Trail is partly very narrow in exposed places.
Be careful of “loose” stones - they can hit the trail again downhill

Trail 1 to Gossensass (Colle Isarco)

Highlight • Trail

One of the top trails in this region. You should have taken it under the galleries once.
Flow, driving challenges and S-curves over 770 meters make this downhill fun.

July 18, 2023,TransAlp 2023 / Garmisch - Gardasee - Tag 3 - Von Obernberg am Brenner nach Sterzing

Brenner Grenzkamm MTB tour on 07/18/2023
(3rd stage of our TransAlp 2023 from 15.07.-24.07.23)
Between Gries (AT) and Gossensaß (IT) an old military road runs at 2,000 to 2,200 m over a length of approx. 11 km wide and almost flat on the border ridge between Austria and Italy. From Gries, you have to climb almost 1,000 meters in altitude …

This time there are outstanding bills to settle - but not until tomorrow.

Today I did this awesome stage to acclimatize, similar to No. 3 of the last AX - and again the border ridge did not disappoint:

The first few meters up there make you forget the short, but sometimes not easy climb. On the ridge at the top …

The train first went from Brixen to the Brenner Pass. After a few kilometers down the valley, the path then branched off to the right and led us to the ridge.
There we drove along the ridge for km with pleasant winds. Occasionally there are still shelters of the first world.
It went steeply down to the Sattelbergalm and then …

For the second border ridge tour between Italy and Austria, I chose a different starting point. From Sterzing, I followed the cycle route via Gossensass, Griess am Brenner to Vinaders. In the village, I then turned left and followed the mountain route to Sattelberg (Monte Sella). Once at the top, I followed the old war paths with a few detours …

The first day of my little excursion into the South Tyrolean mountains takes me up the Brenner border ridge road. The ascent from Gries am Brenner to the Sattelberg isn't too terrible, and then you enjoy a ride at an average elevation of 2,100 meters over 11 to 16 kilometers, depending on whether you include the Portjoch or not. The …

This tour is a highlight and follows the entire Brenner border ridge. There are no dangerous passages, but there are no through traffic restrictions on some sections.
We start in Gossensaß and take the old military road to Sandjöchl at 2,165m. The road is in very good condition, has a pleasant gradient and offers a few beautiful viewpoints of the …

Today we drove over the border ridge to South Tyrol. An impressive tour... The descent to Sterzing went over a lot of gravel... was mentally very exhausting. 🚵🏻‍♀️🚵🏻‍♀️☀️
