Public transport
Alternatives to the car in South Tyrol
A holiday without a car is easily possible in South Tyrol. Local public transport is provided by intercity and city bus, railway, cable cars and shuttle services. In 2006, the so-called South Tyrol Cycle was introduced: Public transport was extended to a min. one-hour interval and intensified by half-hourly bus connections.
Bus connections
All buses in South Tyrol (regional buses, urban buses, citybuses) belong to the integrated South Tyrol Mobility system and can be used with unified tickets.
- Small animals, luggage, and objects are transported free of charge on the bus.
- A separate ticket must be purchased for bicycles.
- Medium and large dogs require their own ticket. The use of leash and muzzle is mandatory.
On fahrplan.it, all bus schedules in South Tyrol are clearly displayed, and through filtering options such as bus line or location, you can quickly find the right schedule. Unlike other platforms, there's no need to download PDF documents to access the timetables. The information is continuously updated, so the most recent timetable data is always available without requiring any downloads or registration.
Cableways in South Tyrol
With cable cars, metres in altitude can be conquered without sweat and in a time-saving manner. Mountain bike and hiking tours can thus start close to the forest line - without searching for a parking spot on narrow mountain roads. Here you can find a list of cable cars with bike transport in the area around Merano and in the Vinschgau Valley.
Railway
In 2005, the Vinschgau Railway was put back into operation after 15 years of standstill. Today, almost two million passengers travel by train between Merano and Malles every year. With a capacity of 18 or 36 bicycles, the train offers convenient bicycle transport. In midsummer, however, there are often bottlenecks, so a bike shuttle has been set up at the station bike rentals. A truck transports the bikes to the desired destination station with bike rental and there is enough space for passengers on the train.
