CYCLING AROUND THE DOLOMITE VALLEY

A great alternative to hikes is tours with the mountain bike or e-bike around our valley. The quiet roads in the valley and the forests in the Lüsental Valley offer perfect conditions for carefree bike tours. The e-bike makes it possible to discover a rather big area without getting too exhausted and to effortlessly climb steeper roads and paths. With the mountain bike, you can reach remote areas and enjoy the peace there. Of course, we share our three favorite bike tours in the surroundings with you!
