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 Rit tour starts in Pikolein and offers a varied route of approximately 25 kilometers. The trail initially leads along paved roads through the picturesque valley before turning into gravel sections through dense forests and meadows. Along the way, impressive viewpoints await you, including views of the majestic Dolomites and the idyllic Gader Valley. A recommended place to stop for a break is the Fanes mountain hut, where you can enjoy regional delicacies and a cozy atmosphere.
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.
The mountain bike tour from Katharinaberg to the Moaralm, the oldest high alpine pasture in the Tyrolean region, is a scenic and enjoyable route for those who want to experience the sunny side of the Schnals Valley. With a moderate incline and stunning views, it’s ideal for pleasure riders, families, or as a shorter afternoon ride.
Starting in the picturesque village of Katharinaberg, a well-maintained forest road climbs steadily above the sunny slope of the valley. Along the way, beautiful vistas open up over the lower Schnals Valley and the surrounding mountains. Sunshine, mountain scenery, and the peace of nature accompany every pedal stroke.
The Moaralm sits at around 2,099 meters, nestled in a tranquil alpine landscape. Managed during the summer months, it offers hearty South Tyrolean specialties. A place to pause, enjoy, and breathe deeply in the mountain air.
The reminiscence of the Giro d'Italia. Walk in the footsteps of the racing bike stars and Giro legends and cover 769 m of altitude. The (sports) history-laden adventure tour does not yet take you to the Stallersattel, but "only" to the Antholz Lake. That should be enough to warm you up. The ride along the valley cycle path through Olang and the Anthiolz Valley offers a great first overview - but the last climb to the biathlon centre gives you a real Giro feeling. Don't forget your pink jersey!
Who does not have a bicycle can rent a good bike in one of the various rental stations in Campo Tures/Sand in Taufers.
Antholz Niedertal > Walder Farms > Hofstattalm Hut > Langegg Hut > Antholz Niedertal.
The Brenner Bike Route spans 96 kilometers through the Eisack Valley down to Bolzano. Enjoy gentle hills, charming villages, and cultural treasures along the way. Ideal for those who love to combine nature, culture, and active travel.
Pumptracks are popular meeting spots for kids, teens, and adults.
In October 2025, an pumptrack was built in Naturno. The pumptrack in Naturno is located near the tennis and beach volleyball courts. Like all the pumptracks, it is asphalted and marked with directional signage that must be followed for safety reasons.
A pump track is a purpose-built track for cycling. It has a circuit of rollers, banked turns and features designed to be ridden completely by riders "pumping"—generating momentum by up and down body movements, instead of pedaling or pushing. It was originally designed for the mountain bike and BMX scene, and now, due to concrete and/or asphalt constructions, is also used for skateboarding, and accessible to wheelchairs. Pump tracks are relatively simple to use and cheap to construct, and cater to a wide variety of rider skill levels.
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.
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.

After the Hotel Alte Goste, the cycle path turns right to Rasen (gravel road from here) and you return directly to Niederrasen.
The mountain bike tour from Madonna di Senales to the idyllic Mastaunalm is a real insider tip for anyone wishing to discover the unspoiled beauty of the Schnalstal Valley on two wheels.

Starting from the small pilgrimage site of Madonna di Senales, the gravel path gently climbs through the untouched Mastauntal Valley – a true gem in the Ötztal Alps. The ascent is steady yet manageable, and rewards riders with a profound sense of peace far from the tourist crowds. At 1,810 meters, the Mastaunalm is a real treasure: nestled in a soft alpine landscape, it offers not only breathtaking views but also the warm hospitality South Tyrol is known for.

The mountain bike tour from Karthaus to the Klosteralm is a rewarding ride that blends nature with cultural heritage. It begins in the quiet village of Karthaus, once home to the Carthusian monastery “Allerengelberg”, and follows a peaceful forest road up into the alpine world.
The gravel path ascends steadily through a dense mountain forest, making it suitable even for less experienced riders looking for a scenic challenge. Along the way, panoramic views open up over the Schnals Valley and the surrounding peaks.
After gaining around 800 meters of elevation, the Klosteralm awaits at approximately 2,150 meters. Nestled among open alpine meadows, this traditional mountain hut is a tranquil retreat. During the summer months, guests can enjoy hearty South Tyrolean dishes and warm hospitality – the perfect reward before heading back down to the valley.
Wonderful mountain bike tour to the Pricheralm hut in the little mountain-village Weißenbach/Rio Bianco!
The mountain bike tour from Kurzras to the Lazaun Hut is a short but impressive climb to the sunny Lazaun Plateau in the rear part of the Schnalstal Valley. It’s perfect for athletic riders and those looking to enjoy breathtaking views in a short amount of time.
From the glacier village of Kurzras (2,011 m), a forest road winds its way uphill in several switchbacks through larch and stone pine forests. The steady ascent is rewarded with stunning views of the surrounding three-thousand-meter peaks – from the Finailspitze to the majestic Weißkugel.
After around 400 meters of elevation gain, the destination is reached: the Lazaun Hut at 2,430 meters. On the sunny terrace of this summer-managed mountain hut, visitors can enjoy homemade South Tyrolean specialties and gain insight into the protected alpine moor located on the high plateau.
