Thanks to its relatively mild climate preparations for the cycle racing season in Parcines/Partschins already start in February. The Etschradweg cycle track along the ancient Via Claudia Augusta has a total of 80 km from Rablà/Rabland to the Reschensee lake through the Val Venosta/Vinschgau Valley, with a vertical altitude difference of almost 1,000m. The ascent up the legendary Stilfserjoch mountain pass, the highest in Italy and part of the thrilling Giro d’Italia cacling race, are not to be missed.
The Ötzi Bike Academy organizes guided tours on racing bicycles from Parcines up the scenic mountain passes as far as the magnificent Garda Lake.
