Stoanerne Mandl Meran
Description
The tour starts with the gondola ride up to Merano 2000. If you want, you can tackle the ascent via Hafling under your own steam, which adds 1300 meters of ascent. From the mountain station, the route initially follows forest roads (and a short singletrail section) to the Meraner Hütte and on to the saddle below the Spieler, then on a singletrail over the meadowy mountain ridge to the Stoanernen Mandl. Here you have reached the highest point, the route leads down to the Möltner Alm, and a slightly ascending trail takes you to the Auener Joch, which you have already passed on the ascent. Now follow the trail to the Vöraner Alm and the Wurzer Alm. After the Wurzer Alm in particular, the trail becomes very technical in places, with roots leading across the path in all directions. The route descends in this style to Hafling, where a short section on the road is on the cards. After St. Kathrein, more trail fun is on the agenda, with the last section leading to the valley station via the Katzenleiter trail. Instead of returning to the valley station, you can also descend via St. Valentin directly into the city center of Meran.

Gestern bin ich die schöne Tour gefahren.
Recht hoher Trailanteil, nie so ganz schwer, oft flowig.
2-3 Verbotsschilder gibt es, es hat sich aber niemand daran gestört.
October 9, 2026. Rode on analog enduro bikes with flat pedals. Really worked up a sweat on the way from Merano to the Merano 2000 valley station. A very beautiful ride from the mountain station to the Stoarnern Mandeln. I especially loved the scenery and the views. After that, unfortunately, the tour was a letdown. There are several sections that are no longer open to bikes, and at the end, you have to tackle a lot of elevation gain on the road.
I rode the tour on 17.06.2024!
If you follow the track, there are signs everywhere from the Wurzeralm pointing to an excellent trail! 🚳
The tour is a highlight in terms of panorama and deceleration - have been doing the route again and again for years - everything as described above... with one addition - the Manderl are getting more and more ... :-) :

We rode the tour on 03.09.17 during our vacation and can only recommend it. Starting point / end point was Hafling as our hotel was there. If you have enough power you should definitely drive up, very beautiful route / landscape. The few hikers we met were all very nice (like everyone in South Tyrol). On the way to the Stoanerne Mandl you ride past the Kreuzjoch, which is the highest point of the tour with a fantastic 360° panorama! Despite the season, there were few MTB riders on the trail, all without pads and full faces, which was a real treat for me.
Recommendation: Hotel Miramonti / Hafling
