Short and very varied circular tour near San Vigilio, between the meadows and fields of the many mountain farms and adjoining woods.

 

 

The route to the Passo delle Erbe offers some of the most stunning scenery in the Dolomites. The green meadows on the northern edge of the Puez-Odle Nature Park and the towering Dolomite peaks accompany cyclists along this tour, which may not be among the most famous in the area, but is certainly one of the most impressive.

Starting from Alta Badia, the route follows relatively low-traffic roads with spectacular panoramic views and occasional technical challenges. On the way to the Passo delle Erbe, cyclists will encounter several sharp hairpin turns and steep climbs, with gradients reaching up to 16%.

The Furcia Pass Tour is an interesting alternative way of exploring South Tyrol by heading north from Alta Badia.

This stretch has formed part of the famous Giro d'Italia several times and is perfect to train on.

Route: From Pederoa head north on the main road 244 down to Piccolino and Longega. Here you turn off to the right and ride gently uphill on the main road as far as San Vigilio and then on a flat road to Marebbe. Just before the centre of Marebbe head for the Furcia Pass, first climbing gently and then with gradients of 10 % or even 15 %. The road to the Furcia Pass is narrow and has some sharp bends. When you reach the pass (1,758 m), the road winds down again to Valdaora di Sotto. Then you continue gently up and down around the Plan de Corones until you come to Riscone and San Stefano. From here, the gradient is slight to moderate as far as Pliscia. You then head down to Longega, from where you return to Pederoa on the 244 road.

 

Very long circular tour through the magical Fanes area with its stunning landscape. Impressive rock formations, untouched nature and unique animals and plants characterise this nature reserve. Note! Very steep stretch for pushing or carrying bikes down to Capanna Alpina.

 

 

From Brunecker Rathausplatz drive along the road to St. Lorenzen. There you turn right and follow the path towards St. Martin and then to Maria Saalen. Next, follow the trail towards Plaiken and Enneberg Pfarre. Arrived at the road that leads from Longega to Maria Saalen, turn left and moves up to Plaiken (beautiful church with onion dome) and continued until San Vigilio passing by Enneberg.

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.

The Fedaia pass is another colossus when it comes to epic cycling. A long, arduous ascent, particularly in the last kilometres, with inclines of 12% on very long stretches. You are going to need to be fit to take it on!

The Giau pass is the great challenge for all those who undertake the marathon Maratona dles Dolomites, 10 km with long sections at 10.5% slope with the last kilometre at 10.2% slope. A climb that will remain among the cyclists’ memories.

The biking tour from Gais to Campo Tures/Sand in Taufers through the idyllic landscape along the river Aurino/Ahr is suitable for families and flat. The starting point is the children's playground in the center of Gais; the bike path, brings vacationers across meadows, fields and villages along the Aurino river, until the waterfalls of Riva di Tures/Rein in Taufers are reached, before Campo Tures. It's a marked cycle path that passes partly on roads, partly on streets of access to farms and on paths through the fields. The return journey follows the same route.

This leisurely bike tour offers top-class views from start to finish. The gravel path, which is shared with hikers along the entire route, starts at the Plose Looping at the mountain station of the Plose cable car and leads along a simple and easy path to the Rossalm, where a stop is definitely worthwhile. The return journey is along the same route.

A heroic ride through the empire of the Ladin legend Dolasila

She was beautiful, she was brave and she was smart: Dolasila, the Princess of Fanes and a legendary warrior, led her people on the battlefields of what is today the national park Fanes Senes Prags. Her story is packed with magical creatures and glorious victories, with treachery and deceit. Ride through the setting of this Ladin national epic on the Fanes Senes-Tour.

 

 

A Ladin Epic:

In ancient days the high plains of Fanes were ruled by a ruthless king. His beautiful daughter, however, was just the contrary. In a sign of gratitude for her compassion, the dwarfs at the Silver Lake in Canazei rewarded her with a white armour and unfailing arrows that made her invincible. After her first great battle at the Kronplatz the warrior led the Fanes people in a series of victories. Yet Dolasila was also exposed to treachery and deceit – from her enemies, but also from her own people...

The tour through the Val Badia valley runs from north to south and can be started in one of the villages in Alta Badia. Descending the state road 244 your reach Piculin/Piccolino where a climb leads towards San Martin/San Martino and the district of Mirí.

The road to Mirí is a lesser-known secondary road, with relatively little traffic and therefore particularly pleasant to ride. But the climb is not without its difficulties! You need to be in good shape.

Passing the Ciastel de Tor, the castle that houses the "Museum Ladin" we go for a short detour to the quiet mountain village of Longiarù. The return to the starting point follows the same path.

This line is a more technical and “rocky” version of the Furcia trail featuring sections littered with roots, boulders and carved berms. Suitable for experienced riders who are comfortable handling their bike throughout rough terrain.

Level: medium to difficult

Freeriding is one of the most adrenaline-pumping ways to ride a bike. Mountain bikes are used to descend mountain paths with bumps, jumps and various natural obstacles such as roots, stones and bushes.
In the Gardenaccia Freeride Bike Park, starting from the mountain station of the Gardenaccia chairlift at an altitude of 1,750 m, two routes have been created:

•  the first one, more difficult, is for bikers who already have good riding skills, looking for strong emotions
• the second is easier and suitable for less experienced bikers.

The start of the bike park can be reached by taking the Gardenaccia chairlift from La Villa.
At the Gardenaccia chairlift there is the possibility to rent freeride bikes.

The Jump Line, a variant of the Cör Trail, is the ideal route for experienced and demanding bikers. Riding through woods and meadows you can fill up on adrenaline while having fun on jumps of various heights and sizes. And to experience all the energy of the descent, easy drops and kickers.

Two FotoTraps, real photographic traps, will immortalize your passage.
