I intend to visit some cities in the Italian Alps (for ex: Belluno, Bolzano) but my greatest wish is in fact to visit the little villages inside the valleys (Siusi, Funes, and so on).

The problem is that I can't drive, and besides that, renting a car would be really expensive for me. I would like to know what are the best ways inside the valleys for transportation. Walking seems to be out of consideration, since the distance between Funes and Bolzano, for example, is about 42 kilometers.

Is there public transportation to the little villages? Is bicycle a good option?

The villages and cities in South Tyrol (Provincia di Bolzano) are all reachable by public transportation, frequency will vary.

Timetables/Fares are searchable here (Sorry, poor English translation). Perhaps a "holiday ticket" would be practical.

Bicycle could be a fun way to do it.

(according to komoot) Bolzano to Funes is about 45km with 1000m climb (from start to finish) and would take about 4 hours.

IF and ONLY IF

You are an experienced cyclist the mountains (even if the route is not that extreme) and want to carry all your belongings with you; you can't go both way in a single day and enjoy sightseeing (IMO).

I would not suggest it.

Other than that, there would different combinations of train and/or buses (according to rome2rio).
