Cycling in South Tyrol does not have to be strenuous. With an e-bike, the mountain becomes a pleasure.

E-Bike & Leisure Cycling in South Tyrol: Discover the Mountains in a Relaxed Way

Not everyone who wants to experience South Tyrol on two wheels is looking for a sporting challenge. Many simply want to be out and about. Enjoying the landscape, stopping at a farm tavern and returning relaxed in the evening. That is exactly what e-bike and leisure cycling are made for. Those who set off from Lindenhof in Naturns have the most beautiful routes right outside the door.

Why the e-bike has changed the Vinschgau

The Vinschgau has always been a cycling region. But the e-bike has changed something decisive. Routes that were once only open to trained riders are now manageable for everyone. The climb to a mountain village, the ascent to an alpine pasture or the longer tour through several villages. With motor assistance the fun stays and the effort decreases.

The e-bike offering at Lindenhof includes modern rental bikes and charging infrastructure right at the hotel. So you can set off relaxed in the morning without having to worry about technology or battery beforehand.

The Vinschgau cycle path: flat and relaxed

Those who prefer it calm are best off starting on the Vinschgau cycle path. The route runs for 90 kilometres from Mals to Merano, mostly flat or gently descending. Apple orchards, small villages and again and again the view of the mountains. Here you need neither fitness nor experience. Just get on and ride.

Particularly beautiful is the downhill variant towards Merano. Those who wish can take the Vinschgau railway back to Naturns. The train carries bikes, so the return becomes a relaxed finale. The activities around Lindenhof can be combined entirely as you please.

Leisure cycling: the landscape at the centre

Leisure cycling is more than just riding slowly. It is about the breaks, the views and the small discoveries along the way. A farm tavern with home-made apple juice, a market stall with regional fruit or a shady bench with a view of the apple orchards. In spring the route leads through the blossoming orchards, in summer through lush green and in autumn through harvest time.

Around Naturns there are numerous short loop tours that are also suitable for half a day. Those who want to see more combine the ride with a visit to the excursion destinations nearby. Schloss Juval, the villages on the Sonnenberg or the historic churches in the valley are good destinations for a leisurely tour.

Tours for families

The e-bike makes cycling tours easier for families too. Parents who would otherwise have to pull children in a trailer make more relaxed progress with motor assistance. Older children ride along on their own bikes and the flat cycle path ensures that no one is overwhelmed.

Lindenhof is well set up for families. The family offering includes childcare as well as tips for tours that work well with children. This turns the cycling trip into an experience for everyone, without stress and without overexertion.

After the tour: arriving and recovering

Even a relaxed bike ride is tiring. That is exactly why returning to Lindenhof is an important part of the day. A warm shower, a dip in the pool and then a treatment at the spa. The wellness area at Lindenhof offers everything tired legs need after a tour. Massages, warmth and rest.

Those who wish round off the day in the sauna. The warmth loosens the muscles and ensures that the next day begins lightly again. This turns movement and recovery into a well-rounded daily rhythm.
