The mountain bike tour from Karthaus to the secluded Penaudalm is one of the most impressive experiences in the Schnals Valley. For those who embrace a physical challenge and love untouched alpine landscapes, this route offers pure nature and serenity.
Starting in the village of Karthaus, the trail leads through the village itself and then climbs past rustic mountain farms. From there, a forest road ascends steadily through dense mountain woods and wide alpine meadows. The tour is physically demanding, but not technically difficult – ideal for ambitious bikers seeking solitude and a deep nature experience.
After about 1,000 meters of elevation gain, the destination is reached: Penaudalm, at around 2,316 meters, nestled in an awe-inspiring high alpine setting. Up here, time seems to stand still. In summer, South Tyrol’s highest managed alpine dairy serves simple regional dishes – a true taste of Alpine culture, far from the everyday. (In 2025, the hut will remain closed.)
