Largely plain and and otherwise slightly upward you can enjoy cycling on the Val Passiria cycle path, pedalling across the great landscape of the Val Passiria valley. Far away from roads and traffic, and steadily accompanied by the refreshing Passirio river. Starting point of this cycling path is Merano: right before the bridge which connects the Val Passiria with Merano we turn right and this is where the cycle path starts, leading up to S. Leonardo in Passiria.
Along the left riverside we cycle to the idyllic village of Rifiano and further on to Saltusio below the Cervina funicular. We cycle past the golf course and past the village of painters, which is S. Martino. We cross a roofed bridge and proceed to S. Leonardo. This is also where the MuseumPasseier is located, featuring numerous treasures regarding the history of the valley. Really worth a visit!
