Brixen is located in the northern part of South Tyrol, just beyond the Brenner Pass, making it one of the first stops on the southern side of the Alps. The historic city with its narrow lanes, spacious squares and arcades, is considered one of the most beautiful towns in South Tyrol. It is surrounded by vineyards climbing up the mountain slopes. Also famous is its local mountain, the Plose, which is home to the Brixen Bikepark.
The cycling season in Brixen begins early in spring and extends well into late autumn. Especially September and October – the “gusto months” – entice with tours bathed in the golden autumn light. The Brixen Bikepark on the Plose is open until mid-October.
