MTB výlety a stezky

Delightful mountain bike tour (number 262) through meadows and forests to the Wurzer Alm Mountain Hut.

The Alta Badia valley, the green valley at the heart of the Dolomites and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has been a popular destination for leisure cyclists for years. At first it was racing bike enthusiasts who loved the mountain passes, but nowadays the Dolomites region in South Tyrol is also a magnet for mountain bikers.

Located in the lower section of the Herrnsteig trail and dotted with wide and flowing bends, this is the ideal line for riders looking for an alternative to root-covered “classic” trails.

Level: medium

Uphill Trumser Alb'l from Kastelbell - marvellous panoramic views guaranteed.

The tour begins in Oberwielenbach, in the municipality of Percha, and awaits those ready to explore nature. From parking area P1, our path leads into the lush landscape, following MTB Route 444, nestled in the breathtaking surroundings of the Rieserferner-Ahrn Nature Park. With the gentle murmur of the Wielenbach stream as your companion, the light climb becomes a pleasure. You’ll be surrounded by the unspoiled beauty of dense forests and pass rustic alpine meadows like Lercher Alm and Heidacher Alm, where the landscape opens up in all its splendor. Here, amidst nature, you can take a well-deserved break, refresh yourself, and, if necessary, recharge your e-bike battery for the final ascent. Upon arrival, a breathtaking panorama awaits, making every breath and pedal stroke worth it. The return is along the same route, offering you another chance to admire the valley’s beauty from a new perspective. This tour through Wielen Valley offers a perfect mix of natural beauty and physical challenge.

This alternative route has it all: The exceptionally steep access trail to the Tierser Alpl Refuge gives you the chance to extend the Duron Valley tour, and leads to this breathtaking mountain hut amidst the rock formations of the Rosszahn and the Rosengarten Antermoia.

This tour starts at the “Segeria/Säge" junction on forest path no. 37 towards Ponticello/Brückele. You follow this over a short section on the paved road to Ponticello/Brückele. There again the forest path no. 37 towards Prato Piazza/ Plätzwiese. When you have arrived on the Prato Piazza/ Plätzwiese high plateau, continue on the wide gravel road to the Rifugio Vallandro/Dürrensteinhütte - hut. After a recommended rest, you take the 7 km long descent on the wide military road towards Carbonin/Schluderbach. From there you follow the cycle path for 13 km to Dobbiaco/Toblach. From Dobbiaco/Toblach, an asphalt bike path leads you to Villabassa/Niederdorf and then to Braies/Prags to the starting point.

This variant leads to one of the most famous photo spots since the advent of social media. The ascent is only for really fit bikers and even with an ebike, the slope is only suitable for trained legs. But at the summit you are rewarded with a wonderful view of the Odle peaks, the Sella massif and the Sassolungo. But beware: if you cycle up the steep gravel roads, you also have to cycle down on them, and that requires a lot of strength, both uphill and downhill.

The Alpe di Siusi is probably the most ideal "playground" for bikers who want a relaxed tour combined with breathtaking views of the surrounding Dolomites. Europe's largest high alp offers not only breathtaking panoramas on this tour, but also a great mix of ascents and descents for pleasure bikers.

Mountain Bike Tour from Innerbach Hof to Schwarzbachalm

Right after the first few meters, you are surrounded by the calm of nature, with small clearings along the way offering occasional views of the valley.

Covering just under 1 kilometre with an ascent of about 120 vertical metres, this short but fairly steep climb is ideal as a warm-up or a relaxed outing. The wide and well-surfaced path makes it easy and safe even for less experienced mountain bikers.

At the top, the charming Schwarzbachalm awaits at around 1,380 m. Here you can enjoy sunny spots and traditional South Tyrolean dishes before heading back. The return follows the same route – a smooth and fun downhill ride back to the Innerbach Hof.

 

#hansthetrail

Hans is, in a way, an extension of Franz. Painstakingly carved and hewn into the slope over the course of countless hours of manual labour, it boasts bends, waves and steep sections galore – all of which come in rapid succession. This ever-changing trail requires full concentration from top to bottom: pure bliss for experienced mountain bikers.

Beginners beware: Chances are that Hans might be a bit overwhelming, so we recommend staying on the original Herrnsteig trail.

Length: 750 m

Bike Beats Pralongiá is a trail which goes through the meadows downhill from the Pralongiá. It is a medium-easy trail (blue) with a total length of 1120 metres and an altitude difference of 134 metres.

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 Sky Line has the longest tradition in the Brixen BikePark. It is really fast, physically demanding and requires very good control, excellent jumping technique and safe driving skills. The line starts at the mountain station of Plose gondola lift and leads to the intermediate station.

By bike to the Freiberger Alm/Mahd on the Kastelbell Nörderberg

There's nothing wrong with a bit of fun – it was this motivation which in autumn 2014 broke the ground for the Piz de Plaies trail in San Vigilio. The trail is filled to the brim with jumps and banked curves. It's only a short ride up on the Pedagà-Piz de Plaies cable car before the track winds back down into the valley on a mad series of bends. Not a single section of this trail is straight, so prepare for active riding and leave your fear of steep passages at home. It's a guaranteed buzz! Suitable for true pros and medium-advanced riders.

From Kreuztal/Valcroche, this enjoyment tour leads up over gravel paths to 2,450 meters, where the Plosehütte is enthroned. The 360 degree view can be enjoyed and explored particularly well at the panoramic table at the telegraph.

The Rock Line was created from the lower part of the Sky Line in 2024. Sky Line and Rock Line can still be ridden in one go. Just like the Ski Line, the Rock Line is steep and technically demanding and requires very good control, excellent jumping technique and safe driving skills. It starts at the middle station of the Plose gondola lift and ends just before the valley station.

Length: 2.43 km | Altitude difference: 473 m | Average inclination: 19% | Difficulty: black

Very nice mountain bike tour to the Schönbergalm hut in Weißenbach/Rio Bianco, where special culinary highlights and a stunning view of the mountainous landscape are waiting!

 

This is a short, easy tour that begins in the small hamlet Videgg. The Videgger Assen are a collection of steep mountain pastures that are still mown by hand in summer months.

#franzthetrail

Franz is awesome and a bit reminiscent of Little Canada. Together with Hans, it is among the first completely hand-built trails at Kronplatz and absolutely not suited for newbies. And quite frankly, some of its sections will even make most pros break a sweat. Today, Franz is one of the coolest trails at Kronplatz – and a MTB dream come true for many riders. Where to find it? It branches off from the Herrnsteig trail a little above the Herzlalm inn.

Length: 978 m

The mountainbike roundtour with the Silvesteralm/Malga San Silvestro hut and the Lachwiesenhütte/Rifugio Lachwiesen hut, which invite you to stop for a break, runs mainly on forest paths in the middle of the forest. This tour does not have any difficult parts.

 

The masterpiece

First opened in 2018, this hand-made trail in the lower part of Kronplatz branches off from the Andreas trail after the first few bends. Compared to Andreas, Alex requires a bit more pedalling and an active, anticipatory riding style. The trail is a true masterpiece and mountain bikers far and wide love it: The feedback at the 2018 TrailTrophy was quite simply overwhelming.

Level: medium to difficult
