All experiences in the Ortler Skiarena

The Adige Trail can be reached just above the Resia and is named after the river in Italy, which springs right next start. He is also the continuation of the bunker trails and leads down to the village Resia and the lake lago di Resia. It is a lightweight, highly flow trail which makes you want more.

The 3 Country Trail is the classical of our 3 Country Enduro Trail. The starting point of this scenic delight is Italy. We continue through Austria, passing picturesque mountain lakes until we finally find ourselves in Switzerland. 

From Graun, the wonderful Langtaufers valley opens up to the east. First, follow the asphalt road in the direction of Melag until the fork in Kapron. In Kapron, turn right in the direction of Riegl and then follow the shady forest path to the Kaproner Alm alpine pasture (1,960 m), which is closed. Continue slightly up and down to the Masebner Alm alpine pasture, which is closed as well. Following the path upwards, sometimes a bit steep - arrive at the Maseben mountain hut at 2,267 m. Here the innkeeper of the hut welcomes guests with traditional schnapps and local foods. The 2 km back to the Masebner Alm continue towards the valley and Karlin creek. Once on the forest road, turn right and follow a beautiful forest path along the rushing stream to the Melager Alm alpine pasture. Enjoy the views of the glacier world from the rest areas and then follow the forest path again on the orographic left bank to Riegl. Here go briefly uphill to the main road in Kapron. This road will lead you back to Graun.

The second trail of the Haider Alm, the Haider Flow Trail, is a nice trail from the Haider Alm down to San Valentino/St. Valentin. Most of the time you ride on the ski slope, but there are also parts through woods - so this trail is a diverse trail for anyone.

Anche questo single trail ha tanto da offrire. Parte sopra Spin e rappresenta un interessante raccordo per San Valentino e per la funivia della malga San Valentino; vi accompagnerà lungo il crinale sempre in direzione sud. L'imbocco si raggiunge alla fine della parte inferiore dello Spin Trail. 

Sulla parte inferiore del trail Belpiano, all'ultimo incrocio con la pista da sci, il facile Giern Trail porta in direzione di San Valentino e Giern. Il Giern Trail è il collegamento con il lago di Resia e termina al maso Giernhof. Da lì si può pedalare sulla pista ciclabile per San Valentino.

Before setting off on this tour, it is legitimate to think about the delicious Kaiserschmarren at the Rescher Alm. Follow the cycle path along the lakeshore from Reschen towards the Schöneben valley station. From the valley station, cycle uphill on the main road, in the direction of Rojen and then in the direction of St. Valentin to the hamlet of Spin. Shortly after the Spin´s farm, take a sharp right onto the forest and meadow path. In the forest, bend the way north above lake Resia and the Rojen road past a small forest lake (1,850 m). Follow the forest road, meet the Rojen road a little later and follow it to the trendy Rescher Alm hut. Here, at an altitude of 2,000 m, with a splendid view from the terrace, enjoy one of the best lunches. From the Rescher Alm alpine hut, continue north along the forest road, down to Tenders, where the Tendershof farmhouse invites for refreshment. From here, it is not far to the final destination: Reschen. Tip: For enduro enthusiasts: there is the option of rocking down via the 3-Länder Trail in the direction of Nauders to the Mutzkopf. From Mutzkopf, take one of the trails to Nauders.

The Upper Belpiano Trail is a special trail, it is perfectly adapted in the landscape and has challenging parts for all single trail-lovers. The trail starts at the mountainstation Belpiano and goes trough forests down to the brach-off in direction to the 3-Country-Trail. The character changes only insignificantly in the lower part. Wonderful cross-country skiing and deep views of Lake Resia make the Schöneben Trail an unforgettable experience - an experience that can be repeated over and over again thanks to the Schönebenbahn.

Nestled between the Endkopf "Jaggl" (2,627 m) and Pleisköpfl (2,425 m) lies the destination, the Grauner Alm alpine pasture, at 2,173 m. Start the tour in Graun at 1,500 m. For a quick warm up, follow the road into the Langtauferer valley. After 250 m, turn right over the bridge and pedal up through the shady Arluiwald forest on a mainly pleasant incline on the alpine path to the Grauner Alm alpine pasture. There is a possibility to park your mountain bike at the mountain pasture and continue on foot via hiking trail no. 10 to the summit of the Endkopf (2,652 m). Duration of hike: approx. 2.5 hours (ascent and descent). On the hiking path to the peak, it's possible to spot some rare edelweiss flowers and marmots. Lying in the grass on the slope, enjoy the sensational panorama and head back down to the valley via the alpine path to stop by the village for a good meal.

Il Gorf Trail inizia sopra Spin al termine della parte inferiore dello Spin Trail e questa tratta di sentiero rappresenta il collegamento verso il basso alla ciclabile lungolago. Da lì sulla pista ciclabile in direzione nord si arriva alla funivia Belpiano e a Resia. 

From St. Valentin over the dam wall of lake Resia, the tour takes us westwards through the hamlet of Innerkaschon up to the old road towards Schöneben (above the old Reschensee road). The climb is approx. 8 km and 650 m in altitude, first on asphalt and then on gravel, mainly through forest, to the Haideralm mountain restaurant with its beautiful panoramic terrace overlooking the surrounding mountains and the two lakes. The descent leads back 350 m along the ascent route before turning on the right towards Zerzer valley. Cross the ski slope to hiking trail no. 7, which leads to the Bruggeralm alpine hut, where you can enjoy some excellent dumplings and alpine cheese in the summer months. After the bridge behind the alpine hut, turn left and follow signpost no. 8, past the St. Martin chapel to the Faulen See lake and continue down the paths to the Vinschger cycle path. Turn left and cycle comfortably along the Haidersee lake back to St. Valentin.

Note: The name "Goas" comes from the Vinschgau dialect and means goat. When farmers in this region increasingly practised "Goashaltung" in agriculture, this mountain was the grazing area for these animals.

The starting point of this partially newly created trail is the historic Bunker high above the lake lago di Resia. Whoever finds time should definitely take a photo here with the lago di Resia in the background. The Bunker Trail is the main link to the south and brings the biker to the entrance of the Adige River Trails who continues to Resia.

The 3-country Enduro Trails combine a globally unique scenic experience with imposing views, cosy alpine pastures, beautiful lakes, history and culture - interwoven through mountain bike trails. Since mountain biking was discovered and promoted by locals more than 25 years ago, there is a lively mountain bike culture in the villages around the Reschen Pass and you can literally feel you are welcome as a mountain biker.
Moreover, even in midsummer, temperatures in the Reschen Pass are usually pleasant. In addition to jumping into the Reschen lake, further natural lakes in the forests around the Reschen Pass also provide cooling.

Trail descents of the finest quality from almost 2,500 metres above sea level make "runs" with more than 1,000 metres in decent at a time is possible! From flowing to technically demanding, but mostly natural, the trails offer everything an enduro heart desires. On a trail day in the border triangle, you will also pass by important landmarks, such as the 3-country border stone, Nauders mountain castle or the Reschen lake with its striking sunken church tower. Due to the vast size of the area, all types of mountain bikers are spread out inconspicuously throughout the terrain. By the end of the trail, all trails are guaranteed to lead you directly back to your starting point.

This wonderful tour starts in Reschen on the cycle path towards Graun. Shortly before the gravel cycle path along the Reschensee lake meets the narrowed section and the cycle and footpath leading above the lake, turn left onto the main road crossing the Arlund farm to Klopair.

After a cozy stop for refreshments, it's a leisurely ride back along the lake to Reschen.
