Orientation:
The Adige Valley in South Tyrol is the furrow in the Alpine ridge through which the Brenner motorway leads southwards to the Po Valley. Directly south of Bolzano on the western side of the valley are Kaltern and our location in Tramin. Lake Kaltern with its bathing beach lies between the two towns. The Mitterberg, a mountain ridge about 14 kilometres long, separates the area visually and acoustically from the Adige Valley and the motorway.
Tour character:
The tours are all mountainous and run on light to medium traffic roads at altitudes between 200 and 1,300 metres. The gradients only exceed the ten per cent mark on a few ramps. If you want to climb to two scenic beauties, Lago di Tovel and Monte Penegal (tours 1 + 2), you will need to invest considerably more energy: The seven-kilometre road to Lake Tovel often climbs at 15 per cent, while the four-kilometre road to Monte Pénegal
kilometres to Monte Pénegal even reaches a gradient of 18 percent.
