Last Bend Before Marzoner Alm

Highlight • Viewpoint

On the last stretch of the uphill to the Marzoner Alm, the forest clears and you have great views down into the Vinschgau. In combination with the anticipation of a hearty snack on the alpine pasture, it pedaling here as if by itself.

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!

View of Kastelbell Castle

Highlight • Castle

First documented in 1238, Castelbello Castle dominates the Venosta Valley from a rocky outcrop on the left bank of the Adige River. From the cycle path, it is clearly visible above several apple orchards.

Castelbello Castle, first mentioned in 1238 but likely of earlier origin, was built by the Lords of Montalban. The picturesque castle sits majestically on a mighty rocky outcrop on the left bank of the Adige River. The elongated complex measures over 70 meters in length and barely 30 meters in width. Due to its exposed location, Castelbello Castle had to be repeatedly protected over the years by the construction of more modern and stronger fortifications.

After changing hands several times, the castle was transferred to the Hendl family as a pledge in 1531. In 1813 and 1824, the castle was largely destroyed by fire. The Hendl counts rebuilt only a small part for residential purposes, and thus the castle was destined to fall into ruin. At the end of a legal process that dragged on for decades, in which Count Siegmund von Hendl and the Republic of Italy fought for ownership of the castle, a settlement was finally reached: this enabled the state to purchase the castle for 31,068 lire (16.04 €).

Adige River Cycle Path

Highlight • Cycleway

The Etsch cycle path is around 300 kilometers long and a great opportunity to cycle through the Alps without many inclines. Past castles, idyllic towns and cozy wine villages - this path is to enjoy. This section is separated from the traffic and well paved, so perfect for the road bike.

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.

The trail really deserves S3, to be avoided at all costs when it's wet, everything is mobile when the switchback technique is available

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 …

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
