Mountain bike tours and e-bikes

This mountain bike tour starts in Colle/Bichl in Racines/Ratschings, just a few metres away from Hotel Seeber. Ride to Pulvererhof, take a sharp left and then cycle up the mountain on the forest trail past the Kaserlicht Alm and up to the Wasserfaller Alm. The high altitude trail now takes you past mountain pastures to the Kalcherlam and then off to the left just before the Passo di Monte Giovo/Jaufenpass road. On this trail you cross the pass road several times and reach Calice/Kalch, where you turn left and enter the forest over the meadows. You then return to Colle/Bichl on the Racines/Ratschings valley trail.

This leisurely mountain bike tour leads out of the valley to Stanga/Stange, where you follow the signs to Steingarten. Cycle along the stream where you can take a really pleasant, stunning break. Once you have arrived at Steingarten, you can read everything you need to know about the different rocks and stones in South Tyrol on the information boards.
Anyone who fancies it can cycle to Mareta/Mareit on the cycle path from Stanga/Stange and spend their mountain bike tour visiting Castel/Schloss Wolfsthurn. Otherwise you return to Hotel Seeber on the Racines/Ratschings valley trail where you are then well and truly spoilt and pampered.

A mountain bike tour for experts – it takes more than four hours to reach the Platschjoch. From Colle/Bichl you first of all head out of the valley to Casateia/Gasteig where the actual tour through the Giovo/Jaufen valley begins. You head towards the Jaufenhaus mountain inn via Schluppes and then after pushing the bike for a little bit you reach a mountain ridge with a breathtaking view where the mountain bike tour then takes you to Platschjoch. From here you continue towards Jaufenstraße then on to Kalcheralm and finally Rinneralm. You get back to Hotel Seeber on the forest road.

With its length of approx. 14 km and a difference in altitude of 700 m this is a mountain bike tour of medium difficulty. You can easily combine it with a hike from the Poschhaus to the old mining colony of San Martino Monteneve/St. Martin am Schneeberg (2,335 m) via the Kaindljoch.

Behind the Poschhaus ruins turn right and you will reach the alpine hut after approx. 200 m.

This tour is approx. 26 km long, starting from the parking place at the Montecavallo/Rosskopf ropeway in Vipiteno/Sterzing and taking you up to Montecavallo/Rosskopf – a long and demanding ascent which will however repay you with a fantastic view.

Follow the forest path for approx. 6 km, get past the Furlhütte, turn left to the Sterzingerhaus (CAI/AVS South Tyrol) and follow the hiking path to the Sternhütte. All huts and inns are open during the summer and are the perfect place to take a break and get something to eat.
From the Sternhütte follow the path no. 23 to the Kuhalm, continue to the Ochsenalm and start the descent, which will lead you past the Freundalm via the Atscherwiesen meadows back to Telves/Telfes. From there you can follow the asphalt road to Mareta/Mareit or return to the starting point in Vipiteno/Sterzing. This tour takes about 2.5 hours.
