Mountainbiketochten in de Dolomieten

The classic of the Val d'Ega, the Latemar Ronda, offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Dolomite mountains and is a dream tour for all those who want to get very close to the Latemar by mountain bike.

Going clockwise, the Latemar massif can be conquered also by trained hobby mountain bikers and bike-loving families on a full-day tour in 6 hours without any major climbs, but with two more challenging and steep descents. Begin this panoramic tour from the delightful villages of Welschnofen | Nova Levante, Karersee | Carezza or Obereggen.

THE LIFTS TO THE LATEMAR RONDA ARE OPEN FROM MID-JUNE UNTIL MID-SEPTEMBER!

If you drive below the Catinaccio and through the Latemar forest, you will reach Lake Carezza. This fairytale lake lies at the foot of the Latemar and reflects the beautiful mountain range. Lake Carezza is always a worthwhile excursion destination: in spring it is full of water while in autumn, you can catch sight of the nymph on the shore who, according to legend, lives there.

What an optimal start to an e-bike tour: a view across Sella Mountain and the impressive background of the City of Stones.

This tour impresses with its wonderful views of the Sassolungo and Sella massifs and the fewer metres in altitude that you have to climb under your own muscle power. Bikers who like to ride downhill and have a good basis in mountain bike riding technique will love this tour. Also for kids who are already good mountain bikers, the trails of this tour guarantee a perfect biking day. Surrounded by breathtaking panoramas and thanks to the lift support from the Ciampinoi cable car and the Gran Paradiso chairlift, the tour can easily be completed in half a day.

The counter-clockwise Sellaronda MTB Tour has a total altitude difference of approx. 1,020 m to ride uphill and descents that vary from single trails to gravel roads. It is therefore suitable for uphill cycling with or without pedal assistance/e-bike. The time required varies according to MTB riding ability: from a minimum of 6 to a maximum of 9 hours, including lunch break.

An easy trail for the whole family of 3,600 meters leads from the modern Piz Seteur cableway down to the Plan de Gralba. The flowing track is the ideal starting point for those who want to improve their basic biking skills.

We start this tour in Niederrasen and it first takes us out of the valley to Neunhäusern, where we then turn left towards Niederolang. We then continue past the church to the hamlet of Mühlbach and on to Gassl, where the valley station of the Olang cable car is located. This is where the ascent to the Furkel Pass at 1,789 metres above sea level begins. We initially ride along a gravel road until we turn onto the paved Furkelstraße, which then leads us to our destination. Once we reach the pass, we can enjoy the marvellous view of the surrounding mountains before returning to Niederrasen along the same route.

The classic of the Val d'Ega, the Latemar Ronda offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Dolomite mountains and is a dream tour for all those who want to get very close to the Latemar by mountain bike. Clockwise, the Latemar massif can easily be mastered by mountain bike beginners as well as families during a full-day tour without any major climbs. The starting point of this unique scenic tour can be the villages of Welschnofen/Nova Levante, Karersee/Carezza or Obereggen.

This easy and family-friendly bike tour takes us from Antholz-Mittertal over a distance of approximately 12 km to Neunhäusern. Along the route, we pass the Rasner Mösner biotope and enjoy the untouched nature of the Antholz Valley. Other highlights on this route are the MTB area, the fish pond in Antholz Niedertal and the leisure park in Niederrasen. In the first section we cycle on a well-prepared gravel path and the rest of the route on paved roads. Along the way, there are plenty of opportunities to stop for refreshments in the various villages of the Antholz Valley.

The start of this moderately difficult tour is in Niederrasen and first leads out of the valley to the historic bridge and from there on to Neunhäusern. Shortly afterwards, turn off towards Niederolang. Shortly after the railway subway, turn right again and cycle past the farms to Ried and on to Reischach. From there, the cycle path leads down to Bruneck and then along the Puster Valley cycle path back to Niederrasen. The highlights on this route are Lamprechtsburg Castle and the Rienz Gorge along the Puster Valley cycle path.

At the start of the new cable car in the centre of Nova Levante/Welschnofen there is an attractive ‘flow trail’ for bikers of all types. The trail has plenty to offer, with its twists and steep turns, small bridges, jumps and north-shores, which will get every biker’s heart beating faster!

Feet off the pedals and full power along the Pumpline.

At the start below the Frommer Alm, you choose the path that branches off to the right and with a lot of momentum you have to conquer the Carezza Pumps over 1,6 km.

