The classic of the Val d'Ega, the Latemar Ronda, offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Dolomite mountains and is a dream tour for all those who want to get very close to the Latemar by mountain bike.
Going clockwise, the Latemar massif can be conquered also by trained hobby mountain bikers and bike-loving families on a full-day tour in 6 hours without any major climbs, but with two more challenging and steep descents. Begin this panoramic tour from the delightful villages of Welschnofen | Nova Levante, Karersee | Carezza or Obereggen.
ATTENTION! THE LIFTS TO THE LATEMAR RONDA ARE OPEN FROM MID-JUNE UNTIL MID-SEPTEMBER!
From the car park at the cable car in Welschnofen/Nova Levante (1182 m), take the Laurin I cable car up to the Frommer Hut (1743 m). From the mountain station, follow the gravel path [1A], which after about a kilometre leads briefly onto the main road Nigerstraße/Via Nigra until shortly after the Ochsenhütte Hut the gravel path continues through a breathtaking alpine landscape to the Karerpass/Passo Costalunga (1752 m). Alternatively, and easier, you can follow the asphalted main road (Nigerstraße) from the Frommer Hut to the Karerpass/Passo Costalunga. From the Karerpass/Passo Costalunga the tour now leads down into the Fassa Valley on the challenging gravel trail [519] to Moena. Along the Aviso river, the cycle path leads out of the valley to the valley station of the Predazzo-Gardonè cable car. Climb into the gondola and let yourself be transported back up to 1650 m. From the Baita Gardonè Hut, continue with the Gardonè-Passo Feudo chairlift up to the Feudo Pass (2175 m). Now take the path [504] down to the Huts Zischg and Ganischger. Continue on the asphalted trail [505] to the Reiterjoch/Passo Pampeago, then downhill via the Alpine path [9] past the Epircher Laner Hut to Obereggen and enjoy the scenic highlight. After one kilometre along the main road in the direction of Eggen/Ega turn right, pass above the Farm Bewaller and follow the „Templweg“ trail [8] to a trail junction. Turn left onto trail [25A] and then continue on trail [25] until just before the Stadl Alm Hut. Then head downhill on the steep trail [27] to Welschnofen/Nova Levante.Follow the main road for the last stretch to the starting point at the Welschnofen/Nova Levante cable car park.
