Objevte krásy Vinschgau

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, bend 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 refreshment. 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 Upper Belpiano Trail is a special trail, it is perfectly adapted in the landscape and has challenging parts for all single trail-lovers. The trail starts at the mountainstation Belpiano and goes trough forests down to the brach-off in direction to the 3-Country-Trail. The character changes only insignificantly in the lower part. Wonderful cross-country skiing and deep views of Lake Resia make the Schöneben Trail an unforgettable experience - an experience that can be repeated over and over again thanks to the Schönebenbahn.

Far above, it leads across the picturesque and namesake Plamort plateau past the famous tank barrages. The Plamort Trail crosses the border between Austria and Italy and ends at the historic bunker complex.

The 46km route is ideal for all athletes who do not want to miss out on a phenomenal panorama and are still looking for a challenge.

Route: Graun im Vinschgau, St. Valentin auf der Haide, Staumauer, Innerkaschon, Schöneben Hütte, Kopferbrücke, Rescher Alm, Gravalada, Grünsee, Berggasthof Riatschhof, Naudersmühlen, Nauders Dorf, Talstation Bergkastel-Bergbahn, Stieralm, Plamortböden, Etschquelle, Reschen, Graun im Vinschgau.

Starting in Reschen and heading north across the border to Nauders, we follow the state roads through the Inn valley towards Prutz. Here we turn right in the village and follow the road up to the Kaunerberg. From here we follow the high road in the direction of Wenns, which takes us further and continues to Imst. From Imst we follow the state road up to the Ötztaler Höhe, where we turn right and follow the course of the Ötztal. Arriving in Sölden, the climb up to the Timmelsjoch slowly begins. After the magnificent view, we descend into the Passeier Valley, towards Merano and via the Vinschgerstraße back to Reschen.

The mountain bike tour leads along a forest path to the Malga Stelvio di Sopra/Oberen Stilfser Alm, which makes it ideal for e-bikers. At the end of this relatively easy tour, a managed alpine hut awaits you, with its own alpine dairy and refreshment facilities.

The mountain bike tour to the Rifugio Forcola/Furkelhütte is a wonderful tour to a hut with a breathtaking view and the possibility to stop for refreshments. As the tour runs through a forest path it is very suitable for e-bikers.

You can already look forward to the delicious menu before your start: The cozy Lyfi mountain hut awaits you with homemade yoghurt with strawberries and traditional dishes from Val Venosta after an ascent of 1300 meters in altitude on beautiful gravel paths and asphalt road. Start at Val Martello’s Trattla sports and leisure center with the culturamartell visitor center and take the road through the wonderful berry valley. Turn right after 300m to reach Martello’s valley path which takes you along the Plima river. The first 400 meters in altitude take you along the babbling river and some strawberry fields in the partially already narrower valley. Having passed Café Hölderle and Restaurant Hotel Waldheim you reach the Romanesque chapel of Santa Maria alla Fonderia.
Continue on the road that has become famous due to Giro d’Italia 2014 with some turns and straight road sections through a wonderful landscape characterized by hay barns, lush meadows and berry fields. Pass by the summer and winter biathlon center until you reach the mighty dam wall. Push your bike across the 83m-high dam wall of Lake Gioveretto and continue along the lake shore. Then you take the asphalt road again to proceed with the last 450 meters in altitude. After a few turns turn right in the left-hand turn with wonderful mountain panorama before the parking in Alta Val Martello and take the forest road towards the Lyfi mountain hut. You reach your worthwhile destination after a few short ups and downs.

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.

It leads from the Riatscherhof on easy paths back to the valley station of the Mutzkopf cable car.

The second trail of the Haider Alm, the Haider Flow Trail, is a nice trail from the Haider Alm down to San Valentino/St. Valentin. Most of the time you ride on the ski slope, but there are also parts through woods - so this trail is a diverse trail for anyone.

One of the top trails in Laces – very flowing at the beginning with more demanding passages towards the end of the trail.

Start at the Malga di Laces mountain hut and take the forest road towards Töbrunn. Take trail no. 4 at the wayside and cross after 1km. There is a short, steep passage before you follow the beautiful, flowing forest floor trail until the forest road. Cross it and continue on the flowing trail passing by the eponymous Roatbrunn (red fountain). After a short stretch on the Malga di Tarres forest road you get to the next section which meets the Malga di Tarres trail after some 800m. Cross the moss-green forest on slightly washed out passages, easy steps and super forest floor trails. Towards the end the trail becomes more demanding until you get to the Ramini irrigation channel path.

