The Transalp includes around 900 routes across the Alps
Almost every ambitious cyclist has already dreamt of crossing the Alps by bike. Every year, more than 150,000 cyclists and mountain bikers take on the challenge of crossing the Alps on Transalp routes.
The Transalp is usually covered from north to south and includes several challenging mountain passes. One of the classic itineraries starts in Garmisch-Partenkirchen in Germany and arrives in Riva del Garda in Trentino. The 300 - 600 km long routes have a total difference in altitude of 4,000 to 20,000 metres and are completed in 5-10 days.
One of the most popular stages of the Transalp runs through the Val Pusteria as well. It includes crossing the Passo di Fundres from where a thrilling descent down to the village of Fundres and the eponymous valley starts - a dream come true for downhill lovers! The route then proceeds through the Bassa Pusteria. The Transalp is almost a must for every ambitious cyclist and an incredible experience for sure!
