The cable car takes you up to Schwarzseespitze (2,069 m). Attractive views and great panoramas accompany us on the little road, which climbs up to the Rittner Horn at 2.260 m with its namesake mountain hut. A beautiful two-wheeled tour with the summit of the high plateau to the Riviera of the Dolomites.
Itinerary
This MTB tour starts in Oberbozen at the mountain station of the Rittner cable car and follows the road in a westerly direction (sign and marking no. 2), at the fork in the road by the shops slightly uphill to Zagglermoos and left through the small commercial zone to the start of the "Wald-Wild-Wunder-Weg". Here you turn left into the Stauseeweg (the family hiking trail is a pushing trail for bikers) to the "Lobishof". Continue along the wide hiking trail (marking 18 A) to the "Bacherle", past the "Moserhof" to the country road (be careful at the junction). Turn right here and follow the road for approx. 100 m to the bus stop in Riggermoos. Now cross the road to the left and walk moderately steep (marking no. 6) through the sparse "Gunggelwald" forest to the Tann. At the "Tann" bus stop, follow the road with little traffic or the flanking footpath (marker no. 1) to Pemmern. At the valley station of the mountain railway, you buy the ticket for the entertaining ride, which saves you around 500 metres of ascent. Here a grandiose panorama opens up from the western Dolomites, to the Brenta and Ortler groups, to the Ötztal Alps. The alpine path (marking no. 19) now runs gently uphill to the "Unterhorn" and "Feltuner" huts. At the Feltuner hut, head uphill (marker no. 2, use the pasture grate to pass through - keep the fence gate closed!). At the next fork, keep to the right (another fence gate) until you reach the fork below a sheep barn. Here you stay on the wide access path in the direction of the radio transfer station (no marking, signpost) just before the summit of the Rittner Horn to the Rittnerhornhaus (2,260 m), the destination of the tour. The descent follows the ascent route. Please set a respectful pace.
Respect - rispetto - respect! On the MTB bike routes on the Ritten, fairness and tolerance towards the weaker party on the trail apply. We look forward to respectful cooperation between mountain bikers, hikers and riders. Thank you very much!
