Monte Rinder Perk

Monte Rinderperk

This thrilling mountain bike tour across Monte Rinder Perk in the German-speaking region around Sauris di Sotto offers a perfect blend of breathtaking panoramic views and smooth descents on challenging trails.

Description

The tour begins at Lake Zahrer, also known as Lago di Sauris. From there, the route winds steadily uphill on asphalt toward Sauris di Sotto. Through its architecture, place names, and cultural characteristics, this trilingual village conveys a strong connection to North Tyrol or Bavaria rather than to Friuli. This German-speaking influence is characteristic of the region. The route continues on gravel, interrupted by a short descent, before the final, strenuous climb to Malga Pieltinis begins. From Malga Pieltinis, you cross the ridge on a mule trail directly to Monte Rinder Perk. At the highest point of the mountain bike tour, a wide plateau opens up with a breathtaking 360-degree panorama amidst an impressive natural landscape. Then the long descent begins. On singletrack trails rated S1 and occasionally S2, the route descends to the next uphill section. After a short transfer, you return to the reservoir and thus to the starting point via a trail of similar difficulty.
