Trumsberg (8er-Trail)
Description
From Laces, the route initially rides along the Venosta Valley cycle path to Castelbello/Kastelbell and then along the mountain road to San Martino/St. Martin. A little after the mountain station, a steep mountain road with the number 1 branches off to the left, on which the last 100 meters of altitude difference of the tour are mastered. The descent begins with the 1a trail, which lives up to its name. Before the Greitalm, the trail rides a few meters on a small road until the 2er trail begins. Follow this in the direction of Trumsberg, but then branch off onto the 8er trail. The rest of the descent back to Laces/Latsch takes you along this trail. The trail is particularly difficult to ride after the Platz group of houses and requires good riding technique. Rocky passages and narrow serpentines make the descent challenging. They are also the reason why experienced mountain bikers rave about this route.

Some seriously challenging trails! Finally, a real challenge again—one that still leaves you with a spot or two you couldn't clear on the first try, so you'll have to go back for a second or third attempt. A top-notch ride if you like it tough!
Sensational trail! The best I have ridden in the Vinschgau Valley. However, the description fits. The descent is partly blocked.
Unfortunately, there is still a driving ban on the high trail. But as the cable car can only be used from 15.00 anyway, you won't meet any hikers.
