Mountain bike holiday in Olang - Kronplatz

If you’d like to try your hand at the region’s trails, the modern Olang 1+2 cable car will take you to the sun-drenched summit of Kronplatz in under 15 minutes. Up here, in the Bike Area Kronplatz, no fewer than six singletrack trails begin – such as the Gassl Trail. As the longest and most beginner-friendly trail at Kronplatz, this flowing nature trail stretches 6.3 km with 883 Tm, winding its way down the eastern slope with countless bends. And after that? The next South Tyrolean gem awaits: the Dragon Trail.

This exciting 2 km-long Dolomite singletrack is perfect for beginners and adventure seekers – slaying dragons made easy. From the summit of Kronplatz at 2,275 m, the MTB trail winds its way along the gently sloping hillside through lush green meadows down to the OLANG 1+2 midway station. Let yourself be surprised by features such as the Dragon’s Head, the floating bridge and the spectacular Dolomite panorama – riding fun and wonder for the whole family are guaranteed here.

N-S-E-W: After a quick orientation, you’ll find yourself exploring in every direction on your cycling holiday in Olang. This picturesque Alpine village lies completely away from the hustle and bustle in the foothills of the Dolomites – and right in the heart of the Fanes-Sennes-Prags and Rieserferner-Ahrn Nature Parks. With a population of 3,163 and an altitude of around 1,050 m, the village proves to be the ideal home base for ambitious leisure cyclists seeking trails rather than downhill riding, and enjoyment rather than adrenaline. From here, you can explore the idyllic side valleys – such as the Pragser Valley, the Gsieser Valley or the Antholz Valley – at a leisurely pace on your bike.

And from the Olang valley basin, you can set off in no time at all on epic tours and alpine trails in the Dolomites – or on leisurely alpine pasture tours at an ideal altitude of between 1,080 and 1,900 metres. Via the Puster Valley cycle route, you also have direct access to the vast network of cycle paths linking East Tyrol, South Tyrol and Trentino. There are simply no limits to your thirst for discovery on a mountain bike holiday in Olang.

360° Alps, Alpine-Mediterranean lifestyle, South Tyrolean authenticity and gentle seclusion: this is the unbeatable combination of Olang.