For this tour you’ll need plenty of leg power if you want to experience the reward of a thrilling descent.

An absolute pleasure trail: flowing and embedded in the beautiful Dolomite landscape, the Paravis Trail winds its way from the mountain station of the Gran Paradiso chairlift, at the highest point of the famous Città dei Sassi (Stone City), to the valley station. The Ladin name Paravis stands for paradise and the trail lives up to its name, as it is constantly accompanied by paradisiacal views of the Sella massif and the Sassolungo. Fun for big and small bikers alike, and anyone sitting on the chairlift can often hear the bikers whooping with joy on the trail.

The longest tour in the Alpe di Siusi and Val Gardena region will win you over with two demanding climbs to Passo Sella and Passo Duron.

A break at the Hagner Alm hut is always worthwhile...

High above Welschnofen/Nova Levante you can enjoy the fabulous view of the Dolomites from the award-winning alpine cheese dairy.

On this easy and family-friendly tour, we start in the centre of Antholz Mittertal and cycle out of the valley on the cycle path, past the MTB area and the fish pond in Antholz Niedertal. The route then leads past the Rasner Möser biotope and the leisure park in Niederrasen to the end of the valley at the historic bridge. There, we use the underpass that runs beneath the main road to reach the other side of the valley. We continue past Neunhäusern to Niederolang, and from there, it's only a short distance to our destination in Mitterolang. Once there, you can explore the surrounding area and visit numerous bars and restaurants. Special highlights in Olang are also the Kids Area Panorama and the Kids’ World Olang.

The FLOW definition was invented for this trail: the path initially has individual "bumps", which can, but not at all costs be jumped. The track continues with a very fluid line with numerous parabols under the upstream station of the Dantercepies lift, up to the intermediate station. Beginners and advanced, but also kids will enjoy a world on this trail. Repeating the Flow Trail will not be a problem: thanks to the Dantercepies lifts, bikers and bikes will be transported from the intermediate station to the upstream station in the shortest time.

This variant leads to one of the most famous photo spots since the advent of social media. The ascent is only for really fit bikers and even with an ebike, the slope is only suitable for trained legs. But at the summit you are rewarded with a wonderful view of the Odle peaks, the Sella massif and the Sassolungo. But beware: if you cycle up the steep gravel roads, you also have to cycle down on them, and that requires a lot of strength, both uphill and downhill.                                                          

On this MTB or E-MTB route, all the queens and kings of the Dolomites can be seen. The Marmolada - Queen of the Dolomites, the majestic Sassolungo and Sassopiatto, King Laurin and his Rosengarten/Catinaccio, and the legendary Sciliar. The route starts from Val Gardena, passes through the Seiser Alm, descends into the Val di Fassa, and then returns to Val Gardena over the Sella Pass. Due to the length of almost 100 km, it is recommended to ride the tour with an E-Bike. Those who prefer to ride without an electric motor should consider splitting the tour into two days.

The tour starts in Ortisei (easily accessible from Selva di Val Gardena and S. Cristina via the Rodaval cycle path): the Ortisei-Seiser Alm cable car takes you to Europe’s largest high-altitude meadow, the Seiser Alm. Over lush alpine meadows, you ride with a view of the Sciliar – the symbol mountain of South Tyrol – across the Seiser Alm. Numerous mountain huts invite you to stop for a break. The route continues to Compatsch, where the descent into the valley towards Siusi allo Sciliar begins.

From Siusi allo Sciliar, the bike path continues to St. Konstantin. Shortly after the Gasthof zum Schlern, the ascent to the natural swimming lake Völser Weiher begins, where you can cool off if needed. The tour continues towards Ums (a district of Völs) up to the Schnaggenkreuz and finally onto the main road heading towards Tires at Rosengarten and St. Zyprian. It is worth taking Italy’s first Cabrio cable car to Frommeralm (those entering the tour from Welschnofen, below the Rosengarten Massif, take the Laurin 1 cable car to Frommeralm). The MTB path continues towards Karer Pass, where the descent into the Val di Fassa begins. The level bike path leads through meadows and forests along the Avisio River to Pozza di Fassa, and continues to Campitello di Fassa and Canazei. The bike path offers stunning views of the Dolomites and passes through lively villages. From here, you get breathtaking views of the surrounding Dolomites. The Queen of the Dolomites – the Marmolada, with its 3,343 m – can also be admired from here, along with the Sassolungo, Sassopiatto and the Sella massif. In Canazei, for the summer of 2025, the tour will include the use of the Canazei-Pecol and Toè lifts. Two great trails, the “DoubleU” and a section of the “Infinity”, lead from the top station of the Toè cable car to Pian Frataces (Lupo Bianco). With the Pradel-Salei cable car, we overcome the last altitude meters before heading back to Selva di Val Gardena via the Sella Pass, the Stone City, and the fantastic flow trails at Plan de Gralba. From here, Ortisei can be reached again via the “Rodaval” cycle path.

