Friday (Kofelraster Lakes & Ultental Valley): We’ll start by taking the Aschbach Cable Car up to the “sun terrace” of the Vinschgau Valley. Via scenic, sometimes challenging singletrack trails, we cross over into the unspoiled Ultental Valley and climb up to the secluded Kofelraster Lakes. The subsequent trail descent leads back down to the main valley. Key stats: 52 kilometers | 2,500 meters of elevation gain | 3,300 meters of elevation loss (charging stations available along the way)

Saturday (Flagship Stage: Eisjöchl & Spronserjoch): The highlight of the camp. A road shuttle shortens the approach to the valley before the legendary ascent to the Eisjöchl (2,895 m above sea level) begins—completely rideable up the historic military trail paved with stone slabs. After the famous switchbacks of the descent into the Pfossental, the grueling climb back up to the Spronserjoch (2,581 m above sea level) follows: Here, the trail gets rough; tight switchbacks and boulder fields demand precise riding technique and, at times, a bit of pushing. The reward is a monumental trail past the Spronser Lakes with unobstructed views of the Dolomites—a seemingly endless descent into the heart of the spa town of Merano. Relaxed return to Naturns via the Vinschgerbahn. Key data: 48 kilometers | 2,100 meters of elevation gain | 3,500 meters of elevation loss (charging stations available along the route)

Sunday (Madritschjoch & Holy Hansen): Shuttle to Sulden and cable car ride up to the Schaubachhütte. We pedal across the bizarre moraine landscape to the Madritschjoch (3,123 m above sea level), the highest pass in the Eastern Alps that’s rideable. The alpine gravel descent leads past the Zufallhütte deep into the Martell Valley. Instead of simply rolling down into the valley, we tack on the climb to the Kreuzjöchl and, from the very top, merge directly onto the legendary Holy Hansen Trail—a 1,400-meter elevation loss that’s a real showstopper to wrap things up. Key stats: 51 kilometers | 1,500 meters of elevation gain | 3,220 meters of elevation loss (no mid-route charging required)

By car: Very straightforward access from Switzerland, either via the Ofen Pass/Münster Valley, the Reschen Pass, or from the south via Bolzano/Merano.

Public transportation: Travel by train or bus is possible, though it is time-consuming from Switzerland (via Zernez by PostBus to Mals, then by the Vinschgerbahn to Naturns; alternatively via Innsbruck/Brenner or Milan/Bolzano).
