South Tyrolean hospitality straight out of a picture book. A wonderful location, ham, bacon and farmhouse bread. What more do you want? Maybe dumplings? They taste really great on this beautiful, rustic alpine pasture!

Very nice tour, but better to do it in the other direction, then you can ride down the Lupo trial, so it was a fast descent but without any further highlights

Demanding tour for those in good physical condition. Above Kastelbell, the road meanders up the mountain with an average gradient of 10%. Even with an e-bike this is not child's play. The Marzoner Alm is located at 1600m and invites you to stop. Behind the Alm, the descent begins across a meadow before the trail becomes more challenging. Slightly exposed …

A nice tour that we loaded from Sentres. But: there are 500m downhill on a steep hiking trail. We pushed.

Today we went up to the Marzoner Alm at an altitude of approx. 1,600 m. The valley descent ran over some very nice S1 trail sections alternating with forest and farm roads. We then made a small detour to Naturns and dawdled along the Etsch cycle path, which is moderately busy at this time of the year.
