We love family hikes where kids can ride their bikes or balance bikes. While the little ones zoom ahead, we parents can keep a good walking pace without having to stop every few meters. Here you’ll find ten family-friendly outings across South Tyrol that work perfectly with a bike. Some routes follow official cycling paths where parents can ride along as well, while others run along flat promenades or easy walking trails where kids can bring their bikes or balance bikes. And the best part: all of these outings are also suitable for strollers.
