Cycling season in the Reschensee holiday region
More trails, more flow, more action
There are plenty of options for you on two wheels in the Schöneben-Haideralm cycling and hiking area. Whether you’re a keen beginner or an experienced trail rider: Around the shores of Reschensee and Haidersee, you decide for yourself how your day’s cycling unfolds. One moment you’re cruising along at a leisurely pace with a view of the lake; the next, you’re climbing a fair bit in altitude, only to come cruising down again. And somewhere in between, your new favourite route in the Reschensee holiday region might already be waiting for you.
This cycling paradise in South Tyrol has everything you need for mountain biking, e-biking or enduro biking. For a leisurely walk, head towards the Haideralm or the Grauner Alm. There’s a greater challenge to be found on classic routes such as the Plamort circuit. Not only does it give you a proper workout, but it also takes you past the historic tank barriers from the interwar period. That really just leaves the question of which route to tackle first.