This Val Gardena MTB loop with its two single trails guarantees a total of over 10 km of trail riding pleasure and pure action. After a relaxed gondola ride in the direction of Dantercëpies, a flow trail begins directly below the breathtaking Cir peaks. Thanks to the Trail Arena ticket, this Cir Tiera Trail, as well as the other trails of the Trail Arena Val Gardena, can be repeated as often as you like. The trail continues along a path that is also open to mountain bikers: from the Gardena Pass it descends below the imposing rock faces of the Sella massif to the Miramonti zone, where the two main roads coming from the Sella Pass and Gardena Pass meet. Continue along a gravel path until you reach the entrance to the last stretch of the Family Trail to Plan de Gralba. If you want, you can take the Piz Seteur cable car and ride this flow trail and the other trails in this area a couple of more times, as they are part of the Trail Arena Val Gardena. Or simply return to Selva via a path that runs to the left of the stream.

At the foot of the giants of the Dolomites, the Rosengarten/Catinaccio and Latemar, this tour leads over roots and stones. From Welschnofen/Nova Levante, the trail leads steeply uphill past Karer See/Lago di Carezza to the idyllic Mitterleger/Radura di Mezzo. Via paths through the Latemar forest, you reach the Karerpass/Passo Costalunga.

Tip: Ideal e-bike tour or for MTB enthusiasts who like to tackle altitude metres.

On July 15, 2017 opens the Cir flow trail. A sequence of bumps, parabolic and north shore, whose rhythm, along with an average slope of 8%, makes it almost impossible to use the brakes. Particular care was reserved for the bottom covered with a layer of binder. Some variants allow the most beloved to make some nice jump. The route runs from Dantercepies 2300 mt, reachable both by the cable car from Selva and the chairlift from the Gardena Pass (and then from Corvara with the Plans Frara lft), to the Gardena Pass at 2120 mt.

Flow lovers will love this tour. The Trail Arena Val Gardena is probably the most panorama-rich trail park in the Alps and impresses not only with its wonderful views, but also with its 4 flow trails and the challenging freeride trail. All in all, a circuit around the tourist stronghold of Wolkenstein, with bends, jumps and lots of speed. Those who like it really technical will love to ride the Ciampinoi trail. Thanks to the 5 lifts of the Trail Arena (Dantercepies, Cir, Piz Seteur, Gran Paradiso, Ciampinoi), which can be used with the Trail Arena Ticket or with the Super Summer Card, there are hardly any metres in altitude that have to be pedalled uphill and the trails can be repeated as many times you want.

An easy trail for the whole family of 3,600 meters leads from the modern Piz Seteur cableway down to the Plan de Gralba.

The clockwise Sellaronda MTB TOUR involves relatively few uphill metres to cycle (about 370 m), thanks to the use of lifts that allow the transport of mountain bikes and e-bikes. There are numerous trails that require good riding technique. The total time varies according to riding ability: from a minimum of 5 to a maximum of 9 hours, including lunch break.

This challenging MTB tour takes you around two majestic mountains in the South Tyrolean Dolomites: the Rosengarten | Catinaccio and the Schlern | Sciliar.

On 88 km and 2,500 metres of ascent, the full-day tour offers a breathtaking panorama of picturesque alpine meadows, dense forests and imposing, rugged rock faces as well as peaks that rise steeply into the sky.

The freeride track is unique in the whole valley. It starts from the mountain station of the Ciampinoi and leads you down until the Pra Valentini hut. The track was built in the woods and the ride down to the bottom is for everyone an unforgettable experience.

This easy MTB tour delights everyone, as it runs mostly on the forest path without any major challenging passages. The fantastic view of the neighbouring Dolomite mountains such as Rosengarten/Catinaccio, Schlern/Sciliar and Latemar is always fascinating.

The tour runs easily from Karer See/Lago di Carezza partly through the forest and along the street Schönblickweg/Via Bellavista to the Tschein Panoramic Chairlift.
