Little exploration tour along Martello’s Strawberry Trail and the valley floor:
Start at Val Martello’s pivot, the Trattla sports and leisure center with the culturamartell visitor center and the South Tyrolean Strawberry World for an e-bike tour on the traces of Europe’s highest strawberry cultivation area with its tasty berries. You can explore part of the South Tyrol Strawberry Trail with its information points by (e-)bike.

Challenging climbs, rewarding views, a "gschmackige Marend" and several trail options.

The tour starts at the  village square of Tarres (Schulweg). Follow the signs on the asphalt road to the valley station of the chairlift Tarres Alp (1,200 m). At the finish house of the toboggan run, turn right and take a fairly leisurely route to Platzleng. From this fantastic picnic spot in the forest, we then crank up the forest road on partly very steep ramps to the Malga di Tarres (1,935 m) and earn a proper stop at the Malga di Tarres and the Mountain Restaurant Malga di Tarres. 

From Laces: from the Laces sports stadium (SportForum) in a southerly direction to the AquaForum adventure pool and either via the forest road and Raminiwaal or the road on to Tarres.

Shortcut: The Malga di Tarres lift transports bikes. From Laces we are then almost exclusively on asphalt.

Downhill or connecting variants: Tarscher Alm Trail, Roatbrunn Trail, 4-wins-13.

The ascent to the Comici Hut is sweaty, but the biker is spared the remaining metres in altitude thanks to the Gran Paradiso chairlift. The absolute highlight of the variant are the flow trails: from the highest point of the City of Stones, which is reached thanks to the chairlift, the Paravis Trail, which lives up to its name, leads to the mountain station of the Piz Seteur cable car. From there, you can choose between the flowy Family Trail or the adrenaline-pumping Easy Jump Line. From Plan de Gralba, a last trail leads to the left side of the stream to Selva Gardena and via the valley cycle path you finally reach the starting point in S. Cristina.

„At the borders of the Natural Park Fanes-Sennes-Braies“

Along the rushing Brunst stream you will enter the valley of the same name and continue on a winding stretch to finally reach your destination: the Alp Brunst where to enjoy a well-deserved pause.

Leisure points: Brunst Alm

Start at the Culturamartell visitor center in Trattla and take the Val Martello path until Ganda and then towards Stallwies. Turn right above the Premstl inn and follow the road towards Radund. Take the forest road towards "Platzer Mahd". Continue on the forest road and enjoy the nature passing by mighty larches and lush mountain meadows. We warmly recommend you to stop at the Stallwies mountain inn that awaits you with excellent South Tyrolean cuisine. Return on the same route and don’t forget to make a detour to the "Suachbichl" viewpoint.

The Holy Hansen trail was applied by bikers for bikers. The farm tavern Haslhof (1,550 m), after so many curves to satisfy the hunger of trail, awaits the deserved break with wonderful views.

From Haslhof westwards pass two fences and get off right after the flowy S1 trail section in sector 1 and 2. In sector 3 and 4 wait a few S2 and S3 somewhat more difficult to thereafter return to the easier element of fun for everyone. The Holy Hansen crosses repeatedly forest and asphalt paths.

At Wiebenhof follow on asphalt two bends downhill to then turn right into the trail section. Flow pure, spiced with abutting sections, small kickers and faster passages provides this trail section to the crossing of the asphalt road. Take the road uphill for a short stretch and then turn left to continue to enjoy the rest of the trail up to Göflan.

„Let’s go to the alp“

After this demanding uphill bikers will be rewarded with a landscape right out of a picture postcard and an alp with a wonderful view of the Dolomites. Who wants to continue can add the tour „Ridgeway variant“.

Leisure point: Lanzwiesen Alm.

Overlooking the Ifinger is the farmstead Gsteier. This very beautiful destination was always popular and sought after. The ride on the mountain bike, which is done exclusively on the paved farm access road, is not particularly long, but very steep.

