MTB výlety a stezky

From Graun, the wonderful Langtaufers valley opens up to the east. First, follow the asphalt road in the direction of Melag until the fork in Kapron. In Kapron, turn right in the direction of Riegl and then follow the shady forest path to the Kaproner Alm alpine pasture (1,960 m), which is closed. Continue slightly up and down to the Masebner Alm alpine pasture, which is closed as well. Following the path upwards, sometimes a bit steep - arrive at the Maseben mountain hut at 2,267 m. Here the innkeeper of the hut welcomes guests with traditional schnapps and local foods. The 2 km back to the Masebner Alm continue towards the valley and Karlin creek. Once on the forest road, turn right and follow a beautiful forest path along the rushing stream to the Melager Alm alpine pasture. Enjoy the views of the glacier world from the rest areas and then follow the forest path again on the orographic left bank to Riegl. Here go briefly uphill to the main road in Kapron. This road will lead you back to Graun.

Have a look at the new bike tour to the Marzoneralm around Castelbello-Ciardes.

The 3 Country Trail is the classical of our 3 Country Enduro Trail. The starting point of this scenic delight is Italy. We continue through Austria, passing picturesque mountain lakes until we finally find ourselves in Switzerland. 

From the Etschradbrücke bridge in Tschars the uphill trail no. 2 to the Marzoner Alm mountain pasture leads with a slight incline past various farms up to Tomberg, and continues on to the Zirmtal intersection. There the trail turns right in order to reach, by means of another climb, the Marzoner Alm mountain pasture (1,600 m). The first 8,3 km are paved and the rest of the route is along a gravel path. Upon arrival at the Uphill  Marzoner Alm 2, there are two different ways to join either the Lupo Trail or the Fontana Trail. At 6,7 km (570m vertical climb) one can take the Fontana Trail and at 4,3 km (360m vertical climb) the Lupo Trail.

Two sharp climbs, two lakes, a tower in the lake, a wonderful side valley panorama

 

The Spin Trail leads the bikers through the lonely mountain world at the 3-Länder Eck and leads along the slope towards the south. The Reschensee to the left flashes again and again through the woods and suddenly it is clear: here I am right! The Upper Spin Trail leads to the Schneider junction. From here it's either back to the Schöneben Bahn or further south to the Haideralm.

The tour starts at the dam in St. Valentin. In the beginning, the route runs on an asphalt road through St. Valentin to Dörfl to the fisherman's houses and on to Alsack. Here turn left to Plawenn and then take the forest road on the right towards Planeiler Alm. Up to the Planeiler Alm alpine hut you have to really pedal uphill to reach the stopover after about 8 km. On the way enjoy the view of the Malser Haide, the Marienberg monastery and the Ortler group. The alpine hut offers some fresh milk and the traditional South Tyrolean bacon - Speck. With a full stomach, take the alpine path in the direction of Planeil valley to the Planeil stream called - Puni. After a rough, quite steep descent, reach the quaint village of Planeil. From Planeil, the asphalt road leads back to Ulten and Alsack and back to St. Valentin dam.

Start at the dam wall of the Reschensee at 1,500 m, cross it, and at Innerkaschon take the old Rojen road in the direction of Schöneben. After about 8 kilometres of pedaling uphill on the old asphalt road, reach the Schönebenhütte and take a break. After the short refreshment, take the asphalt road under the hut in the direction of Rojen and ride out of the valley to the car park of the Rescher Alm alpine hut near the "Kopfer" bridge. Turn left and ride slightly uphill to the Rescher Alm alpine hut, where you can have a second stop. As a reward for the effort enjoy a large variety of regional products and an enchanting view of Lake Reschen. Continue north to the Tendershof, a well-run tavern. The descent leads through the middle of a larch and spruce forest past Tendershof to the Vinschger cycle path before Reschen. From Reschen follow the cycle path orographically left to Graun to the historic church tower in the lake back to the starting point on the dam wall of Lake Reschen.

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

From the football pitch in St. Martin, this short and easy tour initially takes you along a paved side road with little traffic through the meadows and forests above the village. The route then climbs gently past fields and old farms, offering wonderful panoramic views of the valley below. The tour then ends in the small, idyllic village of Chi Plans. Before going back, it is worth making a short visit to the Cristlá Restaurant & Pizzeria, which is located just a few hundred meters further on from Chi Plans on road 29 towards Untermoi.

From Gossensass to the hamlet „Jaggl“ in the Pflersch Valley. From here on the road to Innergiggelberg and then to Außergiggelberg and then the dirt road tot he alps of Inner- and Außergiggleberg. On the dirt Road to the “Sandjöchl”. We return on the dirt road to the “Lorenzenberg” and to the croosroaad “Kreuzjoch”. From here on the right on trail nr. 2 and on the dirt road to Außergiggelberg. The same way back we came.

