This Val Gardena MTB loop with its two single trails guarantees a total of over 10 km of trail riding pleasure and pure action. After a relaxed gondola ride in the direction of Dantercëpies, a flow trail begins directly below the breathtaking Cir peaks. Thanks to the Trail Arena ticket, this Cir Tiera Trail, as well as the other trails of the Trail Arena Val Gardena, can be repeated as often as you like. The trail continues along a path that is also open to mountain bikers: from the Gardena Pass it descends below the imposing rock faces of the Sella massif to the Miramonti zone, where the two main roads coming from the Sella Pass and Gardena Pass meet. Continue along a gravel path until you reach the entrance to the last stretch of the Family Trail to Plan de Gralba. If you want, you can take the Piz Seteur cable car and ride this flow trail and the other trails in this area a couple of more times, as they are part of the Trail Arena Val Gardena. Or simply return to Selva via a path that runs to the left of the stream.

The route leads along the cycle path out of the valley, past the football pitch in Niederrasen and under Puster Valley road. It then continues to Oberolang, where you reach the Puster Valley cycle path. Cycle along this route past the villages of Welsberg and Niederdorf until you reach Toblach. There you then turn right towards Lake Toblach. There are numerous places to stop for refreshments along the route and at the lake itself. For the way back, you can then decide whether you want to cycle back the same way or take the train with bike transport at a station along the route.

We start this tour in Niederrasen and it first takes us out of the valley to Neunhäusern, where we then turn left towards Niederolang. We then continue past the church to the hamlet of Mühlbach and on to Gassl, where the valley station of the Olang cable car is located. This is where the ascent to the Furkel Pass at 1,789 metres above sea level begins. We initially ride along a gravel road until we turn onto the paved Furkelstraße, which then leads us to our destination. Once we reach the pass, we can enjoy the marvellous view of the surrounding mountains before returning to Niederrasen along the same route.

This challenging tour of approx. 33 km first leads along the cycle path out of the valley, past the football pitch in Niederrasen and under the Pustertal Valley road. The route then continues to Oberolang and from there you join the Pustertal Valley cycle path. Continue cycling past the villages of Welsberg and Niederdorf until you reach Toblach. Turn right there and continue to Lake Toblach. Afterwards continue in the direction of Cortina until you reach the Drei Zinnen viewpoint, which is located directly next to the cycle path. In just another 5 minutes you can reach Lake Dürrensee, with the breathtaking Cristallo mountain group in the background. There are various refreshment stops for a short break along this route. The return journey then follows the same route back to the starting point.

This easy and family-friendly bike tour takes us from Antholz-Mittertal over a distance of approximately 12 km to Neunhäusern. Along the route, we pass the Rasner Mösner biotope and enjoy the untouched nature of the Antholz Valley. Other highlights on this route are the MTB area, the fish pond in Antholz Niedertal and the leisure park in Niederrasen. In the first section we cycle on a well-prepared gravel path and the rest of the route on paved roads. Along the way, there are plenty of opportunities to stop for refreshments in the various villages of the Antholz Valley.

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.

There's nothing wrong with a bit of fun – it was this motivation which in autumn 2014 broke the ground for the Piz de Plaies trail in San Vigilio. The trail is filled to the brim with jumps and banked curves. It's only a short ride up on the Pedagà-Piz de Plaies cable car before the track winds back down into the valley on a mad series of bends. Not a single section of this trail is straight, so prepare for active riding and leave your fear of steep passages at home. It's a guaranteed buzz! Suitable for true pros and medium-advanced riders.

This is a short, easy tour that begins in the small hamlet Videgg. The Videgger Assen are a collection of steep mountain pastures that are still mown by hand in summer months.

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 La Buja variant diverges from the Seiser Alm hut tour and leads through thick forest land, which offers welcome shade despite the challenges of the 5.9 km trail.

The masterpiece

First opened in 2018, this hand-made trail in the lower part of Kronplatz branches off from the Andreas trail after the first few bends. Compared to Andreas, Alex requires a bit more pedalling and an active, anticipatory riding style. The trail is a true masterpiece and mountain bikers far and wide love it: The feedback at the 2018 TrailTrophy was quite simply overwhelming.

Level: medium to difficult

The start of this moderately difficult tour is in Niederrasen and first leads out of the valley to the historic bridge and from there on to Neunhäusern. Shortly afterwards, turn off towards Niederolang. Shortly after the railway subway, turn right again and cycle past the farms to Ried and on to Reischach. From there, the cycle path leads down to Bruneck and then along the Puster Valley cycle path back to Niederrasen. The highlights on this route are Lamprechtsburg Castle and the Rienz Gorge along the Puster Valley cycle path.