Technical difficulty: S3

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.

The new, blue Hofratseck Trail circles playfully from the Bergkastelbahn mountain station over almost 2 kilometres through the pine trees to the Hofratseck, where it joins the red (and considerably rougher) Bergkastel Trail. However, you can also descend via a wide forest path to the valley station of the Bergkastelbahn or pedal gently uphill for 10 minutes to the Stieralm.

With 29 km - the easiest of the 4 possible courses. Suitable for beginners who like to enjoy the view and the landscape in peace.

Route: Graun im Vinschgau, St. Valentin auf der Haide, Staumauer, Innerkaschon, Schöneben Hütte, Kopferbrücke, Rescher Alm, Tendershof, Reschen, Graun im Vinschgau.

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.

Get started the tour from any accessible point on the lake. The loop is exactly 5 km long and is suitable for children, families and adults as a leisurely bike tour. The path always runs directly along the shore of Haidersee lake and is mainly gravelled, with very little asphalt. The highlight is the footbridge between the fisherman's houses and the west side and the constantly accompanying view of the Ortler group.

Note: The bikes need to be pushed along the walkway.

From St. Valentin over the dam wall of lake Resia, the tour takes us westwards through the hamlet of Innerkaschon up to the old road towards Schöneben (above the old Reschensee road). The climb is approx. 8 km and 650 m in altitude, first on asphalt and then on gravel, mainly through forest, to the Haideralm mountain restaurant with its beautiful panoramic terrace overlooking the surrounding mountains and the two lakes. The descent leads back 350 m along the ascent route before turning on the right towards Zerzer valley. Cross the ski slope to hiking trail no. 7, which leads to the Bruggeralm alpine hut, where you can enjoy some excellent dumplings and alpine cheese in the summer months. After the bridge behind the alpine hut, turn left and follow signpost no. 8, past the St. Martin chapel to the Faulen See lake and continue down the paths to the Vinschger cycle path. Turn left and cycle comfortably along the Haidersee lake back to St. Valentin.

Note: The name "Goas" comes from the Vinschgau dialect and means goat. When farmers in this region increasingly practised "Goashaltung" in agriculture, this mountain was the grazing area for these animals.

The Gerry Trail makes the hearts of experienced bikers beat faster. Very playful, it winds its way down the valley and offers many a technical challenge. But: every spot can be easily bypassed and the lower part is more relaxed to master.

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.

The mountain bike tour to the Malga Vitelli/Kälberalm is an easy tour, which leads through the forest to an alpine pasture. Since the tour follows a forest path, it is suitable for e-bikers.

The Bike Highline Meran/o links up with the pastures on the Nörderberg mountain, permitting cyclists to cross it at an altitude of 1,450 – 1,900 m, from the west to the east and vice versa. One reaches the Bike Highline Meran/o through various Uphills, or by utilizing either the Aschbach cableway or the shuttle service. From the Bike Highline Meran/o there are various single and forest trails returning back down into the valley. The stretch between the Tablanderalm and Mauslochalm mountain pastures is technically challenging All other routes are generally accessible & do not present complications.

The trail starts at the end of the Gerry Trail and ends at the Riatschof. From here you can either take the Riatschwegele Trail 2 or an easier variant to the Mutzkopf valley station.
The trail is one of the flowiest and easiest in our area. It is perfectly adapted to the terrain. Playful lines make the trail very attractive. After about 0.5 KM a northshore leads in the opposite direction of the trail and leads very flat with short pedaling passages to the end of the trail.

With an inimitable way the trained and motivated kitchen team celebrates the daily in a masterly manner delicious menus. Only the best and the freshest natural and regional products, which are chosen in accordance with the time of year, are lovingly prepared as refined creations.

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.

Glurns, the smallest town in South Tyrol, captivates with its historic walls, arcades, and hidden gems. This bike tour takes you along the Adige River, past green orchards and rolling vineyards into the picturesque lowlands of South Tyrol. Arriving in Egna, you'll feel the change in scenery: Mediterranean flair meets Alpine scenery – narrow streets, charming wine cellars, and the South Tyrolean Wine Road, home to fine wines. A delightful tour through history and nature.

Although Glurns is accessible by bus, we recommend traveling to Mals if you're traveling by public transport, as you can book bike transport there (bikes cannot be taken on regular buses). From Mals, you can reach the starting point of the tour in about 5 minutes by bike. The train station in Egna is ideal for the return journey.

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.
