Mountainbiketochten in de Dolomieten

The Alpe di Siusi is probably the most ideal "playground" for bikers who want a relaxed tour combined with breathtaking views of the surrounding Dolomites. Europe's largest high alp offers not only breathtaking panoramas on this tour, but also a great mix of ascents and descents for pleasure bikers.

This difficult but breathtaking circular tour starts in St. Vigil and takes you into the Fanes-Sennes-Prags nature park. From St Vigil, the cycle path leads along the river through the forest with a moderate ascent to the Lavarella mountain hut. From there, the route becomes steeper up to Fanes alpine pasture, where a breathtaking view of the Dolomites awaits you. From the pasture, the route continues past further alpine huts and lakes up to Lake Limo, the highest point of the tour. You then cycle through the Great Fanes Valley and then starting from the Col de Locia, a difficult descent to the Capanna Alpina begins - here you may have to dismount and carry your mountain bike. From the Capanna Alpina, continue to St. Kassian and then ride along the cycle path to Zwischenwasser and from there back towards St. Vigil.

Spectacular Dolomite peaks and legendary mountain passes: The Sellaronda is one of the most beautiful and popular circular routes in the Alps and offers all kinds of exciting options in winter or in summer. One of these is the Sellaronda mountain biking tour. The tour requires a good level of physical fitness and mountain biking experience, because there are some tricky climbs and a few difficult descents to manage. However, for the last few years there has been the option of avoiding some of the particularly steep climbs by using lifts, making it possible to complete the tour in a day.

Following the Sellaronda MTB Tour Anti-Clockwise there is a total height difference of about 1.020 m to be cycled uphill and several descents through single trails or forest roads. Therefore it is more suited to those who enjoy cycling uphill on your MTB or e-bike. The time needed to complete the tour varies according the ability of the biker: from a minimum 6 to a maximum of 9 hours, with a lunch break included.

There's nothing wrong with a bit of fun – it was this motivation which in autumn 2014 broke the ground for the Piz de Plaies trail in San Vigilio. The trail is filled to the brim with jumps and banked curves. It's only a short ride up on the Pedagà-Piz de Plaies cable car before the track winds back down into the valley on a mad series of bends. Not a single section of this trail is straight, so prepare for active riding and leave your fear of steep passages at home. It's a guaranteed buzz! Suitable for true pros and medium-advanced riders.

The Alta Badia valley, the green valley at the heart of the Dolomites and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has been a popular destination for leisure cyclists for years.

Before going back, it is worth making a short visit to the Cristlá Restaurant & Pizzeria, which is located just a few hundred meters further on from Chi Plans on road 29 towards Untermoi.

The Rodaval cycle path is a scenic and enjoyable route that allows cyclists to experience the beauty of the Val Gardena region in Italy. Starting from the picturesque village of Roncadizza, located at an elevation of 1130 meters, the path winds its way along the Derjon stream, providing cyclists with stunning views of the surrounding mountains and valleys.

The route is mostly asphalted and easy to navigate, making it suitable for cyclists of all skill levels. However, there are some climbs into the valley that may be challenging for some, so using an e-bike can be helpful.

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 trail “Ödli” is ideal to enjoy the Dolomites in all their beauty. Ödli means eyes in the Ladin language and it is with their own eyes that taking the easiest of the Bike Beats trails, bikers will have the opportunity to admire the magnificent scenery.
The trail extends along the right slope of the Piz Sorega for a total length of 1460 m and an altitude difference of 142 m.

With the "Mans Trail" the Bike Beats “menu” offers even more adrenalin. After the Heart, the Eye, the Veins and the Breath, it's time for the Hands. The Trail Mans - in Ladin language hands, of moderate difficulty, calls for a sensitive touch and careful attention while riding along a fun route, where the trick lies in finding the optimal equilibrium between manual technique and balance.

This tour is for all those who would like to enjoy the beautiful panorama view, but do not dare to ride up the moderately difficult trail on their MTB and to cycle up over 900 m of altitude. Thanks to the lift support, only a few metres of altitude have to be mastered with your own steam. The last meters, you can expect a nice access with a pleasant incline, up to the Resciesa alp.

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.
