The Andreas Trail - a hand-made trail masterpiece in the valley area which is not directly accessible by lift. It requires full concentration, riding skills and above all experience! This Trail belongs to the best what skilled freeriders can find at Kronplatz.
Length: 900 m
Difficulty: Difficult
The masterpiece
First opened in 2018, this hand-made trail in the lower part of Kronplatz branches off from the Andreas trail after the first few bends. Compared to Andreas, Alex requires a bit more pedalling and an active, anticipatory riding style. The trail is a true masterpiece and mountain bikers far and wide love it: The feedback at the 2018 TrailTrophy was quite simply overwhelming.
Level: medium to difficult
Located in the lower section of the Herrnsteig trail and dotted with wide and flowing bends, this is the ideal line for riders looking for an alternative to root-covered “classic” trails.
Level: medium
Fitness & Fun
This trail is best described as a bit of a rascal: cheeky, naughty, unpredictable and rough around the edges. The perfect trail to break a sweat and have tons of fun while toiling away. But a word of caution: It’s only suitable for riders who are already good at manoeuvring their bike safely.
Christian starts at the Bergfreundehütte inn, where it forks off from the Herrnsteig trail. After about 1 km, it merges with the Franz trail.
Length: 636 m

The tour starts at the sports field in Pfalzen and follows MTB Route No. 441 through beautiful forested areas to the Pitzinger Alm, passing the Kofler am Kofel guesthouse and returning to the sports zone in Pfalzen. From the starting point, the route takes you along a paved road toward Platten, through green valleys and gentle hills. Soon, you reach a wooded area where the fresh mountain air makes the ride especially pleasant.
The trail winds through dense vegetation, offering occasional open views of the surrounding mountains and valley. Some challenging sections include steeper climbs, but the breathtaking views and idyllic nature make every effort worthwhile.
Once you reach the Pitzinger Alm, surrounded by an impressive mountain backdrop, it’s a perfect spot for a well-deserved break. The return route leads back to the Pfalzen sports zone, passing the Kofler am Kofel guesthouse, where you can savor local cuisine. Here, the views of the Kronplatz and the Dolomites are truly spectacular.

What goes up comes back around
Uschi branches off the Richard-Anton trail and is brand-new: Hand-crafted in 2020, this trail through the woods is one to watch out for: It starts off with a climb to its highest point, after which it's bend after bend, roller after roller and some more tricky challenges that require creative solutions. Uschi briefly forks off Richard-Anton before merging back into it again just before it ends.
Length: 600 m
Difference in altitude: 81 m
Level: medium to difficult
Easy route on quiet side roads through woods, meadows and fields. The whole track is tarmacked and therefore also suitable for touring and racing bikes.
Family-friendly route to Pieve di Marebbe with the pilgrimage church that is visible from afar and popular with visitors. The route is fully tarmacked and therefore also easily managed with ordinary touring cycles.
#hansthetrail
Hans is, in a way, an extension of Franz. Painstakingly carved and hewn into the slope over the course of countless hours of manual labour, it boasts bends, waves and steep sections galore – all of which come in rapid succession. This ever-changing trail requires full concentration from top to bottom: pure bliss for experienced mountain bikers.
Beginners beware: Chances are that Hans might be a bit overwhelming, so we recommend staying on the original Herrnsteig trail.
Length: 750 m
Difference in altitude: 187 m

