This scenic mountain bike tour takes you across the sunny plateau of Nova Ponente/Deutschnofen – one of the most breathtaking natural landscapes in South Tyrol. The 37 km circular route starts and ends at the mountain station of the Kohlern/Colle cable car in Bolzano/Bozen and includes 750 m of elevation gain. A perfect blend of nature, physical activity and stunning views – best enjoyed from late spring to autumn.

The Eppan / Appiano High-Altitude Trail starts off with a gentle rise. Later, you can amble down an equally gentle downhill sloping segment over a gravel trail. The trail has an average elevation of 1,000 meters. This tour offers you a fabulous view of the provincial capital of Bozen / Bolzano, the "Unterland" district of South Tyrol, and the majestic Dolomites. After starting in Kaltern / Caldaro, you can roll along the bicycle path towards the town of Eppan / Appiano, then through Eppan towards Matschatsch uphill on a gravel trail that starts out rather steep. You then follow the Mendel Pass Road for a short segment towards the right, later turning off and taking the Michaeler Kehre (Turn No. 6) so as to return onto a forest trail. This forest trail starts off level, but towards the end it gets steeper, leading you into the Furglauer Gorge – a steep groove that runs down between Penegal and Gantkofel / Monte Macaion in the direction of Eppan. There's a short stretch where you'll have to dismount and push your bike. Then you'll reach the gorge, from which you'll have to take another short, but very steep gravel trail out. The Eppan / Appiano High-Altitude Trail starts out with a gentle uphill grade until you reach an elevation of about 1,050 meters above sea-level. A gentle downhill gravel trail follows. You will then reach the visual highlight of this tour: The Buchwald Inn, with its sensational view over Bozen. You then continue over a gravel trail towards Perdonig / Predonico. The return trip is via a path below the High-Altitude Trail – in part over asphalt, and in part over gravel trails through the forest and to the exit of the Furglauer Gorge, past various inns, and through the town of Eppan as you continue on your way by bicycle path towards Kaltern.

Variants: You can follow the Mendel Pass Road and try the "Penegal" or "Malga Romeno" tours.

Mustn't be missed: The wonderful panorama of the provincial capital of Bozen / Bolzano and the fabulous Dolomites.

The Ötzi Flow Trail is the final stretch of the Ötzi Trail. While the Ötzi Trail is a constantly steep descent (S3) from the Bike Highline Meran/o, down in the valley the Ötzi Flow Trail makes the crowning conclusion to the route. It unwinds through 1,900 m of wide hairpin bends and flowing S-1 stretches down to the Waldschenke restaurant. The Ötzi Flow Trail can also be tackled as a short trail in its own right, starting from the forest road above the Waldschenke.

Option of Trail n° 3:

Your tour to the Brenner border ridge starts in Brennerbad - Terme di Brennero. First, cycle up the forest road to around 2,150 m, where the Brenner Pass Ridge trail begins. From there, continue almost level along trail no. 1 towards the saddle "Steinjoch". Shortly afterwards, turn right onto trail no. 3, which takes you to the Steinalm hut. A little further on, turn right again onto a steep forest road that leads you back to the Brenner – Bolzano cycle path. From there, enjoy a relaxed ride back to Brennerbad - Terme di Brennero.

The Altrei Loop is an ideal tour for beginners and leisure cyclists. Covering nearly 14 kilometers, it follows well-maintained gravel forest paths through the Trudner Horn Nature Park, one of South Tyrol’s most biodiverse regions. With moderate ascents and stunning views, it provides a relaxing outdoor experience. The best time to ride is late spring, summer, and autumn.

Option of Trail n°2:

Light line. Flat trail with large curve, small natural elements like roots and stones.

The tour begins in the Pfalzen sports area. You’ll start on a paved road that gently climbs through the village of Pfalzen. After the first few kilometers, the surroundings grow denser, and the forest provides a pleasant coolness.

After a light ascent, you’ll reach the first fork in the road. Here, follow the marked path and the sign for MTB Route 442. The path now becomes a bit steeper and will test your endurance. The trail winds through nature, passing scattered trees and shrubs, occasionally opening up to views of the surrounding valley and the Dolomites.

After one final climb, you’ll reach your destination, the Kofler am Kofel Inn. Here, you can enjoy a well-deserved break with regional cuisine and scenic views before returning along the same route.

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.

