Always on wide forest and alpine paths, you reach Riggermoos to Tann and on to Pemmern. From there, the traffic-calmed road leads to Rosswagen and through stone pine forests to Schönalm and along the beautifully laid out alpine path to the summit of the Rittner Horn at 2,260 m, where a unique panoramic view opens up.

Overlooking the Ifinger is the farmstead Gsteier. This very beautiful destination was always popular and sought after. The ride on the mountain bike, which is done exclusively on the paved farm access road, is not particularly long, but very steep.

ATTENTION: The mountain restaurant Gsteier is closed for the season 2025

Route length in km: 10,9
Vertical climb: ascent 100m – descent 1.260m
Surface: forest path, root passages, stones, loose stones, steep to very steep, cart path, loose stones, no banister or railings, fencing
Required technical skills: S1/S2 – moderately difficult with some difficult sections

The freeride track is unique in the whole valley. It starts from the mountain station of the Ciampinoi and leads you down until the Pra Valentini hut. The track was built in the woods and the ride down to the bottom is for everyone an unforgettable experience.

From the car park at Piazza H. Schweiggl in Cortaccia, the route leads to Penone and then to Hofstatt and Corona. From here, you will reach the Giogo di Coredo, where there is a wonderful panoramic view near the Kuhlegerhütte hut (not run). From there, continue on to Malga Rodezza (open in summer). After a break, climb up to the Sella di Favogna saddle to enjoy the splendid view of the nearby Val di Non. From the Sella di Favogna, the trail climbs to Favogna and from there back to Penone and Cortaccia. A strenuous hike with panoramic views.

The Ötzi Flow Trail is the final stretch of the Ötzi Trail. While the Ötzi Trail is a constantly steep descent (S2-S3) from the Bike Highline Meran/o, down in the valley the Ötzi Flow Trail makes the crowning conclusion to the route. It unwinds through 1,000 m of wide hairpin bends and flowing S-1 stretches down to the Waldschenke restaurant. The Ötzi Flow Trail can also be tackled as a short trail in its own right, starting from the forest road above the Waldschenke.

This bike tour follows the trackbed of the former Fleimstalbahn railway, which was built during the First World War, serving primarily to transport goods until 1936. It began in Ora/Auer and ran to the town of Predazzo. The stretch from Ora to San Lugano is still in good condition and is easy to ride. The bike tour leads through historic villages, wonderful vineyards - right through the Pinot Noir heart of Pinzon/Pinzano and through Auer/Ora, the home of the Lagrein - the wonderful mountain landscape of the Trudner Horn/Monte Corno Nature Park and is particularly rewarding because of the unique view of the South Tyrolean lowlands.

The Altrei Loop is an ideal tour for beginners and leisure cyclists. Covering nearly 14 kilometers, it follows well-maintained gravel forest paths through the Trudner Horn Nature Park, one of South Tyrol’s most biodiverse regions. With moderate ascents and stunning views, it provides a relaxing outdoor experience. The best time to ride is late spring, summer, and autumn.

The new, blue Hofratseck Trail circles playfully from the Bergkastelbahn mountain station over almost 2 kilometres through the pine trees to the Hofratseck, where it joins the red (and considerably rougher) Bergkastel Trail. However, you can also descend via a wide forest path to the valley station of the Bergkastelbahn or pedal gently uphill for 10 minutes to the Stieralm.

Starting in the centre of Trodena we ride downhill a few kilometres. The asphalted street passes vineyards where you can enjoy the amazing view of the Valle dell'Adige. Then we'll reach the village of Gleno and Montagna. On the old railroad track, which leads into the Val di Fiemme, we pass the village of Montagna. With an easy grade, as it was necessary for an old steam locomotive, we follow the old railroad tracks over bridge constructions and pleasant gravel paths until we reach Fontanefredde. After only two kilometres you'll reach again the centre of Trodena.
Tour Nr. 2

Possible restaurant stops: Hotel Restaurant Schönwies and Hotel Restaurant Trudnerhof

 

From the Etschbrücke bridge in Tschars (Winkler Inn) the trail leads along a slight climb past various farms up to Tomberg and from there to the Schartegg parking lot (1,460m).

The tour to Girlan / Cornaiano is a relatively short and easy mountainbike tour for novices and bikers with less stamina. Yet it still has a lot to offer. Girlan is a little wine village belonging to the neighboring community of Eppan / Appiano, and is situated on the northern part of the Mitterberg / Monte di Mezzo. There are several lookout spots along this trail where you'll enjoy a beautiful view over the provincial capital of Bozen / Bolzano and the Etsch / Adige Valley. The bike tour to Girlan is characterized by the visual splendor of the "Unterland" district of South Tyrol, with its handsome vineyards and orchards. From Kaltern / Caldaro, you'll first roll along the asphalt bicycle path towards Eppan. This bicycle path takes you along the now-defunct railway line that used to connect Bozen with Kaltern. This fact guarantees you that the grade will remain gentle throughout (because the old locomotives weren't able to overcome grades of more than 6%). Today, the only vestige of that wonderful bygone era is the vintage steam engine standing on the tracks at the exit of Kaltern. Especially on weekends, when the weather is nice, you will encounter lots of foot traffic along the bike trail, including other cyclists, families, children, and dogs – so we recommend that you remain alert at all times. After about five kilometers, you'll reach Eppan. From here, you'll take the narrow asphalt trail at the right, and proceed uphill towards Girlan. Afterwards, you'll continue along technically easy and shady gravel trails and forest paths over the Mitterberg / Monte di Mezzo, past the crossroad at Purzelmoos and the Montiggl Lakes. In summer months, you might want to stop and take a refreshing dip before proceeding downhill via the village of Montiggl and the Montiggl Plateau towards Kaltern.

Variants: You can follow the bicycle path straight towards Bozen and follow the "Mitterberg" tour in the opposite direction.

Mustn't be missed: The bicycle path along the former Fleims / Fiemme Valley railroad line from Kaltern to Sigmundskron / Firmiano, the Montiggl Forest, as well as the Montiggl Lakes.

 

This tour leads to the child-friendly Marinzen Alm mountain hut. It is ideal for fit families and boasts spectacular views over Kastelruth.
