Starting from Val Gardena, take the state road n. 242 which leads to Chiusa and continues up to Bressanone on the cycle path that runs alongside the SS12. Once in Bressanone take the ascent through S. Andrea up to Passo delle Erbe. At the top you cycle down towards San Martino in Badia to reach Corvara. Turning right you start the ascent to the Gardena Pass passing through Colfosco. After passing the Gardena Pass a pleasant descent leads to Selva.

This famous racing bike tour leads from Ortisei passing Castelrotto to Compatsch and Saltria.

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.

Panoramic road bike tour passing through Ponte Gardena or Chiusa, to Bressanone.

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.

There are rarely so many facets to a tour: the Via Crucis from the Vallunga to Daunëi, the gravel path to the Juac Hut with its wonderful panorama, the gravel road that leads to the Regensburger Hut accompanied by the imposing rock faces of the surrounding Dolomites, the wonderful view from Col Raiser and Seceda. The descent on gravel roads from Seceda towards S. Cristina should not be underestimated on this tour, as they demand a lot of driving skills and strength.

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.

Panoramic road bike tour from Ortisei, which pass through Castelrotto to Bolzano.

This 110 km long route runs from Ortisei over the Passo delle Erbe to Badia valley.

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.
As you ride along the path, you'll have the opportunity to stop in the charming villages of Ortisei and S. Cristina, where you can explore local shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions. 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 great tour with a mix of history, nature park landscape and breathtaking views. This tour, which is the clockwise version of the Regensburger-Hütte tour, is particularly suitable for bikers who are not yet very familiar with mountainbiking. Of course, it is still not a walk in the park, because you should have some uphill and downhill riding skills. The St. Jakob’s Church is the first highlight of the tour: the small church, the oldest in Val Gardena, is located in the middle of the forest and only the church spire towers above the trees of the Rasciesa Forest. The legend of Count Jakob and the wonderful view of the Sassolungo group lend this place something magical. The rest of the tour runs through the Puez/Geisler Nature Park: pure nature, a beautiful Dolomite landscape and numerous places to stop and enjoy the delicious South Tyrolean food in traditional mountain huts. Most of the route is on gravel roads, although some steeper sections uphill and especially downhill should not be underestimated.

All in all, a great ebike and mountain bike package to enjoy!

The ascent to the Comici Hut is sweaty, but the biker is spared the remaining metres in altitude thanks to the Gran Paradiso chairlift. The absolute highlight of the variant are the flow trails: from the highest point of the City of Stones, which is reached thanks to the chairlift, the Paravis Trail, which lives up to its name, leads to the mountain station of the Piz Seteur cable car. From there, you can choose between the flowy Family Trail or the adrenaline-pumping Easy Jump Line. From Plan de Gralba, a last trail leads to the left side of the stream to Selva Gardena and via the valley cycle path you finally reach the starting point in S. Cristina.

From the valley floor below, the jagged peaks of the Sella massif, the towers of the Sassolungo and Fermeda peaks and the Odle mountains all seem within easy reach. With 175 km of slopes, Val Gardena is not only the largest but also one of the most famous ski areas in South Tyrol. It became famous for the Ski World Championships held there in 1970. Today, cable cars and lifts bring visitors directly from the village centre up to the mountains where they can tackle slopes of all difficulty levels and with connections to the Dolomiti Superski carousel. From the huts, guests can enjoy culinary delicacies and panoramic views of the Dolomites. The famous "Sellaronda ski circuit" can be started from all Val Gardena villages. So too can the less well-known but equally diverse "Gherdeina Skiring" from the Alpe di Seceda mountain hut to Dantercepies. Only bold skiers dare to descend the steep "Saslong" slope on the Ciampinoi, while the 10.5 km "La Longia" route from Seceda to Urtijëi/Ortisei requires good fitness.

Let yourself be surprised by the fascinating and spectacular Dolomites roads.

This pleasent tour takes you from Ortisei over the passo Carezza to Passo Sella.

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.

Absolute flow fun for young and old in the Trail Arena Val Gardena, the bike park with the most beautiful panorama in the Alps.

Those who like it challenging and want an adrenaline kick can also take the Freeride Ciampinoi: this freeride route starts just below the mountain station of the Ciampinoi cable car, which starts in the centre of Selva Gardena.

Opening times: 15.06.2023-01.10.2023 (Family Line, Jump Line, Paravis, Cir Tiera, Cir Giara, Freeride Trail)

The Resciesa tour is a moderately difficult tour with rewarding panoramic views.
The consistently steep gravel road leads from Ortisei through the Resciesa forest to the Resciesa area. Due to its characteristic steep incline and treacherous descent, this tour is only recommended for experienced bikers with good physical condition. The effort of the 900 m of ascent is rewarded on the Resciesa alp with a breathtaking view of the Dolomites.

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.

A classic for the cyclists. The four-pass tour Sellaronda, is certainly one of the absolute highlights in the life of a cyclist. Among the racing bike tours, the route is considered of medium difficulty with a length of 58 km and almost 1,800 meters of elevation gain. Twiche a year, usually in June and September, the tour around the Sella Group belongs entirely to the cyclists.

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.                                                          

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.

This tour scores with a leisurely ascent in an enchanted-looking forest and the breathtaking view of the Dolomite landscape at the top of Mont Sëura.

For the sporty ones, who want to earn the panoramic view on the Seiser Alm, we recommend the Bulla variant. This tour is particularly recommended for mountain bikers of a high level, and at the same time it offers the chance to prove your technical skills. It is a difficult route and intended for the absolute professional bikers.

 

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.

The Family Tour Val d’Anna/Annatal is an ideal tour for families with children. The road, which has very little traffic, has a very gentle gradient and leads past the Col de Flam climbing garden to the Annatal hut, where parents can relax in the sun and the children find super fun playgrounds.
