- Day 1
Merano
You'll arrive in Merano at your own pace and pick up your rental bikes along with some route information.

It's a nice opportunity to settle in and explore the local streets at a relaxed pace before heading out on the bike.
Optional Activities

Malles - Glorenza - Silandro - Merano
Take the Venosta Valley Railway from Merano to Malles, and your bike travels with you.