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. The route leads through a wild and romantic larch forest, alongside the rushing Mastaun stream, always accompanied by views of the surrounding three-thousand-meter peaks.

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.

This easy MTB tour delights everyone, as it runs mostly on the forest path without any major challenging passages. The fantastic view of the neighbouring Dolomite mountains such as Rosengarten/Catinaccio, Schlern/Sciliar and Latemar is always fascinating.

This roundtrip leads the mountain biker around Agumes‘ local mountain and offers, next to a diverse terrain, breath taking views of the mountains of the Venosta valley. Starting from Prato, the trail goes via Montechiaro to the “Pinet” farms (1080m) and onwards via a gravel road to the highest point of the tour, the „Schart“ refuge (1830m). From there, the route continues via the farms of Stelvio downwards to Stelvio (1310m) and Stelvio Ponte, all the while enjoying the awesome view of the Ortles mountain range. Return to Prato via the main road SS38.

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 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.

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.)

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.

The excursion to the Brunst Alm mountain hut first takes us out of the valley, past the football pitch in Niederrasen and underneath the Pustertaler Straße road. We then head towards Oberolang and cycle uphill through the village and past the parking lot of the Kids’ World Olang. From there, the challenging ascent begins on a gravel path into the forest, which then leads to our destination of the Brunst Alm. The ascent is rewarded with a breathtaking view of the Olang mountain range and the Kronplatz.

The mountain bike tour from Jägerrast to the historic Eishof is one of the most scenic routes in the Texel Group Nature Park. Set within the wild beauty of the Pfossental Valley, the trail leads through one of South Tyrol’s most unspoiled alpine landscapes.
Starting at the Jägerrast inn (approx. 1,700 m), the tour follows a wide and well-maintained alpine road that climbs gently into the valley. The ascent is moderate, while the scenery becomes more impressive with every turn: rushing streams, blooming alpine meadows, and rustic huts line the way.
After about 300 meters of elevation gain, the destination is reached: the Eishof, located at 2,069 meters and one of the oldest alpine farms in South Tyrol. Surrounded by towering peaks, this quiet alpine refuge is open in summer and offers traditional South Tyrolean food – a perfect spot to rest, refuel, and reconnect with nature.

This alternative route has it all: The exceptionally steep access trail to the Tierser Alpl Refuge gives you the chance to extend the Duron Valley tour, and leads to this breathtaking mountain hut amidst the rock formations of the Rosszahn and the Rosengarten Antermoia.

On this easy and family-friendly tour, we start in the centre of Antholz Mittertal and cycle out of the valley on the cycle path, past the MTB area and the fish pond in Antholz Niedertal. The route then leads past the Rasner Möser biotope and the leisure park in Niederrasen to the end of the valley at the historic bridge. There, we use the underpass that runs beneath the main road to reach the other side of the valley. We continue past Neunhäusern to Niederolang, and from there, it's only a short distance to our destination in Mitterolang. Once there, you can explore the surrounding area and visit numerous bars and restaurants. Special highlights in Olang are also the Kids Area Panorama and the Kids’ World Olang.

The Rosszähne variant diverges from the Seiser Alm hut tour, and is suitable for well-trained cyclists who want to tire themselves out before heading back to Saltria. You can also stop by the idyllic Dialer chapel and take in the magnificent views.

An absolute pleasure trail: flowing and embedded in the beautiful Dolomite landscape, the Paravis Trail winds its way from the mountain station of the Gran Paradiso chairlift, at the highest point of the famous Città dei Sassi (Stone City), to the valley station. The Ladin name Paravis stands for paradise and the trail lives up to its name, as it is constantly accompanied by paradisiacal views of the Sella massif and the Sassolungo. Fun for big and small bikers alike, and anyone sitting on the chairlift can often hear the bikers whooping with joy on the trail.

Flow lovers will love this tour. The Trail Arena Val Gardena is probably the most panorama-rich trail park in the Alps and impresses not only with its wonderful views, but also with its 4 flow trails and the challenging freeride trail. All in all, a circuit around the tourist stronghold of Wolkenstein, with bends, jumps and lots of speed. Those who like it really technical will love to ride the Ciampinoi trail. Thanks to the 5 lifts of the Trail Arena (Dantercepies, Cir, Piz Seteur, Gran Paradiso, Ciampinoi), which can be used with the Trail Arena Ticket or with the Super Summer Card, there are hardly any metres in altitude that have to be pedalled uphill and the trails can be repeated as many times you want.

This route leads mainly downhill across the Seiser Alm, past the imposing Langkofel group, and links the Seiser Alm with Selva, the set-off point for the spectacular Sella Ronda. This tour is recommended for experienced riders accompanied by a guide.
