The Madriccio Pass connects the Alta Val Martello and the Valle di Solda. Very high, difficult to reach, impervious: everything you could want from a high mountain pass.

Did this trip with friends a week ago. A unique experience. But I won't do it again, there is a high risk of falling when descending. Pushing the first 100 meters was the order of the day.

Every mountain biker who moves in the Alps should have ridden or pushed over the Madritschjoch at least once.

At 3,123 meters, the Madritschjoch is one of the highest crossings in the Alps. Up here you really have to be prepared for everything and find out about the snow and weather situation beforehand.

You have to reckon with pushing sections, because on the one hand the air is getting thinner and on the other hand the path is getting steeper. If you have made it to the top, however, you have a magnificent view of the Ortler massif.

The first 100 vertical meters on the single trail down into the Martelltal are quite difficult and many will have to push. After that, the trail becomes easier and you can enjoy the descent at mostly S1 level.

Two huts offer the possibility to absorb energy or to stay overnight. The Schaubachhütte (schaubachhuette.it/) on the ascent and the Unfallhütte (zufallhuette.com/de/) on the descent.
