Paradise for everyone — mountain biking in the Dolomiti Paganella

"Ultimate Enduro Experience" - on this tour is the name program! Breathtaking views and mega trails make for an unforgettable day trip that means fun for experienced bikers. This is also the responsibility of the six mountain railways that we have integrated into this tour: you do the biggest chunk of the 3,760 vertical meters for you and make sure that you can concentrate fully on the long runs - the longest (from the Cima Paganella to Fai della Paganella) is a whopping ten kilometers long and takes you 1,000 meters into the valley. Of course you pedal on this tour but also yourself. You earn about 1,000 meters in altitude by your own efforts, which is quite demanding.Our "Ultimate Enduro Experience" is also a challenge for experienced bikers. For the most part you cycle over suspended bike trails and the long runs require a certain level of fitness. In addition, you are usually traveling at high altitude: the Cima Paganella is at 2,125 meters the highest point of the tour. Nevertheless, this tour always keeps true enjoyment moments ready. Breathtaking views of the valley or just a cozy break in a small, Italian café - with all the bike action, the Dolce Vita is not too short. Maybe you even feel like an animal trip to the zoo of Spormaggiore, where you can observe bears, wolves, lynx and other alpine animals.Incidentally, if the whole tour is a bit too long for you, you can simply shorten it by, for example, skipping the round to Spormaggiore. So you can easily create your personal enduro experience that will give you an unforgettable day in the Dolomites.

A wonderfully long tour that demands everything and after which you arrive exhausted, but happy and satisfied back in Molveno. There you have earned a relaxing evening on the shores of Lake Molveno!With a length of almost 77 kilometers, this tour is a real challenge with some crunchy climbs on which you may even need to push your bike. After all, the lifts in the area take a lot of work from you: before you really start, you take the Pradel mountain railway up into the mountains, later you take the two paths up to the Cima Paganella. Overall, the downhill fun is outweighed and you have enough power to enjoy the beautiful scenery. In fine weather you can enjoy beautiful, unforgettable views of the Valle dei Laghi (Seental).The tour starts in Molveno, from where you drive through the Adamello Brenta Nature Park to Andalo. From Cima Paganella the tour leads down to the fabulous Lake Toblino. Via "Ude's Trail" and the "From Top to Lake" trail, we will return to the starting point.Tip:
You can shorten the tour significantly by driving it only to Lake Toblino or to Sarche. From there the bike bus (Bici Bus) line 3 goes back to Molveno in summer. Information can be found here: dolomitipaganellabike.com/trentino/en/2015-05-19-16-21-37/altri-servizi/514-dolomiten-bicibus

Of the three "zones" of the Molveno bike park, the Molveno zone is the lightest.
