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.
Along this short trail, mountain bikers must conquer an altitude of 210 m over a distance of 1.1 km, and the trail is therefore suitable for both beginners and those making a comeback. Along the way, bikers can enjoy a wonderful view of Annenberg Castle and San Martino in Monte.
This tour takes you along forest roads through masses of woodland to the Schlern-Rosengarten nature reserve. The trail leads past the Völser Weiher Lake and the Tuff Alm hut mountain hut to the Hofer Alpl on the slopes of the Schlern.

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).
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.

"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!
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.
A fireworks of trails for experts with head for heights due to exposed S3-G5 passages at the Laces panoramic trail. S2 at the successive Propain trail.
The name of the Laces panoramic trail says it: the panorama is amazing. But this trail is also simply marvelous as it includes everything from technical and exposed passages with hairpins to flowing forest trails and stepped passages. Start at the mountain station of San Martino in Monte (1,740 m). First take the asphalt road and then the gravel hiking path no. 14. After about 2.5 km, the actual trail begins shortly after the Egghof.
Please note: There is a time regulation from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. for hikers only!
The partially rather exposed path with some technical passages takes you along the slope passing by the Laggar and Zuckbichl ruins. You will be overwhelmed by the wonderful panorama again and again. After a few flow sections, steep hairpins and a short stretch where bikes have to be carried (S3-S4) you get to a forest road and can start the propain trail shortly after Patsch.
The trail becomes more flowing but with many narrow turns on the beautiful trail floor of Val Venosta’s Sun Mountain. The sunny slope declines sharply near the trail and clearings offer views of the apple orchards and the fantastic mountain world. This trail section of 550 depth meters was built with a width of 80 cm and thus offers security to beginners and leaves space for speed and airtime to experts. If you don’t want to get off the bike, a good turn technique and back wheel lifting are required in narrow turns. You can stop for a refreshment with view at Fisolgut near Castel Schlandersberg with a few extra meters.
Several “Share the Trail” sections are marked. The rest of trail no. 14 as well as trail no. 7 are for hikers only!
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!
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.
Laion Bike-Tour
Extremely diverse tour, which really offers everything that makes an eventful MTB route. Different grounds, the change between woods and meadows, views and pleasant shade, and not least the interesting profile with several ascents and descents of different gradients, as well as short flat sections lend this circular tour a unique character. After not quite 12km, there is also the opportunity to tackle a further ascent to one of the two managed cabins, or to choose the descent straight back to Laion/Lajen.
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.
The panoramic plateau of the Cisloner Alm affords visitors marvelous views of the magnificent "Unterland" district of South Tyrol and the stunning Dolomiti di Brenta – for this reason alone, this tour is a "must-have" for every cyclist vacationing in Kaltern / Caldaro. And then there's also the initial ascent along the former Fleims / Fiemme Valley railroad line, where you will overcome about 800 meters of altitude differential with a grade of no more than six percent. This railroad line from Auer / Ora to Predazzo was built during World War I by Russian prisoners of war to transport men and matériel from the Etsch / Adige Valley to the Fleims / Fiemme Valley towards the front. After the conclusion of the war, this small railroad transported chiefly wood and passengers until it was finally shut down in the 1960s due to shrinking profitability. The only thing that remained was the perfectly established route which, today, serves as a gravel road called the "former Fleims / Fiemme Valley railroad" or "ex ferrovia." Because the locomotives back then were unable to manage a grade of more than five or six percent, this route is perfect for cyclists – you will be able to gently ascend the meters of altitude differential. As you approach Kaltenbrunn / Fontanefredde, you'll leave the railway route and proceed a short distance uphill along the road to Truden. You'll then proceed along the short, steep and partially surfaced ramp up to the Cisloner Alm. This route will take you back to Truden / Trodena. Then you'll enter a narrow side valley through which the Truden Brook flows down towards the Etsch / Adige River. As you glide through historic villages and lovely vineyards down to Neumarkt / Egna, you can enjoy the fabulous vista of the Etsch / Adige Valley. At Pinzon / Pinzano, you'll again cross the former railroad and pass under the viaduct as you arrive at the medieval village of Neumarkt with its historical center. The return trip to Kaltern is via the bicycle trail – in the afternoon, a strong southerly wind often blows, helping you to speed back to your starting-point.
Variants: You can also follow the former railroad line and attack the "Jochgrimm" tour. In Truden / Trodena, you can take a left turn and enjoy the "Kanzel" or "Trudner Horn" tours.
Mustn't be missed: The bicycle path along the former Fleims / Fiemme Valley railroad line, the lovely alpine village of Truden, the long-range panoramic vista of the "Unterland" district of South Tyrol, Kaltern / Caldaro, the majestic Monte Roen, the fabulous Mendel, and the mighty Penegal.
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.
From Algund to Meran in the direction of the Passeier Valley. Before you come to the Zenoberg bridge, which leads across the Gilf canyon, turn right uphill to the Passer dam. The cycle path leads you mostly on gravelled road along the river Passer, which you must cross (bridges) several times. Passing the villages of Riffian, Saltaus and St. Martin. The road is well marked and without extended uphill runs until St. Leonhard.
Starting in the centre of Trodena we ride downhill a few kilometres. The asphalted street passes vineyards where you can enjoy the amazing view of the Valle dell'Adige. 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. With an easy grade, as it was necessary for an old steam locomotive, we follow the old railroad tracks over bridge constructions and pleasant gravel paths until we reach Fontanefredde. After only two kilometres you'll reach again the centre of Trodena.
Tour Nr. 2
Possible restaurant stops: Hotel Restaurant Schönwies and Hotel Restaurant Trudnerhof
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.
Worth seeing: Castles like the former Lichtenberg Fortress, the parish church of Montechiaro with building features and frescos from the 13th century, the St. Christina chapel (1575) with a chancel closed on three sides, wall paintings and shingle roof.
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.
Starting from the Etschbrüücke bridge in Kastelbell, the uphill trail to Marzoner Alm mountain pasture leads first along a very steep, paved mountain road to the hamlet of Freiberg (1,200 m). Above Freiberg, at the Pramanthof farm (6,6 km), the surface changes to a gravel road and the slope becomes less steep.The forest path winds its way to the Freiberger Säge parking lot (1.480 m) and then to the Marzoner Alm mountain pasture
This tour leads to the child-friendly Marinzen Alm mountain hut. It is ideal for fit families and boasts spectacular views over Kastelruth. Biking newbies or less-fit bikers have the option of taking the Marinzen lift (bike transport) uphill, and then enjoy all the fun of the variety-packed descent.
