Cycling experience
The exclusive Villa Helvetia is a bike hotel set in the peaceful historic centre of Merano, ideal for riders who want to discover the area by e-bike, mountain bike or road bike, starting straight from the hotel.
Whether you are looking for scenic road cycling routes, flowing MTB trails or relaxed bike tours leading to authentic alpine huts, you will find some of South Tyrol’s most beautiful rides right here.
After a day in the saddle, unwind in Villa Helvetia’s outdoor jacuzzi and open-air sauna, both surrounded by the peace of the garden, a charming oasis filled with greenery and flowers. In the afternoon, the hotel serves an energy-boosting snack with sandwiches, homemade cakes, savoury bites, tea and coffee.
Thanks to its super central location, you can easily enjoy Merano on foot and at your own pace, with its lively town centre, events, boutiques, cafés and unique Mediterranean atmosphere. The perfect mix of cycling, good food and pure wellbeing.
