002 Trailtour at Monte Tramontana

Course: With the bike shuttle to the Kreuzbrünnl car park - uphill Malga Naturno to the crossroads for the descent Brand trail - "Brandhof" farm - Plon - Platzgumm - Ötzi trail - Naturno

This is the most recent route on Monte Tramontana. The trail (Brandtrail) takes its name from the Brandhof farm, which has its own cheese dairy where you can taste local products. What more do you want? In order to enjoy these flow trail routes, we take advantage of the bike shuttle that takes us to the Kreuzbrünnl parking area. From there we follow the signs uphill towards "Malga di Naturno" along a forest road. After approximately 1.5 kilometers we reach a junction at 1,690 meters above sea level. We turn left on the forest road and after a few hairpin bends we reach the start of the trail. We ride on forest soil through the woods of Monte Tramontana, where we also face passages as narrow as our handlebars. The track is fun and ends directly at the  "Brandhof" farm. We stop by for a taste of the locally produced cheeses and traditional delicacies. Thus, Brandhof is a perfect stop along our route before we embark on the next trail. Behind the farm, the steep paved road leads us to a turn, from where we continue to climb to the left. For a short stretch continue on the asphalt road leading to Malga di Naturno, then we follow the signs towards the "Platzgumm" farm. Just before Platzgumm, a sign indicates the access to the Ötzi trail (S3). We ride along the path and at 1,230 meters above sea level we enter the trail. For some sections, good technical ability is needed, overall however, the downhill is pleasant. In Cirlano we leave the Ötzi trail and, following the path through the fields and return to Naturno.
