Starting in the Hochpustertal Valley, you will cycle through beautiful natural surroundings on a route that takes you not only to the most famous lakes in these areas, but also to small hidden gems.

The cycle tour largely follows well-developed cycle paths, very often directly along the lake shore. In some sections, the route runs along national roads without cycle paths. The route is well signposted.
