Cyklistické trasy v jižním Tyrolsku

We start this tour in Niederrasen and it first takes us out of the valley to Neunhäusern, where we then turn left towards Niederolang. We then continue past the church to the hamlet of Mühlbach and on to Gassl, where the valley station of the Olang cable car is located. This is where the ascent to the Furkel Pass at 1,789 metres above sea level begins. We initially ride along a gravel road until we turn onto the paved Furkelstraße, which then leads us to our destination. Once we reach the pass, we can enjoy the marvellous view of the surrounding mountains before returning to Niederrasen along the same route.

From San Vigilio, first go to La Ila/La Villa where you turn left towards San Cassiano, and start the ascent on a very bendy road to Passo Falzarego. From there, the exhilarating descent takes you quickly down to Cortina. An uphill stretch leads to Passo Tre Croci and the picturesque Lake Misurina, where the descent begins towards Dobbiaco. From Dobbiaco, follow the main road to reach Brunico and San Lorenzo and then follow the old Val Badia road (along the tunnels) to Longega and, a few kilometres further on, San Vigilio.

On this easy and family-friendly tour, we start in the centre of Antholz Mittertal and cycle out of the valley on the cycle path, past the MTB area and the fish pond in Antholz Niedertal. The route then leads past the Rasner Möser biotope and the leisure park in Niederrasen to the end of the valley at the historic bridge. There, we use the underpass that runs beneath the main road to reach the other side of the valley. We continue past Neunhäusern to Niederolang, and from there, it's only a short distance to our destination in Mitterolang. Once there, you can explore the surrounding area and visit numerous bars and restaurants. Special highlights in Olang are also the Kids Area Panorama and the Kids’ World Olang.

Option of Trail n°2:

Light line. Flat trail with large curve, small natural elements like roots and stones.

Starting from the north of the country, the cycle route gently descends along the old railway line in winding curves, leading you to Colle Isarco (Gossensass) and then on to Vipiteno (Sterzing). Shortly after leaving the Brenner Pass, you can enjoy your first Italian cappuccino in a charming cultural gem along the way. In the renovated railway crossing keeper’s house, you’ll find the charming bistro “Route 232”.
The route then takes you straight into the heart of the Fugger town of Vipiteno – simply ride through the open arch of the iconic Zwölferturm (Tower of the Twelve). From there, the path continues over flat and slightly uphill sections, passing through villages and hamlets until you reach the impressive Franzensfeste Fortress. A stop here is highly recommended to explore the exhibition rooms of this historical structure, originally built for war but never actually used in combat.

The cycle path then takes you past the Vahrn Lake before arriving in the medieval bishop's town of Brixen. There, you can reflect on your tour with a glass of wine, stroll beneath the arcades, explore local culture, or head straight back into the peaceful natural surroundings.

And if your legs are running out of motivation, don’t worry – the train offers a comfortable way back to your starting point.

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

The Altrei Loop is an ideal tour for beginners and leisure cyclists. Covering nearly 14 kilometers, it follows well-maintained gravel forest paths through the Trudner Horn Nature Park, one of South Tyrol’s most biodiverse regions. With moderate ascents and stunning views, it provides a relaxing outdoor experience. The best time to ride is late spring, summer, and autumn.

Your tour to the Brenner border ridge starts in Brennerbad - Terme di Brennero. First, cycle up the forest road to around 2,150 m, where the Brenner Pass Ridge trail begins. From there, continue almost level along trail no. 1 towards the saddle "Steinjoch". Shortly afterwards, turn right onto trail no. 3, which takes you to the Steinalm hut. A little further on, turn right again onto a steep forest road that leads you back to the Brenner – Bolzano cycle path. From there, enjoy a relaxed ride back to Brennerbad - Terme di Brennero.

Option of Trail n° 3:

Medium difficulty line with natural elements like roots and stones, tight curves and wooden elements.

The start of this moderately difficult tour is in Niederrasen and first leads out of the valley to the historic bridge and from there on to Neunhäusern. Shortly afterwards, turn off towards Niederolang. Shortly after the railway subway, turn right again and cycle past the farms to Ried and on to Reischach. From there, the cycle path leads down to Bruneck and then along the Puster Valley cycle path back to Niederrasen. The highlights on this route are Lamprechtsburg Castle and the Rienz Gorge along the Puster Valley cycle path.