"One of the most beautiful trails in the Alps" – this is how Bike Magazine described the Montesole /Sunny Benny Trail in Val Venosta.

This trail is passable nearly all year round and takes you through the austere cultural landscape of Val Venosta’s Sun Mountain. You will not only enjoy the flowing passages, but also the fantastic panoramic views of Monte Tramontana and of the surrounding mountain peaks and glaciers. Start at the mountain station in San Martino in Monte and follow the asphalt road downhill. Turn right after 1.2 km and take hiking path no. 9 for the first broader warm-up trail passage. The main part of the trail with flowing forest floors and more difficult stone passages (partially S2) starts after a short asphalt road crossing at Birchaböden. Look forward to pure trail fun after a short crosswise drive on the Ratschillweg road to the newly built trail section with fantastic steep turns. The successive flatter, flowing “Share the Trail” section starts after a few meters in altitude and takes you along Piani di Annenerg. Continue until the suspension bridge, pass by the cairns and take the partially steep path no. 5 to Tiss. Variant: You can also take path no. 5A to Tiss, just before the suspension bridge. Return on the asphalt road towards Laces or Coldrano. Please note: “Share the Trail” sections for some parts, especially on paths no. 5 and 7. Please show consideration for hikers as they have right of way!

Start at the visitor center culturamartell in Trattla and take the Val Martello path until Ganda and then towards Stallwies. Turn right above the Premstl inn and follow the road towards Radund. Take the forest road towards "Platzer Mahd". Continue on the forest road and enjoy the nature passing by mighty larches and lush mountain meadows. We warmly recommend you to stop at the Stallwies mountain inn that awaits you with excellent South Tyrolean cuisine. Return on the same route and don’t forget to make a detour to the "Suachbichl" viewpoint.

Strenuous tour with marvellous panoramic look.

Beginning at the valley station of the cablecar San Martino in Monte follow the MTB sign-posting "St. Martin im Kofel Tour" on the bicycle path in direction Castelbello. At the tourist office cross the street and on the village square on the right hold to reach directly the street of San Martino. After 12,5 km a well-deserved break on the top terminal with breathtaking panorama in the direction of Val Martello Valley, Ortler and the famous Mount Cevedale.

Departure or connection variations: Asphalt road San Martino,Tschilli Trail, Montesole / Sunny Benny Trail, Latscher Panorama Trail.

„Bike fun underneath the Passo Furcia/Furkelpass“

This varied circuit leaves no room for monotony: along the Furkel stream, across woods, meadows and fields, on aspahlt as on gravel paths, with both gentle and steep stretches and 2 rest points... What more could bikers ask for?

Leisure point: Hotel Bad Bergfall and Inn Trattes.

A trail classic with fantastic trail descents.

Start in Tarres and first take the partially demanding asphalt road for a little while and then go along the forest road to Malga di Montefranco. This mostly shady tour with some steeper passages takes you up to 1.674m and offers wonderful views of Naturno and Merano and environs. Refresh yourself at the mountain hut before you continue uphill or take one of the downhill trails.
Tips: The Lupo and Fontana trails start just below Malga di Marzon. You can reach further trails via Bike Highline Meran(o).

A flowing trailround without great increases. Shady forests at Monte Tramontana, closed forest roads, short single trails, green meadows in the valley basin and sunny slopes at Monte Sole.

This 20 km-long tour is characterized by its great variety, which you can only find in Val Venosta Valley. The tour starts in Laces and takes you to Tiss and Coldrano along the slopes of Monte Sole. Pass by Coldrano Castle, continue to the Tschanderle hamlet and cross the river. The tour then takes you through the village of Vezzano and back to Coldrano where you continue through orchards until you reach the Holzbrugg bridge. Take the forest road and then the single trail along Monte Tramontana to the weather cross above Morter. Cross the village of Morter and go towards Val Martello until you reach the junction for Montani Castle.

