Val Venosta has its next bike trail
The new route rides from Patsch to Schlanders along the existing 14er trail, which is already much used by mountain bikers. It has a continuous width of 80 centimetres and is attractive for beginners and experts alike. Martin "Matze" Gruber, who has already made a name for himself in the region with the construction of the Holy Hansen and Monte Sole trails, is behind the trail construction.
With the new trails, Val Venosta/Vinschgau is keen to offer a great experience to weaker riders without taking the fun away from the experts. The key to this are so-called flow trails. With the other two trails built by Matze Gruber, the region has proven that mountain bikers can be channeled on a voluntary basis. This control through infrastructure is considered one of the pioneering measures for regulating mountain biking.The construction of the new Patscher Trail has taken 19 construction days since the end of March, each with five to eight workers. Over 35 bends were laid in the terrain, and the route has a difference in altitude of 550 meters. It is now open and accessible.GPS track of the route:
