Mountainbiketochten in de Dolomieten

„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.

Ramitzl Alpine Trail

Anyone looking for a bigger challenge, does not turn towards the Unterpulghütte mountain hut after 4.4km, but continues his route at the same gradient to the Ramitzler Schwaige Alpine pasture. As a reward and compensation for all efforts, excellent food and sensational views are also waiting here. For the sportily ambitious, there is also the opportunity to continue the route without bicycle and to climb the Rasciesa di Fuori/Außerraschötz mountain with its extraordinary summit cross and incredible 360° panoramic view (walking time of approx. 1.5 hours from the Ramitzler Schwaige).

 

 

 

 

„Bike fun underneath the Passo Furcia/Furkelpass“

Leisure point: Hotel Bad Bergfall and Inn Trattes.

„View over the Valle di Anterselva/Antholzertal“

Nice tour of medium lenght passing the southern woods of Valdaora/Olang in order to arrive at the beautifully situated Alp Angerer, where bikers can enjoy a restorative stop with an amazing view.

New in summer 2022 in the Bike Park Kronplatz is the "Dragon Trail": the trail, over 2 kilometers long, winds along the hillside from the summit to the middle station of the Olang 1+2 lift. The highlight is definitely crossing the Dragon's Head and the Dragon's Tail, where you have a beautiful panorama of the surrounding Dolomites at the same time.

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 start of the trail is super comfortable - from Mitterolang it's only 3 kilometres to the cable car Olang I+II in Gassl - and in about 20 minutes you’re on the summit, ready to start.

Starting point: Center of Valdaora di Mezzo/Mitterolang Finish point: Passo Furcia/Furkelpass Altitude difference: 728 m Lenght: 10,2 km

Start is in San Pietro at the church. Follow the road to the next fork, turn left and at the next intersection keep right in the direction of Rabanser Hof. From here turn right and follow the forest road until you reach the "Plankl Höfe". From there on the asphalted road in the direction of the Pontives craft zone.

You don’t get much closer to the Schlern than this: This leisurely loop-route leading from Compatsch to the Spitzbühl at the far end of the Seiser Alm boasts breathtaking views of the Dolomite peaks and Seis am Schlern at the bottom of the valley.

The Spitzhorn Trail is divided into three sections: the first part, which breaks off from the Gassl Trail, is a sequence of very smooth flowing curves, the middle section features jumps and features in an open area with great visibility to the scenic Wallride. The last section runs through the forest, alternating between natural terrain and various wooden footbridges that eventually lead back to the existing trail.

Unterpulg Alpine Trail

 

The Unterpulghütte mountain hut is not quite 5km away at an altitude of 460m. The route runs continuously through the forest at different gradients – depending on condition, you may have to push your bike for a short stretch. It is only when reaching the hut that you can experience a unique panoramic view over to the Sciliar/Schlern mountain and across the upper Val Gardena/Grödnertal Valley. After refreshments with typical South Tyrolean delicacies in the mountain hut, one can enjoy the view and tranquillity to the full in the available loungers.

Extremely diverse tour, which really offers everything that makes an eventful MTB route.
