The adventure begins with a comfortable shuttle ride from Brixen to the Villnösstal Valley, arriving at Zanser Alm – from here, the real bike journey kicks off! We start on a forest road heading toward the Gampen Alm, accompanied by breathtaking views of the Dolomites and the Villnösser Geisler Peaks. The route then continues to the Schlüterhütte mountain hut. The final climb to this point demands a serious effort – but the view from the highest point of the tour is worth every drop of sweat. It’s the perfect place for a short panoramic break. After that, things get a bit more relaxed: we follow varied trails and gravel paths, with gentle climbs and descents, riding on toward the Gömajoch, passing the Göma Hut, and reaching the well-known Würzjoch.

We will stop here - the CAI Hut is currently closed for renovation. Well-rested, we continue to the CAI Hut, the entry point to the legendary downhill route CAIDOM. Once upon a time, this was where the world’s best freeriders raced into the valley – today, it’s our personal playground.

Schlachthof Sessions is curated by Giangee — DJ, producer, and someone who’s always believed in the power of music when it’s given space to breathe. The idea is simple: to create nights where music truly matters. Where artists can express themselves freely, without pressure or pretence. The vibe is closer to a hidden room than a club — warm lights, honest sound, and a crowd that listens. No ego. No formulas. Just deep grooves and shared moments. From dubby rhythms to hypnotic house and beyond, every session is a carefully crafted journey. We pause after our final date on July 4th, and return in September, recharged. This isn’t about trends. It’s about presence. It’s about the art of sound. 16.5. FR - #1 – Davide Piras B2B Giangee 23.5. FR - #2 – Overriver 30.5.
