Alta Badia Bike Beats
Description
The tour can be started in Corvara, St. Kassian or in La Villa (Stern). In the latter case, you start by taking the gondola up to Piz La Ila. Just below the mountain station, the trail marked 4A begins - a wonderful root path, which is occasionally used by hikers. This path leads over the northern ridge towards La Villa and finally joins a gravel road. Along the cycle path, you now climb up to St. Kassian and take the gondola to Piz de Surega, where the Cör Trail and later the Avena Trail take center stage. This trail is specially built for mountain bikers and consists of (rollable) jumps and many berms. In this way, you wind your way downhill to St. Kassian and take the same gondola up to Piz de Surega again. The next stage is the "Mans Trail" down to La Fraina - an undulating and fast "marble run" down to the valley station of the chairlift, with which you ride back up to Piz de Surega.
Now the transfer to the south side of the Pralongià area calls for a sporty effort. On a gravel road, you climb up to Piz Bioch and on to the Rifugio Pralongià. The wonderful view of the Marmolada, the eastern side of the Sella and the rocky peaks of the Fanes group is remarkable. The culmination point is reached at the Rifugio and the descent begins on the Fle Trail. This is also agile and varied, but also runs repeatedly over wooden constructions. After a gravel road section, you finally turn left onto a challenging root path down to Planac. You can then recover on the section down to Corvara to be ready for the challenging final stage. To do this, take the gondola up to Col Alto and then the chairlift to Braia Fraida. Roll along a gravel road for a short distance over the ridge, then take the singletrail on the left uphill to a fork in the road. Sentiero 2 is now in the foreground. A rooty forest path that becomes rocky after a short gravel section. The lower section in particular is challenging, but a treat for experienced mountain bikers and a brilliant finale to this circular tour through the Alta Badia region. Sentiero 2 leads down to the valley floor, where you can then enjoy a leisurely ride back to La Villa on a gravel road.
