Tour 027
Panoramic route via Costa dei Nosellari/Haselsberg.
This tour is also suitable for e-bikes.
Tom Pro and Co. literally rolled up their sleeves when constructing the Palm Pro Line: It is hand built from top to bottom and a dream for fans of challenging lines. The line challenges advanced riders with some features, jumps and steeper passages. The length of 2.5 km is more than impressive for a hand-built line. The Palm Pro Line is one the most difficult lines in Brixen Bikepark and its name stands for the breathtaking view from Palmschoß to the UNESCO world heritage of the Dolomites.
Level of difficulty: Red – intermediate
Line built for technically experienced mountain bikers with good braking and cornering technique. Good jumping technique and the ability to master sharp bends is a must. The lines include different types of ground and loose soil.

We would like to thank the administration B.N.R. Oberolang for providing the space and the two shapers Ale and Davide who helped us start the process.
Glurns, South Tyrol’s smallest town, enchants visitors with its historic walls, arcades, and hidden gems. This bike tour leads you along the Adige River, past green orchards and gentle vineyards, into the picturesque South Tyrolean lowlands. Upon arriving in Neumarkt, you’ll feel the shift in scenery: Mediterranean flair meets Alpine backdrop – narrow alleyways, charming wine cellars, and the South Tyrolean Wine Road, home to some of the region’s finest wines. A delightful ride through nature and history.
Although Glorenza is accessible by bus, we recommend traveling to Mals if you're using public transport, as you can book a bike transport service there (bikes are not allowed on regular buses). From Malles, it’s just a 5-minute ride by bike to the starting point. For your return journey, Neumarkt’s train station is the ideal option.
Easy circular tour to the hamlet Pliscia from where the route continues without major differences in altitude along typical scattered rural settlements and back to San Vigilio.
Family-friendly route to Pieve di Marebbe with the pilgrimage church that is visible from afar and popular with visitors. The route is fully tarmacked and therefore also easily managed with ordinary touring cycles.
The bike tour from Egna to Castelrotto offers fantastic views and a truly unique experience of South Tyrol’s landscape. From Egna, you’ll cycle along the scenic South Tyrolean Wine Road. Your destination, Castelrotto, is a charming village nestled at the foot of the Dolomites. Its historic center, with narrow alleyways and a striking church tower, invites you to soak in the local atmosphere. From here, you’ll enjoy breathtaking views of the surrounding Dolomites – well worth every bit of effort along the way.
The starting point is easily accessible by train, and bikes are allowed on board. Unfortunately, buses do not transport bicycles. We recommend continuing from Castelrotto to Ponte Gardena (see Castelrotto–Vipiteno tour) to catch the train back from there.

Glurns, the smallest town in South Tyrol, captivates with its historic walls, arcades, and hidden gems. This bike tour takes you along the Adige River, past green orchards and rolling vineyards into the picturesque lowlands of South Tyrol. Arriving in Egna, you'll feel the change in scenery: Mediterranean flair meets Alpine scenery – narrow streets, charming wine cellars, and the South Tyrolean Wine Road, home to fine wines. A delightful tour through history and nature.
Although Glurns is accessible by bus, we recommend traveling to Mals if you're traveling by public transport, as you can book bike transport there (bikes cannot be taken on regular buses). From Mals, you can reach the starting point of the tour in about 5 minutes by bike. The train station in Egna is ideal for the return journey.
The Vinschger railway is ideal for enhancing your cycling experience in South Tyrol. Due to the new Vinschger railway, the Vinschgau region can also now be discovered by a combination of train and bike. The railway connects the garden village of Lagundo aslike the spa town of Meran with the village of Mals. There are six railway stations along the line that offer a bike borrow service (mid April to beginning of November): Meran, Naturns, Latsch, Spondinig, Schlanders and Mals.
Bikes can be hired and returned at different stations. The hire service includes a cycling helmet. For our little guests, who are still too small to cycle by themselves, there are children’s seats available. In addition, there are special tandems and multi-purpose trailers (also for dogs).
Due to the incredible success of bike admittance on trains, there was not enough space on the trains for passengers and bikes. For this reason, restrictions had to be applied at that time. This restriction is still valid at the railways stations of Meran and Algund if you enter with your bike for the journey going towards the Vinschgau region. If this applies to you at some stage, you can use an alternative service: the bike shuttle. This bus runs six times daily from Meran to Mals, i.e. at 9.16 am / 9.46 a.m. / 9.46 a.m. / 10.16 a.m. / 11.16 a.m. / 4.16 p.m. and 5.16 p.m. Afterwards, your bike can be picked up at one of the bike borrow stations of your choice, which are at the following stations: Naturns, Latsch, Schlanders, Spondinig or Mals.
The price of transporting a bike & a person is the same as the price per person, which is EURO 7. A day ticket can be bought at the ticket office.
Bikemobil Card:
This combi ticket can be used for all public transport (bus, train, lift facilities) in all of South Tyrol. In addition, on one day of your choice, you can also hire a bike at one of the numerous borrow-a-bike stations with the ‘Südtirol Rad’ symbol (Bike South Tyrol). Borrowed bikes can be returned at any of the ‘Südtirol Rad’ borrow stations. A fabulous way to discover South Tyrol!
Laion Bike-Tour
Extremely diverse tour, which really offers everything that makes an eventful MTB route. Different grounds, the change between woods and meadows, views and pleasant shade, and not least the interesting profile with several ascents and descents of different gradients, as well as short flat sections lend this circular tour a unique character. After not quite 12km, there is also the opportunity to tackle a further ascent to one of the two managed cabins, or to choose the descent straight back to Laion/Lajen.
Excursion on level and slightly rising paths into the breathtaking Val di Marebbe, framed by the silhouette of rugged, steep mountains. The destination is the unique head of the valley where the Pederü inn offers refreshments.
The Jerry Line is really easy. Jerry, the creator of the line who also gave it its name, has never designed it too steep, never too rough and never to tight: It is simply ideal for beginners and kids. There are only 300 metres of difference in elevation from the trailhead to the trail end, but in between are 4.2 km trail fun for the whole family.
Level of difficulty: Green – very easy
Novice-friendly line with soft bends and flowing route. There are no artificial obstacles or jumps, the line is also suitable for children. Basic knowledge of mountain bikes required.
„Back and forth on the Mitterberg“
Short but not very easy route across the woods in the south of Valdaora/Olang, well-known as a good stretch for training. As both ways are interesting to do, you can find signing in both directions.
The first stage of this racing bike tour is relatively flat, with little elevation gain. However, a rapid gain in elevation must be achieved after leaving St. Leonhard/S. Leonardo. A few tunnels and switchbacks bring you to the Schönau restaurant at km 18. After a brief stop to catch your breath, head uphill via the steepest section of the tour on seemingly endless switchbacks beginning at the Timmelsbach bridge.
If you can make it up the last 10 challenging kilometres, 1km through the last and unlit tunnel must be completed before reaching the pass. From the Timmelsjoch, the route either continues to Austria or back into the Passeiertal valley on the route you came up by.
The Timmelsjoch is amongst the toughest passes in the Alpine region – the 30 kilometres feel long and an uncomfortably large portion is uphill.
The road surface, however, is fantastic and the reward for your pain is a magnificent view.
