カーニョの峠・トップ10

Hofmadjoch pass right at the beginning of the tunnel. Several tunnels down towards Ultental. So it's clear (for me): it's better not to drive up from the Ultental, but rather down.

Whether you come from Tuenno or Malé, Passo le Fraine (1,712 m) is the ideal place to take a break and recover from the effort of the climb.

Nice steady climb with a nice view

The increase runs very smoothly without ramps. The road is wide enough for cars and trucks to overtake easily and the surface is very good.

Small, rather unknown pass between South Tyrol and Trentino. On the western, South Tyrolean side of Laurein over alpine meadows and light forest with a moderate gradient of a maximum of 8%, easy to reach the top of the pass. From the Trentino side a little steeper, but also with a maximum of 10% and winding, partly with a very nice view up to the inconspicuous pass in the forest.

Fortunately, the traffic on this route is very low - but cycling through such tunnels is only limited fun. Even a car in the tunnel roars the entire route as if a 40 tonne truck were sitting on your neck and loud motorbikes or trucks are accordingly more uncomfortable.

Coming from Malé, you have a long driveway behind you. The Passo le Fraìne at 1,712 meters is perfect for a short break!

Nice and rather quiet route to Ultental. The turn-off up to Mariolberg elegantly bypasses some of the rather unsightly tunnels by bike, collects a few extra vertical meters and can enjoy a great view. If you want to go on a round trip, you can switch to the Nontal via the 1712 m long tunnel under the Hofmahdjoch. The high point is reached in the tunnel just before the southern portal at 1720 meters. Since the route has some tunnels, two of which are over 1000 meters long, adequate lighting on the bike is recommended.
