Good brakes are necessary. In some places a lot of soil has been washed away (by a lot of rain) which has created large holes and furrows. The upper part is quite funny, but that's it. Lots of roots combined with rocks, technically everything is doable but there is no flow. According to local riders, the trail was much better in previous years.

Changing from the lower to the upper track, or getting on or off.

I can warmly recommend the route from the mountain station to the Prenn middle station. Mostly downhill, sometimes briefly uphill in the middle of alpine pastures, occasionally shady trees and always the most beautiful view of the surrounding mountains.

Something special for less fit bikers is the ascent with the Hirzer gondola lift. Taking the bike with you costs extra. You will be rewarded with a great view at the middle station and can fortify yourself for the descent in a super panoramic restaurant

Very demanding trail that requires a high level of technical skiing skills downhill and uphill is practically impossible to ride. A good fully MTB with a lot of suspension travel and excellent bike control are imperative. Since hikers are often out and about here, consideration and full control are required. Falls can lead to serious injuries due to the jagged stones. But when you have everything under control, the trail is a lot of fun.

From Saltaus by bike (also e-bike) great ascent (900 meters in altitude) and even more beautiful descent via Verdins and Schenna to Merano.
