Details
Description
Downhill-oriented mountain bike route with snappy singletrails on the core section of route 32 Trans-Altarezia Bike. Thanks to the shuttle possibility to the Umbrail Pass, you can save the climb with about 1000 meters of elevation on the Umbrail Pass road and fully enjoy the long descents on the singletrails.
From the Umbrail Pass (2501 m above sea level), you reach the Bocchetta di Forcula at 2768 m above sea level on a well-ridable singletrail where you can admire old military facilities from the First World War. After a short downhill, the climb to Bocchetta di Pedenolo (2704 m above sea level) is worthwhile, to then tackle the descent to Lago di Cancano on the flowing singletrail. Along the lakes Lago di Cancano and Lago di San Giacomo di Fraéle, you ride on a wide gravel road amidst the alpine landscape to Passo di Fraéle and then reach Passo Val Mora (1934 m above sea level), the gateway to Switzerland.
Up to Palüetta (2009 m above sea level), you ride on a well-ridable singletrail and then continue on a forest road that leads through the picturesque Val Mora up to Döss Radond at 2234 m above sea level. The scenic beauty of Val Mora makes this long but not steep ascent a pleasure.
From Döss Radond, several exciting and secret singletrails run right next to the forest road back to Sta. Maria.
Alternatively, the route can be tackled as a circular route starting from Sta. Maria by very fit bikers.
