E-MTB TOUR „MONTE SPINA TRAIL“

In the neighboring Veneto with Dolce Vita feeling.TIP!

Start at the Bike Academy Sextner Dolomiten  to Moso and we take the forest road no. 13 direction Nemes Alm, after about 2 km we turn off to the valley station of the Drei Zinnenbahn. To save our batteries, we take the cable car to the “Stiergarten”, then it goes to Nemesalm where we turn left just before the hut in the high valley to Knieberg saddle / Passo Silvella (2.320).

Once at the Passo Silvella, a strenuous section follows where you must cross the gravel fields of the Silvella pushing your bike. Then the highlight of the famous Monte Spina Trail. Nearly seven kilometres long, this grassy ridge extends apex-like towards the south. Here, you are balancing directly on the border and the views are terrific. On the right, the fossilised dinosaur of the Dolomites stretches into the horizon; on the left, resides the majestic Croda dei Longerin. It appears as though the trail never ends and the film reel of the Dolomite mountains continues forever.

In Dosoledo we have a well-deserved lunch break in a typical pizzeria, where of course "Dolce Vita Feeling" comes on.

From Dosoledo (1,230) over the Valgrande to the Passo di Monte Croce di Comélico (1,630) another challenging trail awaits calves that are now tired. But the shimmering green meadows in the setting sun of the afternoon more than compensate for the effort.

Once arrived at the Kreuzbergpass, it is only downhill and back to the starting point to Sexten Bike Academy Sextner Dolomiten

With “Mister Stoneman” Roland Stauder

We start at Sesto at the Bike Academy Sextner Dolomiten towards the main village of Sesto to the valley station of Monte Elmo cable car. By cable car, we go up to Monte Elmo and take a nice path to Rifugio Gallo Cedrone hut (2,150) and then along a wide, easy cycle path to the Rifugio Sillianer hut at 2,450 metres. After a short coffee-break we go on until Monte Arnese (2,500), either cycle or walk around this to the left. From there, we can enjoy sweeping views on the Tre Cime di Lavaredo and the Sesto Dolomites and also towards the Großglockner to the north. The entire Demuth passage (2,550) up to Passo Silvella (2,400) is about 7 km long and technically very difficult with narrow S2/S3/S4 trails and several points, where it’s necessary to carry or push the bicycle according to the different technical conditions.  We go in direction “Kleinarl” for about 5km where the single trail “Villpoan trail” starts until Malga Nemes Hut (1877).

There we visit Otti&Klara and of course, we will eat a typical South-Tyrolean dish.

After our lunch, we continue to Passo Monte Croce, passing “Scharzsee” towards the campsite. The trail from there is again a cool, partially challenging trail, with lots of roots, passing the campsite to the valley station of the “Tre Cime di Lavaredo cable car”. We return on the Sesto circular path back to Sesto to the Bike Academy Sexnter Dolomiten.

 MTB ALPS TOUR with

“Visit Hannes & Martina at Nemes Alp”

Start from the Bike Academy Sextner Dolomiten   in the direction of Sexten, then slightly uphill to the Mitterberg. After a short climb, it is relatively flat towards to the Nemes Alm. After about 20 minutes we reach a plateau is called  the "Saumad" (1.750) where we turn left to the Klammbach-Alm (1.940). This is also a demanding stretch, where after around 30 minutes we are enjoying the fantastic view on the “Tre Cime di Lavaredo”.

Arrived at Malga “Klammbach”, we make a break and enjoy the typical South-Tyrolean dishes from Hannes & Martina. When “Leon” plays with his accordion, we have the perfect flair.

Above the Klammbach-Almhütte we take the wide forest road to the Nemesalm (1,900), alternatively we sometimes use the hiking trail No. 13 this trail is partly more demanding with a carrying passage of about 100 meters, but in any case a highlight.

Shortly before the Nemes alp we take the wide route no. 146 into the high valley. After around 2 km, we turn right to Coltrondo Hut.
From Coltrondo Hut, we take the road for about 500m and then we turn right into the forest along hiking trail no. 149 towards Passo Monte Croce, initially a challenging technical S/2 trail in parts (as an alternativ we can take an easier way which passes the “Krötensee”), then on the forest road up to the fork Alpe Nemes. Arrived at the crossroad Alpe Nemes/Malga Coltrondo, we turn right into hiking trail no. 130 towards “Schwarzsee” and then we turn left, towards the campsite. The trail from here, is a cool, partially challenging trail with lots of roots passing the campsite to the valley station of the “Tre Cime di Lavaredo cable car” and the “Pollaio Hut”. We turn right to “Pollaio Hut” and on the Sesto circular path, we return to the Bike Academy Sextner Dolomiten  .

Before we return to the hotel, we make a short stop at “Gästhäusl Putschall” and drink a fresh, cool “Pustertaler” beer, to finish the day.
