Stafellalm
Description
The (lift) pleasure before the view. And no tough nuts to crack downhill. The Stafellalm circuit and the 40er trail can be summed up in two sentences. From the village square in Scena/Schenna high above the rooftops of the Art Nouveau town of Merano/Meran, you cycle along the Riffianerweg trail and the Passeiertal Valley cycle path down to the Hirzerbahn cable car station in Saltaus/Saltaus. After the cable car ride to the middle station in Prenn, you turn north and ride downhill. But not for long, because after about 200 meters you take road no. 4 uphill on the right. This soon becomes a forest road, which ends about five kilometers and 450 meters of altitude difference later at the Hirzerhütte (1983 m). Here you ride on to the right along the 40-meter trail to the beautifully situated Stafellalm (1940 m). After a well-earned break, you should not miss the junction of the 40er trail - about 250 meters after the hut on a downhill forest road. Follow this pleasant narrow path, which is only difficult in a few places, to the mountain village of Videgg (1536 m). Continue downhill on gravel over the river into the Masulschlucht gorge, but immediately start climbing again. Many mountain bike routes now ride up to the Taser Alm with the mountain station of the cable car and then roll back down to Scena/Schenna primarily on forest paths. You can reach a higher section of singletrail by taking the Taser Höhenweg trail to the 16er trail to the Tratterhof, which takes you to Hasenegg. The final section back to Scena/Schenna is on the road because there are usually too many hikers on the Waalweg trail running parallel to it.

We rode this route today, October 4, 2026. Starting at noon, you can take the Hirzer gondola to the Prenn midway station. From Prenn, a moderate climb leads to the Hirzer Hut. The restaurant is reasonably priced and the food is good. After that, the route is mostly downhill on beautiful trails. Of course, we rode without electric assistance, using analog enduro bikes and flat pedals. There aren’t many flow sections, but the views are stunning.
We rode the tour again after 4 years and climbed it ourselves. You should do it early. We were at the top at 10.30 am and it was very crowded with hikers.
The 16-trail is very overgrown at the start and very flowy at the bottom.
We then climbed another 100 meters and took the 20 to the cable car parking lot, the 20A has a no biking sign.
Did the tour today. I skipped the cable car and rode up the road - which is rather boring.
The uphill sections are quite crisp. The downhill trails are flowing, but also peppered with little finesses. A very nice tour with lots of trails!
The trails on this tour are rather relaxed and only require limited riding technique. Good to combine with the "Lenzeben" tour, as you virtually come out at the Taser cable car. If only one round of the two, then definitely "Lenzeben".
Did the tour on 19.05.2022. The Hirzerbahn has no time limit for bike transport.
The tour is fun and the many refreshment stops are great. The trails are great.
