big mountains a spin away.