The Kreuzmoos Trail opens up the area south of the Mutzkopf. A beautiful single trail that shows the Mutzkopf from its best side and also acts as a feeder for the Gerry Tail.

Con il Plattweg Trail avete davanti a voi un single trail indimenticabile della regione enduro 3-paesi: vi rapisce nel solitario mondo delle montagne altoatesine, offre profonde vedute del lago di Resia e vi porta allo stesso tempo in direzione nord. Alla Schneider Kreuzung si immette nella parte inferiore dello Spin Trail e poi si può scegliere tra il Grein Trail (ritorno alla malga San Valentino) o il Gorf Trail (proseguendo per Belpiano). 

It starts at the highest point and leaves no stone unturned on the 1700 meters of trail to put a big grin on your face. The start is a few meters up, the Green Trail leads into the lower part of the Eleven Trail.

This difficult but breathtaking circular tour starts in St. Vigil and takes you into the Fanes-Sennes-Prags nature park. From St Vigil, the cycle path leads along the river through the forest with a moderate ascent to the Lavarella mountain hut. From there, the route becomes steeper up to Fanes alpine pasture, where a breathtaking view of the Dolomites awaits you. From the pasture, the route continues past further alpine huts and lakes up to Lake Limo, the highest point of the tour. You then cycle through the Great Fanes Valley and then starting from the Col de Locia, a difficult descent to the Capanna Alpina begins - here you may have to dismount and carry your mountain bike. From the Capanna Alpina, continue to St. Kassian and then ride along the cycle path to Zwischenwasser and from there back towards St. Vigil.

The starting point of this partially newly created trail is the historic Bunker high above the lake lago di Resia. Whoever finds time should definitely take a photo here with the lago di Resia in the background. The Bunker Trail is the main link to the south and brings the biker to the entrance of the Adige River Trails who continues to Resia.

From Reschen go north towards the Austrian border. Just 500 m before the valley station of the Bergkastel cable car (Nauders), take a sharp right along a fairly steep gravel road to the mountain station. Stop for refreshments in the Bergkastel mountain restaurant. Here starts the most beautiful part of the tour: return to the ascent path to the Bergkastelalpe and continue to the left to the high moorland of Plamortböden and the anti-tank barrages that are also well known across the border. From here on use the forest road or the beautifully laid out trails (S2). After passing the barriers, the view opens up over the Vinschgau Valley with its unique lake landscape from the vantage point on the rock. With a breathtaking view descend to Reschen: on the technical and partly more demanding Bunker Trail (no. 101, S2), with the subsequent Etsch Trail (no. 102, S1) leading into the forest, or on the forest road to Reschen. Once back there, enjoy a typical aperitif.

The starting point of this trail, which leads downhill throughout, is the mountain restaurant just below the mountain station. With the partly quite direct line choice, the Eleven Trail is one of the longer descents on the Mutzkopf and it reaches directly below the valley station.

On this MTB or E-MTB route, all the queens and kings of the Dolomites can be seen. The Marmolada - Queen of the Dolomites, the majestic Sassolungo and Sassopiatto, King Laurin and his Rosengarten/Catinaccio, and the legendary Sciliar. The route starts from Val Gardena, passes through the Seiser Alm, descends into the Val di Fassa, and then returns to Val Gardena over the Sella Pass. Due to the length of almost 100 km, it is recommended to ride the tour with an E-Bike. Those who prefer to ride without an electric motor should consider splitting the tour into two days.

For information on the operating times and tickets for the lifts, visit www.seiseralm.it/liftesommer

The tour starts in Ortisei (easily accessible from Selva di Val Gardena and S. Cristina via the Rodaval cycle path): the Ortisei-Seiser Alm cable car takes you to Europe’s largest high-altitude meadow, the Seiser Alm. Over lush alpine meadows, you ride with a view of the Sciliar – the symbol mountain of South Tyrol – across the Seiser Alm. Numerous mountain huts invite you to stop for a break. The route continues to Compatsch, where the descent into the valley towards Siusi allo Sciliar begins.

From Siusi allo Sciliar, the bike path continues to St. Konstantin. Shortly after the Gasthof zum Schlern, the ascent to the natural swimming lake Völser Weiher begins, where you can cool off if needed. The tour continues towards Ums (a district of Völs) up to the Schnaggenkreuz and finally onto the main road heading towards Tires at Rosengarten and St. Zyprian. It is worth taking Italy’s first Cabrio cable car to Frommeralm (those entering the tour from Welschnofen, below the Rosengarten Massif, take the Laurin 1 cable car to Frommeralm). The MTB path continues towards Karer Pass, where the descent into the Val di Fassa begins. The level bike path leads through meadows and forests along the Avisio River to Pozza di Fassa, and continues to Campitello di Fassa and Canazei. The bike path offers stunning views of the Dolomites and passes through lively villages. From here, you get breathtaking views of the surrounding Dolomites. The Queen of the Dolomites – the Marmolada, with its 3,343 m – can also be admired from here, along with the Sassolungo, Sassopiatto and the Sella massif. In Canazei, for the summer of 2025, the tour will include the use of the Canazei-Pecol and Toè lifts. Two great trails, the “DoubleU” and a section of the “Infinity”, lead from the top station of the Toè cable car to Pian Frataces (Lupo Bianco). With the Pradel-Salei cable car, we overcome the last altitude meters before heading back to Selva di Val Gardena via the Sella Pass, the Stone City, and the fantastic flow trails at Plan de Gralba. From here, Ortisei can be reached again via the “Rodaval” cycle path.