#franzthetrail
Franz is awesome and a bit reminiscent of Little Canada. Together with Hans, it is among the first completely hand-built trails at Kronplatz and absolutely not suited for newbies. And quite frankly, some of its sections will even make most pros break a sweat. Today, Franz is one of the coolest trails at Kronplatz – and a MTB dream come true for many riders. Where to find it? It branches off from the Herrnsteig trail a little above the Herzlalm inn.
Length: 978 m
Difference in altitude: 207 m
Level: difficult
Paved track with two short uphill slopes. Suitable for beginners. Setting off from the church square, turn right after a short uphill ride and then continue along the road towards Pederü for 6 km.
Once you reach Fodara Masaronn, follow the new cycling path to Pederü. To go back, take the same route – this also gives you the option to shorten the trip by just turning round and cycling back.
Rocks and Rolls
Introduced in 2019, Richard-Anton is a kilometre’s worth of pure awesomeness with a fierce uphill stretch at the start, plus hand-carved waves and bends throughout. The absolute highlight and a top-notch spot for action shots: the rock roller in the upper third of the trail. A dream come true.
The trail starts directly opposite the entrance to the second part of the Korer trail and is not connected to the lifts.
Level: medium to difficult
From San Vigilio, follow the main road to Corvara, where the zigzags begin for Passo Campolongo. Cross the pass, follow the road downhill for Arabba and then Selva di Cadore. Here is where the very hard ascent of about 900m of difference in height begins, towards Passo Giau, one of the most breathtaking passes in the Dolomites. Continue downhill to Pocol, a small village before Cortina where, on the left, you take the last ascent to Passo Falzarego. Lastly pass through Passo Valparola, San Cassiano, La Villa and Longega, and back to San Vigilio.
The tour begins in the Pfalzen sports area. You’ll start on a paved road that gently climbs through the village of Pfalzen. After the first few kilometers, the surroundings grow denser, and the forest provides a pleasant coolness.
After a light ascent, you’ll reach the first fork in the road. Here, follow the marked path and the sign for MTB Route 442. The path now becomes a bit steeper and will test your endurance. The trail winds through nature, passing scattered trees and shrubs, occasionally opening up to views of the surrounding valley and the Dolomites.
After one final climb, you’ll reach your destination, the Kofler am Kofel Inn. Here, you can enjoy a well-deserved break with regional cuisine and scenic views before returning along the same route.
Very long circular tour through the magical Fanes area with its stunning landscape. Impressive rock formations, untouched nature and unique animals and plants characterise this nature reserve. Note! Very steep stretch for pushing or carrying bikes down to Capanna Alpina.
This line offers a more comfortable and flowing alternative to the far rougher and more technical Herrnsteig trail section.
Level: easy to medium
Start in the centre of San Vigilio and take the provincial road to Pieve di Marebbe, pass the Passo Furcia and arrive to Valdaora. In the centre of Valdaora di Mezzo turn left on the tarmacked cycle path. Pass Castel Lamberto to reach Riscone. Continue on the provincial road as far as Santo Stefano and San Lorenzo. Before San Lorenzo, take the underpass and follow the road to San Martin (municipality of San Lorenzo) and Sares. Lastly, return to San Vigilio via Pieve di Marebbe along a beautiful scenic and very quiet road.
Easy circular tour to the hamlet Pliscia from where the route continues without major differences in altitude along typical scattered rural settlements and back to San Vigilio.
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 Kronplatz Bike Park is anything but ordinary. Instead of sketching trails on a drawing board, we went right into the forest and used whatever we found: Steep slope? Steep trail. Plenty of space? Perfect for jumps. Roots all over the place? Well, we’re in a forest, so there will be roots. In places where dredging was allowed, we put our excavators to work. And wherever it wasn’t, well, we didn’t. The result: At Kronplatz, there’s no copy-paste – each trail tells its own story.
And the trail names are quite unique, too: Franz and Hans are already legendary. They’ve been a household name in the community for years. But their successors are by no means inferior to them and have long been among the favourites of countless TrailTrophy and Alpine Enduro Series participants.
18 trails await you: 1 easy-moderate, 3 moderate, 10 moderate-difficult and 2 difficult.
With a total of 5 lifts and cable-cars (Kronplatz 2000 lift, Olang 1+2 lift, Ried lift, Ruis lift and Piz de Plaies lift) up and running all summer, our mountain bikers are spoilt for choice – that’s more than most places in the Alps can say for themselves. And with the exception of the Piz de Plaies lift, they all lead right to the peak at 2,272 m above sea-level, complete with jaw-dropping 360° views.
The Korer trail - a handcrafted trail master work in the valley area, which is not directly accessible by the lift. It requires full concentration, driving skills and above all, experience, and belongs to the best that mountain bikers can take under their wheels at Kronplatz.
Length: 900 m
Difficulty: Difficult
Incredibly long, insanely challenging and winding like there's no tomorrow: The Herrnsteig freeride trail is already legendary. One of the Alps' very best, it starts with a 20-minute cable car ride to the top of Mount Kronplatz and takes you down the north face of the mountain on an 8 km bare-knuckle ride worth an impressive 1300 m of difference in altitude. 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.
Short and very varied circular tour near San Vigilio, between the meadows and fields of the many mountain farms and adjoining woods.
