We then follow it until we reach Bruneck. After leaving the town behind us, we first reach St. Lorenzen. Here you will find the Mansio Sebatum Archaeological Museum, which is dedicated entirely to the Iron Age and especially the Roman period in the region. As the route continues, we pass the villages of Ehrenburg, Kiens, St. Sigmund and Vintl, each of which is always worth a detour in its own right, until we reach our destination in Mühlbach. For your return journey, you also have the possibility to take the train with bike transport back to Olang.
The Moosbühel variant of the route leads between the Rendenbühl and Tisenser Bühel hills, and offers a shorter version of the traditional Tagusens loop route. The trail is relatively flat and leads mainly through woodland.
The route initially leads out of the valley, past the football field in Niederrasen and under the Pustertal road. It continues to Oberolang, where you join the Pustertal cycle path. We first cycle past the beautiful Olang reservoir and then pass through the idyllic towns of Welsberg, Niederdorf, and Toblach, until we reach our destination, Innichen, the last major town before the Austrian border.

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!
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 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.

The Rasner Möser biotope is located between Oberrasen and Antholz-Niedertal. This easy cycle tour, which is also suitable for children, can therefore be started from either of these two starting points. The highlight of this tour is definitely the biotope roughly halfway along the route. In this nature reserve, there are two small lakes which invite you to relax in the shade of the trees, as well as an educational nature trail with interesting information about this moorland area.

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.
The mountain bike tour from Madonna di Senales to the scenic Lafetzalm offers an ideal mix of outdoor activity and breathtaking alpine landscapes. This lesser-known route leads through tranquil forests and across sunlit slopes, always accompanied by impressive views of the Ötztal Alps.
The tour starts in the quiet village of Madonna di Senales. A steadily ascending forest road winds past traditional mountain farms and through peaceful coniferous woods. With each turn, the views become wider until the trail opens up to the high pastures and the charming Lafetzalm at around 2,050 meters. During summer, the alpine hut is open and serves traditional South Tyrolean dishes – a perfect spot to rest and enjoy the view before the relaxed descent back to the valley.
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 medium-difficulty tour to Lake Prags runs mostly on paved cycle paths and wide gravel roads. Between the villages of Welsberg and Niederdorf, the path takes a turn into the Prags Valley. The route extends a few kilometres into the valley until you reach the village of Außerprags. Here the valley splits up in the direction of Plätzwiese or the famous Lake Prags. The ascent to the lake is not too difficult, only the last 3 kilometres are a little steeper and from St. Veit the route runs along the main road. Once there, the breathtaking panorama of the lake makes up for the previous exertions. If you still have some stamina left, you can explore the lake on a flat circular trail by foot.
