Fietstochten in de Vinschgau

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.

From Reschen go north towards the Austrian border. Just 500 m before the valley station of the Bergkastel cable car (Nauders), take a sharp right along a fairly steep gravel road to the mountain station. Stop for refreshments in the Bergkastel mountain restaurant. Here starts the most beautiful part of the tour: return to the ascent path to the Bergkastelalpe and continue to the left to the high moorland of Plamortböden and the anti-tank barrages that are also well known across the border. From here on use the forest road or the beautifully laid out trails (S2). After passing the barriers, the view opens up over the Vinschgau Valley with its unique lake landscape from the vantage point on the rock. With a breathtaking view descend to Reschen: on the technical and partly more demanding Bunker Trail (no. 101, S2), with the subsequent Etsch Trail (no. 102, S1) leading into the forest, or on the forest road to Reschen. Once back there, enjoy a typical aperitif.

Con il Plattweg Trail avete davanti a voi un single trail indimenticabile della regione enduro 3-paesi: vi rapisce nel solitario mondo delle montagne altoatesine, offre profonde vedute del lago di Resia e vi porta allo stesso tempo in direzione nord. Alla Schneider Kreuzung si immette nella parte inferiore dello Spin Trail e poi si può scegliere tra il Grein Trail (ritorno alla malga San Valentino) o il Gorf Trail (proseguendo per Belpiano). 

From Reschen old village - Altdorf, we head straight towards the Vallierteck Chapel and continue towards the Rescher Alm car park. At the car parking, turn right and follow the uphill gravel path to the alpine pasture with repeated great views of the lake landscape. At the Rescher Alm, enjoy traditional delicacies, including Kaiserschmarren, before continuing on the gravel and forest path, crossing the three-way border point in a northerly direction to the 3-Länder Enduro Trail. First on a meadow path, then narrower and partly more challenging, this trail leads from the open terrain into the forest to the Grünsee lake. After a short crank passage, reach the Schwarzsee lake. The way from Grünsee to Schwarzsee lake is technically rather arduous. Join per bike the Schwarzsee lake also using the forest road. To go back downhill to the valley, there are more choices: via forest road, or using the old "Tiefen Sommerweg'' (S1-S2, partly rough) or the family trail (no. 70, S1) to Nauders. Enduro Trail lovers continue on the 3-Länder Trail and forest road to reach Nauders and the Bergkastel valley station via the Oberer Gerry Trail (no. 69, S2) or part of the Kreuzmoos Trail (no. 68, S2) as well as the Familytrail. Once reached the valley, take the cycle path to the Reschen Pass over the border, back to the starting point.

The starting point of this trail, which leads downhill throughout, is the mountain restaurant just below the mountain station. With the partly quite direct line choice, the Eleven Trail is one of the longer descents on the Mutzkopf and it reaches directly below the valley station.

Start at the dam wall of the Reschensee at 1,500 m, cross it, and at Innerkaschon take the old Rojen road in the direction of Schöneben. After about 8 kilometres of pedaling uphill on the old asphalt road, reach the Schönebenhütte and take a break. After the short refreshment, take the asphalt road under the hut in the direction of Rojen and ride out of the valley to the car park of the Rescher Alm alpine hut near the "Kopfer" bridge. Turn left and ride slightly uphill to the Rescher Alm alpine hut, where you can have a second stop. As a reward for the effort enjoy a large variety of regional products and an enchanting view of Lake Reschen. Continue north to the Tendershof, a well-run tavern. The descent leads through the middle of a larch and spruce forest past Tendershof to the Vinschger cycle path before Reschen. From Reschen follow the cycle path orographically left to Graun to the historic church tower in the lake back to the starting point on the dam wall of Lake Reschen.

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.

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.

The mountain bike tour to the Rifugio Forcola/Furkelhütte is a wonderful tour to a hut with a breathtaking view and the possibility to stop for refreshments. As the tour runs through a forest path it is very suitable for e-bikers.

The Kreuzmoos Trail opens up the area south of the Mutzkopf. A beautiful single trail that shows the Mutzkopf from its best side and also acts as a feeder for the Gerry Tail.

On the Haideralm Trail the trails of the 3-Country region shows there full power and technical level. This trail is the most difficult trail. The trail passes directly under the cable car from the mountain station to the place San Valentio/St. Valentin. With the necessary bike-driving skills and technical knowledge the Haideralm Trail is a real big hit for all Enduro-fans.

The Spin Trail leads the bikers through the lonely mountain world at the 3-Länder Eck and leads along the slope towards the south. The Reschensee to the left flashes again and again through the woods and suddenly it is clear: here I am right! The Upper Spin Trail leads to the Schneider junction. From here it's either back to the Schöneben Bahn or further south to the Haideralm.

