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.

A heroic ride through the empire of the Ladin legend Dolasila

She was beautiful, she was brave and she was smart: Dolasila, the Princess of Fanes and a legendary warrior, led her people on the battlefields of what is today the national park Fanes Senes Prags. Her story is packed with magical creatures and glorious victories, with treachery and deceit. Ride through the setting of this Ladin national epic on the Fanes Senes-Tour.

 

 

A Ladin Epic:

In ancient days the high plains of Fanes were ruled by a ruthless king. His beautiful daughter, however, was just the contrary. In a sign of gratitude for her compassion, the dwarfs at the Silver Lake in Canazei rewarded her with a white armour and unfailing arrows that made her invincible. After her first great battle at the Kronplatz the warrior led the Fanes people in a series of victories. Yet Dolasila was also exposed to treachery and deceit – from her enemies, but also from her own people...

For the way back, you can then decide whether you want to cycle back the same way or take the train with bike transport at a station along the route.

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.

This medium-difficulty tour starts in Antholz Niedertal and initially leads out of the valley past the Rasner Möser biotope to Oberrasen.

From there, the route descends again in wide hairpin bends to the village of Nasen. From there, you return to the Val Pusteria cycle path. The route then leads back to Neunhäusern, past the historic bridge, to Niederrasen and along the cycle path back to Antholz Niedertal.
