The 3-country triangle around Nauders: country hopping par excellence

Where the Romans already set out to cross the Alps, it is now used by cyclists on the 700 km route between southern Germany and northern Italy. So in part it's like a trip back in time. Especially on the ancient trade route Via Claudia Augusta, both hobbyists and cycling professionals get their money's worth. Thus, the route is ridden by professionals to train on it. But it is also popular with many hobby cyclists. The reason for this is that it is considered one of the easiest crossings of the Alps and offers pure racing bike pleasure.

Nauders as starting point
Fun Fact: Within a radius of 100 kilometers there are more than 20 passes that will challenge you and your calves. Of course, you can also take it easy for now - just check out the well-described routes on the web or let the locals tell you the best tips of the area. Here the bike expertise is closely linked to Roadbike Holidays. Because hoteliers like at Hotel Central are also trained guides. Let's hear what they have to say about the area:

The Ploner family from the Hotel Central: "Road biking in this area is a real pleasure. Especially the tours in the Vinschgau or the Engadin are spectacular and a real challenge for man and machine. However, in the vicinity of the hotel there are also far less demanding tours. The special thing about the 3-Länder Eck is also the proximity to our neighbors in Italy and Switzerland. Every corner offers something different, be it the panorama or the varied culinary delights. We will be happy to advise you, but we won't give too much away - just drop by - we look forward to seeing you!"

To ensure that your biking vacation is a complete success, we recommend that you stop off at a Roadbike Holiday Member such as the family-run Hotel Central. Here you will find the concentrated roadbike competence on site. What exactly does that mean, you ask?

There is a lockable bike room including video surveillance on site and a drying room for clothes, just to name a few. Of course, there's also a workshop corner and lots of goodies like fruit, power bars and snacks. To relax after the tour, you'll find a large spa area with sauna and steam room on site.

But the real highlight of your Paznaun vacation is yet to come: the Silvretta - Bielerhöhe high altitude trail. This is a high mountain trail that promises cross-country skiers unforgettable views. The trail is quite demanding and is therefore recommended only for cross-country skiers with good technique and condition. The start of the cross-country skiing route is at the Galtür hamlet of Wirl. From there it leads further into the valley to the Silvretta reservoir. The way to get there is strenuous. When you arrive at the reservoir, however, all exertion is immediately forgotten. The incredible mountain panorama and the deep snow-covered mountain landscapes are admirable. This is a truly rare experience for cross-country skiers. The imposing, breathtaking mountain panoramas that can be seen far above are rather reserved for other mountain sports enthusiasts.
