MTB tours and trails

This tour takes you along forest roads through masses of woodland to the Schlern-Rosengarten nature reserve. The trail leads past the Völser Weiher Lake and the Tuff Alm hut mountain hut to the Hofer Alpl on the slopes of the Schlern.

Start in Laion - Restaurant zur Sonne down to the right and at the crossroads keep left along the road. Pass the Tantscherhof on the left and follow the trail to the intersection of the main road Chiusa- Pontives. After crossing the main road, continue along the forest road in the direction of Restaurant Stern.

This mountain-bike or e-bike tour treats bikers to a view of all of the Kings and Queens of the Dolomite mountains, including the Marmolada – Queen of the Dolomites, the majestic Langkofel and Plattkofel, King Laurin and his Rosengarten massif, and the Schlern in all of its legendary might. The route leads from the Eggental Valley to the Fassa Valley and on to the Gröden Valley, followed by a stretch through the Dolomites region Seiser Alm and back to the set-off point. Due to the length of almost 100 km, we recommend riding the tour on an e-bike. If you prefer to ride without an electric motor, you should consider spreading the tour over two days. You can choose to begin the tour from any one of the valleys it covers.

Given its length of 105 km, we recommend taking this tour in a few stages. If you opt to use an e-bike, it is possible to cycle the full length in one day, stopping off at one of the countless mountain huts to recharge your bike along the way.

The Herrnsteig trail's little brother too is packed with flow and curves. But while it's nowhere near as wild and bumpy, its 124 bends and turns between the top of Mount Kronplatz and Passo Furcia make it at least equally winding and dizzying. To get back up to the top, simply hop on the Ruis cable car at Passo Furcia. The big challenge on this trail is to master it without pedalling and with as little use of the brakes as possible. It is ideal for medium-advanced and pro bikers who wish to get to most out of an active riding style.
