Experience the Sellaronda and other Dolomite classics

On an MTB holiday in Val Gardena, you’re not just cycling in a top-class biking region; on every ride, you’ll experience the impressive backdrop of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Dolomites. At the heart of the region is the legendary Sellaronda MTB tour around the Sella massif. You can start in Wolkenstein, Corvara, Arabba, Canazei or Campitello. By taking the mountain cable car up to three of the four passes, you can complete the iconic circuit in a single day.

But it’s not just athletic cyclists who get their money’s worth when mountain biking in Val Gardena. On a leisurely ride across the Alpe di Siusi, you’ll feel the flow; on the scenic panoramic trails, you’ll enjoy the sweeping views; and on family-friendly routes, you can take it easy with your loved ones. Thanks to the modern cable cars, you can also save yourself a few metres of climbing and start your tour or trail right at the summit. This allows for touring experiences for every ability – always accompanied by the imposing Dolomite peaks of the Langkofel, Sella Group and Seceda.

Trail Arena Val Gardena

If you’re in the mood for flow, airtime and spectacular Dolomite scenery, Val Gardena is the place for you. In the Trail Arena Val Gardena, you’ll ride along built trails, fast flow lines and varied freeride routes. Thanks to the modern mountain lifts, you’ll gain altitude with ease – and focus on what matters most: maximum downhill fun.

On the flow trails at Dantercepies, you’ll carve your way through the Dolomites bend after bend, whilst the Ciampinoi freeride route entices with speed, technical sections and plenty of adrenaline. Beginners can hone their skills at the Skillpark Palmer, families can enjoy the easy trails around Piz Seteur, and experienced riders can link several lines together for a proper trail marathon. E-bikers also get their money’s worth in Val Gardena: numerous charging stations and an excellently developed network of trails open up almost limitless possibilities. And after the ride? Rustic mountain huts, South Tyrolean Schlutzkrapfen and a panorama that still gives you goosebumps even after the last trail await.