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 Reschen head via Vallierteck in the direction of Rojen. Arrived at the Kopferbrücke bridge parking lot of the Rescher Alm, take the main road on the right to reach the Rojen valley. Here the trail continues slightly uphill on the asphalt road. At the crossroads to the hamlet of Rojen, continue straight on and then turn left towards Schöneben mountain station and the alpine pasture there at 2,087m. After a short stop at the Schönebenhütte, continue below the hut on the asphalt road towards St. Valentin-Haideralm. After a long downhill ride, the gravel road "Plattweg" branches off to the right on the ski slope in the direction of Haideralm. Now it's about 3 km slightly uphill to the Haideralm at 2,120 m. Make another stop here. The regional cuisine is highly recommended. After a culinary refreshment, start the return journey to the valley. The 5 km long descent along the forest road in the direction of St. Valentin leads through beautiful spruce and larch forest to Plagött above Lake Haider. From Plagött, a wonderful view of the small natural lake opens up towards the south of the Vinschgau Valley. Once in St. Valentin, take the cycle path on the left towards the dam wall of Lake Reschen and cycle on to Graun and Reschen.

The Gerry Trail makes the hearts of experienced bikers beat faster. Very playful, it winds its way down the valley and offers many a technical challenge. But: every spot can be easily bypassed and the lower part is more relaxed to master.

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 mountain bike tour leads along a forest path to the Malga Stelvio di Sopra/Oberen Stilfser Alm, which makes it ideal for e-bikers. At the end of this relatively easy tour, a managed alpine hut awaits you, with its own alpine dairy and refreshment facilities.

The trail starts at the Riatschhof and is due to the terrain in the upper part equipped with five somewhat falling turns before a flowing sloping passage comes. Another four nimble turns form the end of the trail. 
The trail then continues via the family trail to the Mutzkopf valley station.

The trail starts at the end of the Gerry Trail and ends at the Riatschof. From here you can either take the Riatschwegele Trail 2 or an easier variant to the Mutzkopf valley station.
The trail is one of the flowiest and easiest in our area. It is perfectly adapted to the terrain. Playful lines make the trail very attractive. After about 0.5 KM a northshore leads in the opposite direction of the trail and leads very flat with short pedaling passages to the end of the trail.

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. 

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.

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.

It starts at the highest point and leaves no stone unturned on the 1700 meters of trail to put a big grin on your face. The start is a few meters up, the Green Trail leads into the lower part of the Eleven Trail.

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.

The new Piz Trail winds its way from the Piz-Schöneben mountain station towards the valley over a length of 7 km and 600 metres.

too much, only this much has been clear since its completion:
The Piz Trail on the Schöneben lift is absolutely world class in its segment!

The mountain bike tour to the Malga Vitelli/Kälberalm is an easy tour, which leads through the forest to an alpine pasture. Since the tour follows a forest path, it is suitable for e-bikers.

The Almtrail leads from the Bergkastel mountain station in the direction of Plamort. You pass directly by the Stieralm (refreshment stop). From there the trail continues to the Plamort plateau and then joins the Plamorttrail.

This route is suitable for a leisurely excursion, for families, and for mountain bike or e-bike tours for warm-up. The Resia lake can be cycled in both directions. Almost exclusively on asphalt, start along the cycle and gravel path from the famous church tower in Graun northwards to Reschen - past the sailing boats waiting for wind. Don't cycle straight forward to the Austrian state border. Instead, follow the cycle path in Reschen towards the western lakeside, past the Schöneben valley station, and calmly tackle the incline along the lake. The route is leisurely - until the southern lakeside with the dam wall and there is a fantastic view over the Malser Haide and King Ortler (3,905 m). At the dam, turn north and enjoy the panorama with the lake and the approaching mountains back to Graun. If the wind is strong, kiters and sailors can be spotted on Lake Reschen. There are cozy stops along the lake at the Sciuri at the Schöneben valley station, at the taverns Greinhof and Giernhof, at the new kitestation or at the businesses in Reschen and Graun.

The Bergkastel trail leads from the Stieralm downhill to the junction of the cycle path (Bergkastel valley station). The trail is a natural single trail with short pedalling sections. The trail is equipped with north shores, doubles and occasional tables. In parts, you reach the natural forest floor. At the bottom, a cycle path leads back to the Bergkastel valley station.

Far above, it leads across the picturesque and namesake Plamort plateau past the famous tank barrages. The Plamort Trail crosses the border between Austria and Italy and ends at the historic bunker complex.
