MTB Freeride Ischgl-Bozen: three 3000-metre summits in three days

Between Ischgl und Bozen there is a plethora of the best trails of the Alps. Romantic valleys, such as the Val S-Charl, inspire the mind. In the following days you’ll be stunned by the mightiness of the surrounding 3000-metre summits. In these six days of biking we’ll be riding mainly on high mountain terrain. The downhill trails from the Paso Zebru, the Madritsjoch or the Stilfserjoch are almost considered legendary amongst bikers. We offer you a unique adventure in high mountain terrain – from Piz Umbrail down to Santa Maria! This is the most alpine tour we offer in the high mountains of the northern Alps!! The “Madritschjoch” is our last three-thousander! This highly contrasting landscape and fantastic ambience is full of technically challenging freeride trails – just the way we love it! On the last day we’ll be enjoying the mediterranean climate of the area around Bozen as the final highlight of this sensational biking week. During our journey we will taste the rich traditional cuisine of different Italian valleys and the Engadine.

Intense and holistic biking experiences in the heart of the Alps are waiting for you!

17500 metres of downhill biking with ascents of only 4400 metres.

Days 1-6:

We are purposely not giving away the details of the route of this tour. At the moment, no other guiding company offers this tour, because one has to explore the whole area before beeing able to guide here. We worked really hard to prepare this camp for you. If you are passionate about mountain biking and nature, and have some pioneering spirit, you would simplylove this camp. You will definitively experience tremendous impressions of the unique landscape and trails. You will break new ground in a region you thought you knew already

Day 7:

After a nice and cosy breakfast we will be taken back to the starting point by our shuttle car, followed by a well-deserved closing off-session. From here, everyone departs individually.

This offer is subject to changes, as we have not completed our exploring. New tours and opportunities might come up, which we would then integrate in the tour to optimise this trip for you.

One more thing:
 This tour is challenging when it comes to your riding techniques and physical fitness! You ought to have experience with challenging trails and different kinds of soil – this is a prerequisite! Few parts of this tour are exposed and will be signalled by the guide early on. You need good stamina and a certain drive to ride, push and carry your bike about 1,o00 metres up in one go. We assume that you control your bike safely and use equipment of high quality.
