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.

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.

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.

Once we reach the pass, we can enjoy the marvellous view of the surrounding mountains before returning to Niederrasen along the same route.

Incredibly long, insanely challenging and winding like there's no tomorrow: The Herrnsteig freeride trail is already legendary.

And it never has to be the same: On both sides of the original trail, a number of track alternatives branch off – towards endless fun and kicks. The perfect trail for pros and medium-advanced riders.

This challenging tour, which requires a certain level of fitness, starts in Niederrasen and first leads into the valley, past Lake Antholz, up to the Staller Sattel mountain pass (Attention!

Then it leads up to the Klammljoch Pass and from there downhill again, past the Knuttenalm mountain hut, to Rein in Taufers. From there, the route runs along the paved road to Sand in Taufers and along the cycle path out of the valley to Bruneck. From there, take the Pustertal Valley cycle path back to Niederrasen, turning off at Neunhäusern into the Antholzertal Valley.
