Ritten
Description
You start the tour on the outskirts of Bolzano and ride via St. Magdalena to Soprabolzano. You can also save yourself the seven-kilometre ascent and take the Ritten cable car to Oberbozen. In this case, you will miss the unique earth pyramids. Once you arrive in Oberbozen, the gentle ascent to the Rittner high plateau begins. Small paths and forest roads take you to Pemmern. Where you can take a break at the valley station of the Rittner Hornbahn cable car.
After refreshments, ride downhill on hiking trail 25, which is not too difficult and leads via Höldboden, then back on the ascent route to Oberbozen. In Oberbozen, keep to the right and ride downhill on the Maria Himmelfahrter Weg. Soon a trail branches off to the left, which is rocky and blocked and soon leads back onto the road. After about 300 meters, turn right onto a gravel road that becomes a trail. The downhill to Bolzano is very fast, partly blocked on a gravel surface. It ends in the district of Drei Bankelen, where you roll back to the starting point.

Background to Ride MTB
Ride MTB is dedicated to mountain biking. With the maps Ride Trail Maps and Trail Books and the print magazine Ride, it has played a formative role in alpine mountain biking for many years and has shaped it like few other organizations.
In addition to the publishing business, the company is now also active in product management and operating entire mountain bike projects. These include the tourism project Ride Travel and the development of modern and authentic mountain bike offers such as the Bahnentour in Davos Klosters, Engadin St. Moritz, Lenzerheide or Aletsch, as well as the creation of multi-day tours such as the Postauto-Tour or the Hüttentour.
Ride MTB GmbH was founded in 2001 (formerly Swiss Sports Publishing GmbH) and has been owned and managed by Thomas Giger since then.

The brains behind Ride MTB

Made the tour today.
The ascent is a challenge even with a full-power e-bike.
Even as a biker in good physical condition, I was often at the limit despite the turbo, which I normally never use.
The loop to Pemmern is boring, almost no trails.
The few short sections are paid for by having to negotiate 4 wooden fences 1.5-1.6 meters high.
You have to lift your bike over them.
This is probably to keep bikers away from the forbidden trails.
In my opinion, it is therefore only suitable for e-bikes to a limited extent.
Without an e-bike, however, you will probably have to push a lot uphill,
The downhill trail is rocky and blocked, but everything is rideable and fun. But I wouldn't call it a fast trail either.
