If you want to enjoy great views and inform yourself about Europe’s highest granaries, then this is the right tour for you. Start at the Trattla sports and leisure center with the culturamartell visitor center and the South Tyrolean Strawberry World. During this tour, you pass different climate zones at Val Martello‘ Sun Mountain: from the strawberry fields along Martello’s valley path (no. 36) through the village of Martello and up to Europe’s highest mountain farms Premstl, Niederhof or Stallwies built on steep, irrigated slopes. Beautiful mountain farms with wooden shingle roofs accompany you on your way to Stallwies while crossing the partially extremely steep meadows of Martello’s Selva on the road. Just after Premstl at Niederhof, you can enjoy the impressive view of the Cevedale glacier and Martello’s high mountain world. After another three kilometers you reach the Stallwies inn where you turn right at the mill and continue on a beautiful forest road through Swiss pine forests until you reach the Wiesboden viewpoint and picnic area. If you want, you can explore the wooden irrigation channel path or the Mountain Farmer Trail by taking the path up or down.

From San Vigilio, you first cycle along the Strada al Plan Dessora and the Strada Ches Costes as well as past the water reservoir to Torpei. There, turn right and follow the forest path to Chi Vai. The route then continues to the hamlet of Val dla Tor, before reaching the group of houses in Costa bypassing the wooded hill to the right. In wide hairpin bends and with breathtaking views, the route then descends through the meadows to Ras and finally back to San Vigilio.

The Rodaval cycle path is a scenic and enjoyable route that allows cyclists to experience the beauty of the Val Gardena region in Italy. Starting from the picturesque village of Roncadizza, located at an elevation of 1130 meters, the path winds its way along the Derjon stream, providing cyclists with stunning views of the surrounding mountains and valleys.
As you ride along the path, you'll have the opportunity to stop in the charming villages of Ortisei and S. Cristina, where you can explore local shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions. The route is mostly asphalted and easy to navigate, making it suitable for cyclists of all skill levels. However, there are some climbs into the valley that may be challenging for some, so using an e-bike can be helpful.

The Schnaggenkreuz Cross loop route begins in Völs am Schlern and passes by the hamlets of Umes, Völser Aicha and Prösels, offering immense variety and close contact with the surrounding countryside. In Prösels, it is well worth taking a detour to the historic Prösels Castel, which organises fascinating guided tours.   

Before setting off on this tour, it is legitimate to think about the delicious Kaiserschmarren at the Rescher Alm. Follow the cycle path along the lakeshore from Reschen towards the Schöneben valley station. From the valley station, cycle uphill on the main road, in the direction of Rojen and then in the direction of St. Valentin to the hamlet of Spin. Shortly after the Spin's farm, take a sharp right onto the forest and meadow path. In the forest, follow the way north above lake Resia and the Rojen road past a small forest lake (1,850 m). Follow the forest road, meet the Rojen road a little later and follow it to the trendy Rescher Alm hut. Here, at an altitude of 2,000 m, with a splendid view from the terrace, enjoy one of the best lunches. From the Rescher Alm alpine hut, continue north along the forest road, down to Tenders, where the Tendershof farmhouse invites for refreshments. From here, it is not far to the final destination: Reschen.

Tip: For enduro enthusiasts: there is the option of rocking down via the 3-Länder Trail in the direction of Nauders to the Mutzkopf. From Mutzkopf, take one of the trails to Nauders.

Witnesses to the event recall the air-raid of 1943 which created the small lake at the Wuhnleger. It is now home to toads, salamanders and dragonflies, and showcases an immense biodiversity. The view of the Catinaccio and the Torri del Vajolet together with their mirror-image in the lake is an unmissable natural spectacle.

This route from Kastelruth village centre to Seis am Schlern passes through the picturesque hamlets of Tisens and St. Oswald with their small chapels, the fascinating natural spectacle of the “Ice Hole” wind tunnels, the ruins of Aichach and the Malenger water mill. The route leads, in part, along ancient roads with tracks that have been worn down over the centuries and offers beautiful views over the Eisacktal, the Ritten and, naturally, the Schlern and its neighbouring mountains.
ATTENTION: the section from km 3.2 to km 4.2 is very steep (downhill) and narrow!

New in summer 2022 in the Bike Park Kronplatz is the "Dragon Trail": the trail, over 2 kilometers long, winds along the hillside from the summit to the middle station of the Olang 1+2 lift. The highlight is definitely crossing the Dragon's Head and the Dragon's Tail, where you have a beautiful panorama of the surrounding Dolomites at the same time.

This tour around the Piz de Plaies starts at the church square in San Vigilio. From there you first follow the Strada Valiares and later past the Sarjei farm to Jù.

Then we'll reach the village of Gleno and Montagna. On the old railroad track, which leads into the Val di Fiemme, we pass the village of Montagna.

"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!

 

The Moosbühel variant of the route leads between the Rendenbühl and Tisenser Bühel hills, and offers a shorter version of the traditional Tagusens loop route. The trail is relatively flat and leads mainly through woodland.

This short tour named after the surname of this area leads from Prato/Prad which is characterised by Romanesque period, across the beautiful meadow path above the granaries of the Venosta Valley to Agumes/Agums and to Montechiaro/Lichtenberg. A tarmacked trail leads upwards, gaining a little altitude, up to the Lichtenberg Castle and the Pinethöfe farms. We cycle past the Pinethöfe and a little later, turn left into the flowy S0 to S1 trail, which merges with a small tarmacked road at the Wartamstein height, back to Prato

Tip: Please do not cycle on the popular family hiking trail.

This easy and family-friendly tour runs on paved roads throughout and starts at the parish church in St. Vigil. From there, you first head to the valley station of the Miara ski lift. From there, turn left onto Kronplatz Street and this route then leads slightly uphill through meadows and forests to Enneberg Pfarre, where you can enjoy a magnificent panoramic view. A highlight for many visitors there is the church with its high Gothic tower, which is still a popular place of pilgrimage today.

Alternatively, there are numerous other places to stop for refreshments along the way back.

The natural landscape of the Tagusens loop route offers endless variety, and leads along meadows, woods and forest trails past the two hamlets of Tisens and Tagusens. At 12.8 km it is a moderately difficult tour, but the Moosbühel route offers a shorter alternative.

The route runs along the slopes of the towering Hammerwand and Tschafon, giving bikers an extra challenge if you still have some energy left after the Schnaggenkreuz route. 

The route to the Niger pass links the biking region of the Seiser Alm to the biking adventure in the Eggental. You have to grapple with 562 m of elevation but can replenish your energies at the Refuge Niger Pass before you set off to explore the other biking region.

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).
