Cisloner Alm

Aufstieg auf Trasse der Flemstalbahn

In the very south of South Tyrol lies the Trudner Horn Nature Park and the mighty Cislon in the middle. This is the starting point of a wonderful singletrail tour with an ascent on a former railroad line and a long, flowing descent down into the Adige Valley.


Description

The base for the tour to the Cislaner Alm is the village of Neumarkt (Egna) in the Etschtal valley, which is easily accessible by bike on cycle paths from the towns along the wine route (Tramin, Kurtatsch, Kaltern). Initially you follow the river Adige uphill for a while, before climbing up to the former railroad line a little north of Egna. The Val di Fiemme railroad was in operation until 1963 and connected the Adige Valley with Val di Fiemme. The trains and tracks are long gone, but what remains is a route with a pleasant gradient that is ideal for cycling. This is why the ascent to Kaltenbrunn is downright pleasant despite its 800 meters of altitude. In Kaltenbrunn, however, you turn off to the right, reach Truden and follow a small road up to a kind of plateau at just over 1400 meters above sea level. The ascent is now over and it's time for the descent! Instead, you follow a fun trail down to the Cisloner Alm, which gives the tour its name and where a refreshment stop is an obvious choice. Fun and trail are the keywords for the rest of the descent. The route descends towards the Trudner Bach gorge. However, you always stay a good distance above the valley floor, pass the farmhouses of Glen and reach the first-class final section over the ridge directly above Neumarkt not far from the ascent route. Conclusion: an extended singletrail tour that can be tackled very early in the season due to the rather low altitude and southern location.

Unfortunately, the trail is now decorated with numerous official no biking signs 😞... both from above and below .... they weren't there last year

Great tour that is highly recommended, especially in spring and fall. The ascent on the former railroad line to Truden is very easy, followed by somewhat steeper ramps before the flowing descent with some more technical passages. A cool tour for those looking for fun and action.

Rode the tour today. Flowy is rather the wrong term. Very gravely, technically demanding, very little flow. That's how I would describe it. Has sections at S3 level.
