What goes up comes back around
Uschi branches off the Richard-Anton trail and is brand-new: Hand-crafted in 2020, this trail through the woods is one to watch out for: It starts off with a climb to its highest point, after which it's bend after bend, roller after roller and some more tricky challenges that require creative solutions. Uschi briefly forks off Richard-Anton before merging back into it again just before it ends.

Located in the lower section of the Herrnsteig trail and dotted with wide and flowing bends, this is the ideal line for riders looking for an alternative to root-covered “classic” trails.
Level: medium
This circular tour around South Tyrol's number one ski resort, the Kronplatz, can be started from any of the villages surrounding the mountain and can be ridden in both directions, clockwise and counterclockwise. It takes the ardent cyclist past many idyllic villages and through the beautiful nature of the Puster and Gader Valley. A special highlight is the ascent to the 1,789 m high Furkel Pass, which offers an incomparable panorama of the valley below. Along the route, there are numerous opportunities to take a break and indulge in local delicacies in an alpine hut or at a bar or restaurant in the villages.
This medium-difficulty tour starts in Antholz Niedertal and initially leads out of the valley past the Rasner Möser biotope to Oberrasen. There the route turns off onto the Burgfriedenstraße and the ascent to Burgfrieder Stöckl begins. The route now continues along a forest road to Redensberg and on another section of the forest, which is almost flat, to Aschbach. 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.
#franzthetrail
Franz is awesome and a bit reminiscent of Little Canada. Together with Hans, it is among the first completely hand-built trails at Kronplatz and absolutely not suited for newbies. And quite frankly, some of its sections will even make most pros break a sweat. Today, Franz is one of the coolest trails at Kronplatz – and a MTB dream come true for many riders. Where to find it? It branches off from the Herrnsteig trail a little above the Herzlalm inn.
Length: 978 m
Difference in altitude: 207 m

The Andreas Trail - a hand-made trail masterpiece in the valley area which is not directly accessible by lift. It requires full concentration, riding skills and above all experience! This Trail belongs to the best what skilled freeriders can find at Kronplatz.
Length: 900 m
Difficulty: Difficult
This medium-difficulty tour first leads you out of the valley on the cycle path, past the football pitch in Niederrasen and under the Puster Valley road. The route then continues to Oberolang and veers towards the Pustertal Valley cycle path. After the cemetery in Oberolang, turn right, follow the road to the hamlet of Salla and cycle on to Welsberg. Follow the cycle path along the river in the direction of the Gsieser Valley. After approx. 2 km, turn off towards Taisten, cycle through the village and then reach the beautiful hill from where you have a breathtaking view of the Dolomites. Continue along the road until you reach the Obergoste, from where you descend to Rasen. After the Hotel Alte Goste, the cycle path turns right to Rasen (gravel road from here) and you return directly to Niederrasen.

Wonderful mountain bike tour to the Pricheralm hut in the little mountain-village Weißenbach/Rio Bianco!
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.
Rocks and Rolls
Introduced in 2019, Richard-Anton is a kilometre’s worth of pure awesomeness with a fierce uphill stretch at the start, plus hand-carved waves and bends throughout. The absolute highlight and a top-notch spot for action shots: the rock roller in the upper third of the trail. A dream come true.
The trail starts directly opposite the entrance to the second part of the Korer trail and is not connected to the lifts.
Level: medium to difficult
This challenging route starts in Rasen and first leads into the Antholzertal valley. The cycle path leads to Antholz Mittertal, after which you cycle the last stretch to Lake Antholz on the road. From there, the steep ascent to the Staller Sattel border crossing to Austria begins (Important! Temporary one-way traffic regulation with traffic light: from South Tyrol to Austria every hour from the 30th to the 45th minute; from Austria to South Tyrol every hour from the full hour to the 15th minute). There are huts on both sides of the mountain pass where you can take a short break and enjoy the breathtaking panorama. On the Austrian side, the route then descends again through the Defereggen Valley through the rugged mountain landscape to our destination, the village of St. Jakob.
The moderately difficult e-bike tour runs mainly on asphalt roads, but also on a forest path. The tour offers a wonderful view of the Höhlensteintal/Val di Landro valley and the Toblach/Dobbiaco lake.

Fitness & Fun
This trail is best described as a bit of a rascal: cheeky, naughty, unpredictable and rough around the edges. The perfect trail to break a sweat and have tons of fun while toiling away. But a word of caution: It’s only suitable for riders who are already good at manoeuvring their bike safely.
Christian starts at the Bergfreundehütte inn, where it forks off from the Herrnsteig trail. After about 1 km, it merges with the Franz trail.

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
This line offers a more comfortable and flowing alternative to the far rougher and more technical Herrnsteig trail section.
Level: easy to medium
This challenging tour, which requires a certain level of fitness, starts in Niederrasen and first leads into the valley, past Lake Antholz, up to the Staller Sattel mountain pass (Attention! Temporary one-way regulation with traffic light: from South Tyrol to Austria every hour from the 30th to the 45th minute). The route then descends into the Defereggen Valley and turns left just before Erlsbach. The route then leads; first on tarmac, then on gravel; along the river to the famous hunting lodges. Then it leads up to the Klammljoch Pass and from there downhill again, past the Knuttenalm mountain hut, to Rein in Taufers. From there, the route runs along the paved road to Sand in Taufers and along the cycle path out of the valley to Bruneck. From there, take the Pustertal Valley cycle path back to Niederrasen, turning off at Neunhäusern into the Antholzertal Valley.
The ascent to the Comici Hut is sweaty, but the biker is spared the remaining metres in altitude thanks to the Gran Paradiso chairlift. The absolute highlight of the variant are the flow trails: from the highest point of the City of Stones, which is reached thanks to the chairlift, the Paravis Trail, which lives up to its name, leads to the mountain station of the Piz Seteur cable car. From there, you can choose between the flowy Family Trail or the adrenaline-pumping Easy Jump Line. From Plan de Gralba, a last trail leads to the left side of the stream to Selva Gardena and via the valley cycle path you finally reach the starting point in S. Cristina.
#hansthetrail
Hans is, in a way, an extension of Franz. Painstakingly carved and hewn into the slope over the course of countless hours of manual labour, it boasts bends, waves and steep sections galore – all of which come in rapid succession. This ever-changing trail requires full concentration from top to bottom: pure bliss for experienced mountain bikers.
Beginners beware: Chances are that Hans might be a bit overwhelming, so we recommend staying on the original Herrnsteig trail.