In 2002, the Trans Alp race led along this irrigation channel path until the so-called Magrin Böden. You then continue on the "Südtirol Cup" route until the ice rink and the asphalt road. Cross the recreation area in Laces and return to your starting point.

The way to Val Martello’s best Kaiserschmarren (sugared pancake with raisins) is not far from Val Martello’s pivot if you go by e-bike or by bike. Start at the Trattla sports and leisure center and take the road into the valley. Turn right and continue on path no. 7 to reach Martello’s valley path (South Tyrol Strawberry Trail, no. 36). Go until the bridge and continue towards the village of Martello. First go up the asphalt road before you continue up and down along the sunny slope northwards. Passing by rather steep, irrigated meadows and houses that are acrobatically built into the slopes the road gets narrower and you are surrounded by sloping terrain. Pass by a little church and quickly cross the forest before you arrive at your destination: the Steinwandhof farm situated high above Val Martello with its wonderful view of both the mountains and the valley.

„Back and forth on the Mitterberg“

Short but not very easy route across the woods in the south of Valdaora/Olang, well-known as a good stretch for training. As both ways are interesting to do, you can find signing in both directions.

The second trail of the Haider Alm, the Haider Flow Trail, is a nice trail from the Haider Alm down to San Valentino/St. Valentin. Most of the time you ride on the ski slope, but there are also parts through woods - so this trail is a diverse trail for anyone.

One of the classic tours on the Laces "Nörderberg" - real alpine pasture food included.

From the car park of the Laces sports stadium (SportForum) we start in a southerly direction to the AquaForum adventure pool, then turn right to the ice stadium (IceForum) and straight to the Latscherhof and then to the forest path in the direction to Magrinböden. The forest path is now moderately steep but constant in the direction of Töbrunn. From there we crank the final stretch slightly up and down to the refreshment stop at the Latscher Alm. Homemade products and good dumplings as well as drinks containing electrolytes delight our bikers hearts. We return to the valley either via the same forest trail, the Tarscher Alm forest trail, the "Roatbrunn trail" (S3) or the "4-wins-13 trail" (S2).

„View over the Valle di Anterselva/Antholzertal“

Nice tour of medium lenght passing the southern woods of Valdaora/Olang in order to arrive at the beautifully situated Alp Angerer, where bikers can enjoy a restorative stop with an amazing view.

Leisure points: Angerer Alm

Antholz Niedertal > Antholzer See > Staller Sattel > Klammljoch > Rein in Taufers > Sand in Taufers > Bruneck > Rasen > Antholz Niedertal.

This challenging uphill trip to S. Martino in Monte runs from Laces over some loose cobble and up some steep paths and involve some areas where the bike must be pushed. The maximum gradient is 24% and therefore this trail is only recommended for experienced mountain bikers.

You can already look forward to the delicious menu before your start: The cozy Lyfi mountain hut awaits you with homemade yoghurt with strawberries and traditional dishes from Val Venosta after an ascent of 1300 meters in altitude on beautiful gravel paths and asphalt road. Start at Val Martello’s Trattla sports and leisure center with the culturamartell visitor center and take the road through the wonderful berry valley. Turn right after 300m to reach Martello’s valley path which takes you along the Plima river. The first 400 meters in altitude take you along the babbling river and some strawberry fields in the partially already narrower valley. Having passed Café Hölderle and Restaurant Hotel Waldheim you reach the Romanesque chapel of Santa Maria alla Fonderia.
Continue on the road that has become famous due to Giro d’Italia 2014 with some turns and straight road sections through a wonderful landscape characterized by hay barns, lush meadows and berry fields. Pass by the summer and winter biathlon center until you reach the mighty dam wall. Push your bike across the 83m-high dam wall of Lake Gioveretto and continue along the lake shore. Then you take the asphalt road again to proceed with the last 450 meters in altitude. After a few turns turn right in the left-hand turn with wonderful mountain panorama before the parking in Alta Val Martello and take the forest road towards the Lyfi mountain hut. You reach your worthwhile destination after a few short ups and downs.
