“MeranoTrail” is a completely independent adventure that can be mastered by bike. The concept is simple: you log in, receive a route to upload to your GPS device, set off on your bike and follow the route to your destination. Every participant can decide oneselfs speed and where to eat and sleep. While some participants prefer to stop rarely and cycle (even at night), others prefer to enjoy the countryside with their friends and have fun, try the local cuisine and stay in comfortable accommodations.
There is no predefined time limit and the competition does not take place against other participants. At “MeranoTrail” you only compete against yourself. The „official“ group start of all participants will take place in the city center of Merano on the 2^th of May 2020. Since this is a circuit, the start and finish points are the same.

The route runs through the entire Merano basin and is characterized by numerous inclines and steep passages. It leads through picturesque villages, past remote farms and sunny willows, through apple meadows and vineyards. Forest roads alternate with walking and cycling paths, as well as side roads, always with a magnificent view of the city of Merano and the surrounding mountains.

The length of the route is 160 km, the difference in altitude 5,500 m. In addition, there is a shorter route of 50 km length and 1,500 m difference in altitude.

Those interested can register at any time and cover the route outside the official event date – at the time of their choice. The “MeranoTrail” is intended to be a permanent route.