Beautiful training session with uphills on the Sonnenberg of Schluderns and Laas

This route is suitable for a leisurely excursion, for families, and for mountain bike or e-bike tours for warm-up. The Resia lake can be cycled in both directions. Almost exclusively on asphalt, start along the cycle and gravel path from the famous church tower in Graun northwards to Reschen - past the sailing boats waiting for wind. Don't cycle straight forward to the Austrian state border. Instead, follow the cycle path in Reschen towards the western lakeside, past the Schöneben valley station, and calmly tackle the incline along the lake. The route is leisurely - until the southern lakeside with the dam wall and there is a fantastic view over the Malser Haide and King Ortler (3,905 m). At the dam, turn north and enjoy the panorama with the lake and the approaching mountains back to Graun. If the wind is strong, kiters and sailors can be spotted on Lake Reschen. There are cozy stops along the lake at the Sciuri at the Schöneben valley station, at the taverns Greinhof and Giernhof, at the new kitestation or at the businesses in Reschen and Graun.

On the cycle path along the river Pflerscherbach to St. Anton in Pflersch. From here on the trails 35A, 27 and 27A on the other side of the valley in the other direction and on the trail 35A to Ladurns. Back to Gossensass on the trails 34B, 19A

Ausgangspunkt der MTB-Tour ist Gossensass. Der Pflerscher Straße rund 600 m Richtung Pflerschtal folgen, dann links abbiegen und der Uferpromenade entlang fährt man dann weiter in westliche Richtung.

From Reschen head via Vallierteck in the direction of Rojen. Arrived at the Kopferbrücke bridge parking lot of the Rescher Alm, take the main road on the right to reach the Rojen valley. Here the trail continues slightly uphill on the asphalt road. At the crossroads to the hamlet of Rojen, continue straight on and then turn left towards Schöneben mountain station and the alpine pasture there at 2,087m. After a short stop at the Schönebenhütte, continue below the hut on the asphalt road towards St. Valentin-Haideralm. After a long downhill ride, the gravel road "Plattweg" branches off to the right on the ski slope in the direction of Haideralm. Now it's about 3 km slightly uphill to the Haideralm at 2,120 m. Make another stop here. The regional cuisine is highly recommended. After a culinary refreshment, start the return journey to the valley. The 5 km long descent along the forest road in the direction of St. Valentin leads through beautiful spruce and larch forest to Plagött above Lake Haider. From Plagött, a wonderful view of the small natural lake opens up towards the south of the Vinschgau Valley. Once in St. Valentin, take the cycle path on the left towards the dam wall of Lake Reschen and cycle on to Graun and Reschen.

The Spitzhorn Trail is divided into three sections: the first part, which breaks off from the Gassl Trail, is a sequence of very smooth flowing curves, the middle section features jumps and features in an open area with great visibility to the scenic Wallride. The last section runs through the forest, alternating between natural terrain and various wooden footbridges that eventually lead back to the existing trail.

The Almtrail leads from the Bergkastel mountain station in the direction of Plamort. You pass directly by the Stieralm (refreshment stop). From there the trail continues to the Plamort plateau and then joins the Plamorttrail.

The trail starts at the Riatschhof and is due to the terrain in the upper part equipped with five somewhat falling turns before a flowing sloping passage comes. Another four nimble turns form the end of the trail. 
The trail then continues via the family trail to the Mutzkopf valley station.

From the Ibsenplatz in Gossensass to the train station and on the road to the Pflersch Valley. After 2 km a forest road on the left and afterwards a trail lead us to Ladurns. Then on the forest road to the pasture Allriss and back to Valley and to Gossensass on the road.

This tour impresses with its wonderful views of the Sassolungo and Sella massifs and the fewer metres in altitude that you have to climb under your own muscle power. Bikers who like to ride downhill and have a good basis in mountain bike riding technique will love this tour. Also for kids who are already good mountain bikers, the trails of this tour guarantee a perfect biking day. Surrounded by breathtaking panoramas and thanks to the lift support from the Ciampinoi cable car and the Gran Paradiso chairlift, the tour can easily be completed in half a day.

Parking in "Innerpflersch" (St. Anton) in the Pflersch Valley near the "Haus der Vereine". We take this road to the farms of "Stein" and here we follow the signs to “Furtalm”. Back on the same way.
