Cyklistické trasy v jižním Tyrolsku

Spectacular Dolomite peaks and legendary mountain passes: The Sellaronda is one of the most beautiful and popular circular routes in the Alps and offers all kinds of exciting options in winter or in summer. One of these is the Sellaronda mountain biking tour. The tour requires a good level of physical fitness and mountain biking experience, because there are some tricky climbs and a few difficult descents to manage. However, for the last few years there has been the option of avoiding some of the particularly steep climbs by using lifts, making it possible to complete the tour in a day.

Thanks to several chairlifts and cablecars the height difference to ride up by bike is relatively small in the clockwise route of the Sellaronda MTB TOUR. There are several descents on bike trails, which require a medium level of bike practice. The time needed to complete the tour varies according the ability of the biker: generally from 5 to a maximum of 9 hours, lunch break included.

From Prato/Prad, the beautiful racing bike tour to Solda/Sulden is recommended. Via Gomagoi and through the Suldental Valley you turn – step by step – closer to the world renowned Solda which is situated on a small plateau. The view to the impressive mountain world all around the Ortler mountain from one of the sun terraces in the village is worth the effort. The descent is all the way back on the same trail.

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.

 

Level of difficulty: Blue – easy
Line suitable for mountain bikers with safe, advanced riding technique and proficiency in jumping. There are artificial obstacles such as banked curves, wall rides, steep steps and jumps.

The mountainbike tour from Solda across the Madriccio Pass is a slightly steep path to the Passo del Madriccio, where you can enjoy a fabulous panoramic view. Marvel at Ortler, Zebru and Gran Zebru as well as at the glaciers around Cima Cevedale and Monte Cevedale. Also the downhill to the Rifugio Martello and Rifugio Corsi is absolutely a highlight.

The Adige cycling Trail runs along the ancient Roman road Via Claudia Augusta, in some parts flat in others downhill. The excellent network of cycle paths in the Vinschgau Valley allows for relaxed cycling on good surfaces, either asphalted or gravelled and rolled. The Adige Cycling Tour is particularly popular for moderate cyclists. There are different stations where it is possible to rent bicycles and return them in some other stations. So there is no need to bring your own bike. Simplify the tour and jump with the bike on the Vinschger Train at any time.

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.

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 here, you’ll enjoy breathtaking views of the surrounding Dolomites – well worth every bit of effort along the way.

The starting point is easily accessible by train, and bikes are allowed on board. Unfortunately, buses do not transport bicycles. We recommend continuing from Castelrotto to Ponte Gardena (see Castelrotto–Vipiteno tour) to catch the train back from there.
