Biking with children

Mountain biking in South Tyrol with the whole family

Choosing a mountain bike-trip with children call for other criteria as if the participants are only fit adults. Important with biking with children are wide and easy cycle tracks, shadow, picnic facilities and – not to forget: a lot of variety.

Children in fact are getting bored fast, most of all if they must always ride slowly behind their parents: they are getting quickly frustrated.

Fortunately, South Tyrol is a mountainous country. Countless valleys are stretching through them, countless passes are connecting one and another valley, and not to forget 8 Nature Parks are protecting South Tyrol’s landscape. In the Nature Parks cars are banned and the forest trails are wide enough for hikers AND bikers. Moreover at the roadside there is much to discover: forest animals, different tree species, alpine flowers and different herbs, for example.

In the valleys, however, there are many paved bicycle paths, which connect the cities and villages together. They are perfect for a bike-tour with the whole family! After all, you can stop and turn back all the time, there are many picnic facilities and in the end you can also take public transport to come back to your starting point!