ATTENTION: The mountain restaurant Gsteier is closed for the season 2025

It's hard to believe that the Mitterberg / Monte di Mezzo – this oblong, heavily forested mountain situated between the Etsch / Adige Valley and lake Caldaro – is crisscrossed by more than 600 km of trails, but it's true! The network of bike trails here is so complicated that you'll have to take care to maintain your bearings. The expansive Stein Valley is actually only a shallow depression near the highest point of the Mitterberg – which has an altitude of about 650 meters, and at the summit of which there is a large antenna station. You begin the ascent by first cycling downhill from Kaltern / Caldaro on the bicycle path towards Lake Caldaro, but after a few meters, you'll have to take a sharp left turn into a forest trail which is asphalted at the bottom. At the beginning, there is an only slight uphill grade. But starting at the Montiggl Plateau, it becomes much steeper. When you've gotten a little farther, a gravel trail starts. This gravel trail is only slightly uphill, and will take you to the entrance to the expansive Stein Valley. The route through the Stein Valley is virtually level, so you'll encounter nothing requiring any significant technical skill. The big, moss-covered boulders in the forest will catch your eye; they are found on both sides of the forest trail, and give the valley its name. Once you've gotten to the other side of the Stein Valley, you'll have two options to pedal downhill: The following description applies to the easy asphalt trail (which is nonetheless off limits for motor vehicles). Once you've descended, you can pedal along the level road to the west of the Montiggl Lakes towards Eppan. From there, you should take the bicycle trail along the former railroad line and bike back to Kaltern. In the summertime, the Montiggl Lakes are a popular destination for outdoor swimming, and you can enjoy a slice of delicious, home-made pie and cake in any one of the beach cafes. But please note the large number of pedestrians and hikers you'll encounter along the way to the lakes when the weather is nice. All in all, the Stein Valley is an easy mountainbike tour and, because it will take you mostly through shadowy forest, is to be preferred on hot days.

Variants: This tour can also be combined with the "Girlan / Cornaiano" tour.

Mustn't be missed: The Montiggl Lakes.

The Altrei circuit is an easy beginner tour, perfect for novice riders and those looking for a leisurely biking experience. The route covers approximately 13.90 km with an elevation gain of about 462 m, primarily on gravel forest roads. With an estimated riding time of about 1.5 hours, this tour offers spectacular insights into the natural diversity of the Trudner Horn Nature Park, known for its unique flora. The tour is especially recommended in late spring, summer, and autumn.

After the first steep climb the circuit is easy to ride and can be shortened at several points.

The tour starts at the Bike Academy Infopoint and leads uphill to the Mitterberg Fortress. After a short, rather crisp climb, the route then goes in the direction of the alpine pastures on a relatively flat terrain. After about 20 minutes you reach the so-called "Saumahd" (1,750m), where you turn left to the Klammbach Alp. A wide forest path connects the Klammbach Alp with the Nemes Alp, which is the next destination of the tour. As a small highlight, however, you can also choose hiking trail no. 13. This trail is a little more demanding in parts, with a short carrying passage of approx. 100m. Before reaching the Nemes Alp, take trail no. 146 to the Coltrondo Alp. From there the 149 leads in the direction of the Kreuzbergpass. This initially runs along a demanding trail (S2), which can, however, be bypassed via the so-called "Krötensee". Then you take the forest road to the Nemes Alp/ Coltrondo Alp junction, where hiking trail no. 130 leads in the direction of "Schwarzsee". From there it's an exciting, partly challenging trail, called “Wurzelweg”, which leads you back to the valley station of the Drei Zinnen cable car.

Option of Trail n°2:

Light line. Flat trail with large curve, small natural elements like roots and stones.

From the Etschbrücke bridge in Tschars (Winkler Inn) the trail leads along a slight climb past various farms up to Tomberg and from there to the Schartegg parking lot (1,460m). The last stretch from the parking lot to the pasture requires a little stamina, as the trail becomes steeper. The first 8.3 km are on a paved road and the rest of the route on a gravel path. The trail to the Tablander Alm mountain pasture offers various opportunities to enter the Lupo and Fontana trails. After 6.7 km and 570m gain it is possible to take the crossing Fontana Trail, and after 4.3 km and 360m gain the crossing Lupo Trail.

Technical, difficult line. Narrow trail with tight turns and larger natural elements and obstacles like stones and roots. Partly steep sections.

Intensive Mountainbike-Tour auf dem Eppaner Höhenweg. Erfahrene Biker kommen dank fantastischer Aussicht, aber auch spannender Trails voll auf ihre Kosten.

Cycle through the village, the ascent up to the Innichberg starts on the opposite side of the valley. From there it's on to the Lachwiesen hut and down to the Silvesterplatz. The view of the Dolomites invites you to take a break on the sunny side of Toblach. Later the Silvester Valley leads towards the valley, past the Enzianhütte hut and on to Frondeigen. The Eggerberg mountain connects Toblach and Niederdorf. Continue, then, with little effort, along the asphalt road to Niederdorf and on the cycle path to Innichen and back to Sexten.