The Rosszähne variant diverges from the Seiser Alm hut tour, and is suitable for well-trained cyclists who want to tire themselves out before heading back to Saltria. You can also stop by the idyllic Dialer chapel and take in the magnificent views.

Tom Pro and Co. literally rolled up their sleeves when constructing the Palm Pro Line: It is hand built from top to bottom and a dream for fans of challenging lines. The line challenges advanced riders with some features, jumps and steeper passages. The length of 2.5 km is more than impressive for a hand-built line. The Palm Pro Line is one the most difficult lines in Brixen Bikepark and its name stands for the breathtaking view from Palmschoß to the UNESCO world heritage of the Dolomites.

 

Level of difficulty: Red – intermediate
Line built for technically experienced mountain bikers with good braking and cornering technique. Good jumping technique and the ability to master sharp bends is a must. The lines include different types of ground and loose soil.

The Kronplatz Bike Park is anything but ordinary. Instead of sketching trails on a drawing board, we went right into the forest and used whatever we found: Steep slope? Steep trail. Plenty of space? Perfect for jumps. Roots all over the place? Well, we’re in a forest, so there will be roots. In places where dredging was allowed, we put our excavators to work. And wherever it wasn’t, well, we didn’t. The result: At Kronplatz, there’s no copy-paste – each trail tells its own story. 

And the trail names are quite unique, too: Franz and Hans are already legendary. They’ve been a household name in the community for years. But their successors are by no means inferior to them and have long been among the favourites of countless TrailTrophy and Alpine Enduro Series participants.

18 trails await you: 1 easy-moderate, 3 moderate, 10 moderate-difficult and 2 difficult.

With a total of 5 lifts and cable-cars (Kronplatz 2000 lift, Olang 1+2 lift, Ried lift, Ruis lift and Piz de Plaies lift) up and running all summer, our mountain bikers are spoilt for choice – that’s more than most places in the Alps can say for themselves. And with the exception of the Piz de Plaies lift, they all lead right to the peak at 2,272 m above sea-level, complete with jaw-dropping 360° views.

Starting at the town hall square in Anterivo we drive through the village towards the Hotel Waldheim, and then we turn left towards Prà dal Manz. The route continues on easy forest trails and leads uphill until it reaches the Passo Cisa (1489m). By continuing, we arrive at the Malga Monte Corno (1710m), the highest point of the tour. We follow the pleasant declining road which brings us back to the starting point in the centre of Anterivo.
Tour Nr. 8

Possible Restaurant stops: Malga Monte Corno

Thanks to a few jumps and some nice back and forth action, the Hammer Line guarantees airtime and variety at a length of 1.9 km and 165 metres of height. This line is sensational – it is awesome fun. The name of the line – Hammer – is the name of the landowner who has allowed Gravity Logic to construct the line in his woods.

We then head towards Oberolang and cycle uphill through the village and past the parking lot of the Kids’ World Olang. From there, the challenging ascent begins on a gravel path into the forest, which then leads to our destination of the Brunst Alm. The ascent is rewarded with a breathtaking view of the Olang mountain range and the Kronplatz.

The splendid Sellaronda route takes you round the Sella massif, offering breathtaking glimpses of the legendary Dolomites. The tour starts in San Vigilio. When you reach the centre of Corvara, turn right and take the uphill route towards Passo Gardena. After stopping to admire the Sella massif, continue on the tarmacked road to Passo Sella and from there, go uphill to the highest pass on the route, Pordoi, where a 10km descent begins, with plenty of hairpin bends, leading to the last pass on this route, Passo Campolongo. Continue for 7km to reach Corvara and then return to San Vigilio via Longega.

This route leads mainly downhill across the Seiser Alm, past the imposing Langkofel group, and links the Seiser Alm with Selva, the set-off point for the spectacular Sella Ronda. This tour is recommended for experienced riders accompanied by a guide.
