The western region of South Tyrol is called Vinschgau. The Vinschgau is a popular tourist destination as it is the region with the lowest rainfall in South Tyrol. 

100 years after its opening in 1906 and after being out of service for many years, the Vinschgau Train from Merano to Mals is once again in operation.

It has not taken long for the Vinschgau Train to become a favourite tourist attraction, after all it passes through some of the most spectacular mountain scenery that waits to be explored.

18 train stations - small architectural jewels that are protected as monuments of historical interest. They are the ideal starting points for hiking and cycling trips into the South Tyrolean Alps.

Take advantage of the new offer of the Vinschgau Train and explore the Vinschgau in a combination of bike and rail. There are six places along the train route where you can hire bicycles.
