Gravel Road to Antholz

Highlight • Trail

Nice quiet gravel road so you don't have to climb the Stalle pass next to cars going 90kph. Wouldn't want te descend here though.

July 12, 2022,🌞 Von Welsberg zum Biathlon Center Antholz 🌞 15,7 HM pro km Tirol '22
Today the two of us were again deeply relaxed on tour and looked at the above facility and Lake Anterselva.

The landscape is just gorgeous 😍

The way there was really nice too.

I still have two interesting pieces of information ☝️

At Lake Anterselva you can recharge your e-bike in the "Seerestaurant" even if you are not a guest.

Today we're heading from Olang towards Antholz. The weather was very cloudy. On some brand-new, paved bike paths, off the main road, we climbed almost all the way to the biathlon stadium. We actually wanted to cycle up the Stallersattel 🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️, but the weather put a damper on our plans. It suddenly started to rain, so we turned around and …

Today was our last tour into the Antholz Valley. We really noticed the elevation gain 🥵😂. Wonderful tour, great trails, and a stunningly beautiful lake 🤩👍

From Lake Antholz we continue on the road that was blocked by a mudflow in August. It's great how quickly everything was fixed here.
If you hear live music along the way, you should turn left instead of following your path to the right and look for the source of the noise. It was worth it for us and the …

After a delicious snack, we then cycled to the Antholz mountain lake, where a snowstorm surprised us....but the weather decided to be nice again....again a perfect day....

September 19, 2024,2024 Olang - Antholzer Tal
Today's destination was the Antholzer See and the Staller Sattel. But as the mountains increasingly disappeared behind the clouds and it began to rain, we decided to abandon the tour between Antholz-Mitteltal and the lake and start the return journey.

Today was a bike ride that pushed us to our limits, with some very steep climbs. The last 4km were in a block. We just managed to reach the pass before oncoming traffic came. The reward was an incredible view. And then the descent. Now the 30km back down. We used the 625 battery every last meter... My husband had …
