The Hotel Maria is a perfect mountain bike hotel!

The Dolomites around the Hotel Maria are ideal for all kinds of mountain bike tours come out from easy to very demanding. As a member of Mountainbike Hotels, with the highest 5 cog standard, the Maria is the ideal base for bikers after a challenge.

Christoph Kofler, who runs the hotel, leads many of the mountain bike tours on offer during the week. If he is not leading the tour, then a guide from the Bike Academy will take his place. He is a trained mountain bike guide, ready with good tips, and knows many dream tours in his home neighbourhood. Christoph and his wife Beatrix run the Hotel Maria. He doesn’t only run the hotel, but is also a keen mountaineer and racing biker. All tours are put together with Krauti’s Mountainbike-Academy.

The mountain bike area in the King Laurin Kingdom
The Rosengarten-Latemar region in the Dolomites stretches from Schlern to Bozen and onto Karerpass and Latemar, and the Schwarz- and Weishorn in the south. The valleys of the Tieser and Eggen run through the high plateau beneath the Rosengarten. It is a fantastic biking area for beginners, families, and extreme bikers.
There are great trails above 1000 m available to bikers, right into the provincial capital Bozen. These are accessible on the mountainside via Steinegg and the Eggental valley.
We recommend the Latemar- or the Laugen-circuit as lovely day tours. There are a variety of tours leading past the Weishorn and the Blätterbach gorge to Deutschnofen.
And one thing is certain for bikers: fabulous views of the beautiful Dolomite towers and the heart of the South Tyrol. The Rosengarten-Latemar region lies in the Trudner Horn National Park and the Schlern-Rosengarten Nature Park in South Tyrol.

The best way of getting here is on the Brenner motorway, turning off shortly before Bozen in the direction of Welschnofen/Karerpass. Obereggen is at an altitude of 1550 m. The little village at the foot of the Latemar is ideal as a base for mountain bike tours to get to know the area.

In addition to the hiking paths, but there are exciting and sometimes very demanding trails hidden in the woods. The tours to the passes can therefore, depending on the route, be quite challenging. Limestone features typical of the Dolomites shape the landscape, and at dusk the rocks are a bright white. The Rosengarten is well known from many pictures, and it’s glowing red play of colours in the autumn is to be seen as a motif on many postcards.
