Description

Downhill-oriented mountain bike tour with crisp single trails on the heart of Route 32 Trans-Altarezia Bike. Thanks to the shuttle option to the Umbrail Pass, you can save the ascent with around 1000 meters of altitude difference on the Umbrail Pass road and enjoy the long descents on the single trails to the fullest. 

From the Umbrail Pass (2501 m above sea level) you can reach the Bocchetta di Forcula at 2768 m above sea level on a passable single trail, where you can admire old military installations from the First World War. After a short downhill, the ascent to Bocchetta di Pedenolo (2704 m above sea level) is worthwhile, and then tackle the descent to Lago di Cancano on the flowing single trail. Along the lakes Lago di Cancano and Lago di San Giacomo di Fraéle you drive on a wide gravel road in the middle of the alpine landscape to the Passo di Fraéle and then reach the Passo Val Mora (1934 m above sea level), the portal to Switzerland.

Until Palüetta (2009 m above sea level) you drive on a well-drivable single trail and then reach a forest road that leads through the picturesque Val Mora up to Döss Radond at 2234 m above sea level. The scenic beauty of Val Mora makes this long, but not steep, climb a pleasure.

From Döss Radond, right next to the forest road, some exciting and secret single trails lead back to Sta. Maria.

Alternatively, the tour can be tackled by physically very strong bikers as a round trip from Sta. Maria.
