This mountain-bike or e-bike tour treats bikers to a view of all of the Kings and Queens of the Dolomite mountains, including the Marmolada – Queen of the Dolomites, the majestic Langkofel and Plattkofel, King Laurin and his Rosengarten massif, and the Schlern in all of its legendary might. The route leads from the Eggental Valley to the Fassa Valley and on to the Gröden Valley, followed by a stretch through the Dolomites region Seiser Alm and back to the set-off point. Due to the length of almost 100 km, we recommend riding the tour on an e-bike. If you prefer to ride without an electric motor, you should consider spreading the tour over two days. You can choose to begin the tour from any one of the valleys it covers.

The cycling path leads first from Seis am Schlern to St. Konstantin. Shortly after the restaurant Gasthof zum Schlern, the ascent to the Völser Weiher lake begins; this is a wonderful spot to jump in for a refreshing dip. The trail then leads to Ums (a hamlet of Völs am Schlern) and on to the Schnaggenkreuz cross before the final stretch along the main road towards Tiers am Rosengarten and St. Zyprian, where a trip on Italy’s first cabrio cable car to Frommeralm is well recommended. If you start from Welschnofen, you have to take the Laurin 1 cable car to Frommeralm. The next stretch of the mtb-trail leads towards the Karerpass/Passo di Costalunga, where the descent to the Fassa Valley begins.
Here, a flat, even trail runs through fields and forests and along the banks of the Avisio river to Pozza di Fassa and Campitello di Fassa; this section boasts superb views of the Dolomites and runs through a series of vibrant villages. In Canazei, the tour in summer 2025 includes the use of the Canazei-Pecol and Toè lifts. Two great trails, the “DoubleU” and a section of the “Infinity” lead from the mountain station of the Toè cable car to Pian Frataces (Lupo Bianco). The Pradel-Salei cable car takes us up the last few meters of altitude before we head back to Selva Gardena via the Sella Pass and the Stone City and the fantastic flow trails on Plan de Gralba. From here, Ortisei can be reached again via the “Rodaval” cycle path.
From here, the St. Ulrich-Seiser Alm cable car will take you to the largest high-mountain pasture in Europe: The Seiser Alm, where you can enjoy a ride through lush alpine meadows with a view of the Schlern mountain – emblem of South Tyrol – and a vast array of mountain huts where you can stop for a breather and a bite to eat. The route continues onwards over the Seiser Alm to Compatsch, where the descent to the valley and to the set-off point begins.
