Description

Downhill-oriented mountain bike tour with crisp single trails at 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 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 an easily passable single trail, where you can marvel at old military installations from the First World War. After a short downhill, it is worth climbing to Bocchetta di Pedenolo (2704 m above sea level) and then tackling 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.

Up to Palüetta (2009 m above sea level) you ride on an easily passable 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 the Val Mora makes this long but not steep climb a delight.

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 bikers who are very strong in terms of fitness as a round trip from Sta. Maria.
