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.

All those who are flirting with this highlight should be aware that around 300hm (hm not m!) Bike wear is included. This also applies to eBikers ...

Schartlkamm Ridge

Highlight • Summit

Even the ascent from the Martell Valley is magnificent in terms of landscape. The view and the descent (in the lower part then over the Holy Hansen) make the tour an absolute highlight for all trail fans who have no problem with carrying the bike uphill.

Holy Hansen Trail

Highlight • Trail

In 2024, the trail was redesigned, and critical sections were either mitigated or bypassed. Now the challenges are gone, but it's still a beautiful trail.

Holy Hansen Trail

Highlight (Segment) • MTB Park

The first pure mountain bike trail in Vinschgau offers pure flow, but also challenging passages. Berms, doubles, small jumps, but also steep sections with drops alternate. An ideal mix of natural trail and bike park feeling.

Holy Hansen Trail (Final Section)

Highlight • MTB Park

This trail is the final part of the famous Holy Hansen, a very long mountain bike or downhill bike trail that repeatedly crosses other wider and easier to descend roads. In this final section, some technical curves go hand in hand with simple and rideable sectors. The trail ends a few hundred meters from the center of Silandro.

Such a beautiful way. Especially when you come back from your tour and can now roll out the last few meters.

September 7, 2023,Trail-Spektakel: Schartlkamm, Holy Hansen, Aigen, Montani

"Schartlkamm-Trail": Heard about it for the first time in spring and everyone raved about it... So: it has to be on the bucket list and was ticked off today. Garnished with Holy Hansen, Aigen and Montani Trail. Hardly any TM were destroyed beyond these trails - and that at almost 2,200 m altitude!!

June 26, 2023,Von Parkplatz Morter durchs Martelltal, über Wanderweg !fast Kletterstieg! über den Schartlkamm, von dort runter zum Anschluss Holy Hansen Trail und zurück nach Morter über den Aigen Trail.

An extremely strenuous tour, the Schartlkamm is definitely not recommended for bikers! The bike has to be carried or pushed.
The driving fun is also only moderate down... the paths are extremely impassable. You can rarely drive 20m normally 🙄.

The Holy Hansen and Aigen Trail is fun 😉

Sooo,

Today things got interesting, and we headed off the beaten track, heading over high-altitude trails to Morter in the side valley and up 1,600 meters in one go to the Schartlkamm ridge. I've always wanted to do that; I've heard bad things about carrying 300 meters of altitude and via ferrata and so on...
