Mountain biking in the Dolomites

Discovering Alta Badia and Fanes Plateau

Sometimes it’s better to not use maps or tour-descriptions but to bike without any plan. Only so you have the guarantee to live some amazing adventures and surprises.

Here we present a tour, which is a little bit different, proposed by the mountain bike pioneer Tilmann Waldthaler.

The mountain bike tour

Starting point is the valley station of Arlar ski-lift in Corvara. Following a steep forest track you reach soon the Fanes Plateau.

There begins the adventure: bike in every direction you like, don’t look in to maps and enjoy the amazing landscape and view over Marmolata, Geißler and Fanes-peaks. Don’t forget to take some break in one of the many lovely huts: like Prelongia-hut, Piz Sorega-hut and Piz La Villa hut.

To turn back to Corvara you only have to take one of the many hiking paths or the asphalted round-road which frames the Fanes Plateau. The road leads you over Arabba, St. Kassian or La Villa to Corvara in South Tyrol.

The difference in height comport 400-700 m, the distance minimum is about 12 km.
