Equipment
Course: With the bike shuttle to Montefranco – uphill Marzoner Alm – Bike Highline Merano – Fontana trail
We take the bike shuttle to the small mountain village Montefranco. There we start riding towards the "Marzoner Alm" hut, one of the lowest alpine pastures in Southtyrol. Alternatively, we can also ride the steep road from Castelbello to the "Marzoner Alm" hut ourselves (1070m elevetion gain). From the "Marzoner Alm" we take the Bike Highline Merano and follow the trails to reach the start of the "Lupotrail" (No. 4). On the "Lupotrail", we cross the forest road two times before getting to an asphalt street, where we leave the trail. We proceed on the asphalt street until the next hairpin bend, where we take trail no. 9 (Fontanatrail), which brings us to the "Niedermair" farm. By following the technically demanding "Fontanatrail", which is characterized by lots of rocky and blocked but also flowy sections, we reach the bottom of the valley at Ciardes. There we take the cycle path to return to Naturno.
