Latemar MTB Tour

The route was done by e-bike, with wonderful scenery...a few interruptions due to roadworks. Overall, it was pleasant. The final descent was quite challenging; I recommend considering taking the chairlift.

The classic bike tour around the imposing Latemar massif. A wonderful dream tour 🤩 in the best weather 🌞 The very steep ascent from Val di Fiemme to Passo Feudo is about 1150 meters in altitude. My wife took the cable car to do this. I climbed the first section with the bike at 7-11 km/h, it was very steep. I then took the train for the upper section, fortunately, the road up seemed incredibly steep and would hardly have been feasible even with Bosch's help. The Hm are clearly too deep, that was certainly 200 hm more. A wonderful tour 🤩🌞😀, certainly the largest and most beautiful of our stay here in Eggental.

The starting point was the Obereggen car park. At the beginning we are the paved toboggan run to the Alm Epircher Laner and then further over the Zischgalm to the Passo Feudo. From there the ski slope goes down to Baita Gardoné. The descent is technically not difficult but very steep. From the Baita Gardoné down to Predazzo it is also quite steep at first. From Predazzo you follow the cycle path into the valley to Moena and from the village center in the direction of Soraga (cycle route marked). Then via the Malga Roncac (above Moena) via a steep forest path to the Karerpass. From there on a wonderful, almost flat forest path to Karersee and back to Obereggen.

A loop around the Latemar massif, starting from Moena. A climb on a forest road with an average gradient of 8-10% through woods and pine forests to the Carezza Pass. A short descent to the lake of the same name: a natural wonder with its beautiful colors, dominated by the imposing Dolomites. From Lake Carezza to Obereggen, the route is almost entirely at an altitude of 1,500 meters, through cool pine forests. From Obereggen to the Feudo refuge, we had to tackle some challenging climbs, as part of our route ran directly on the ski slopes. The view of the valleys, however, was worth the sacrifice. Lunch at the refuge, which, strangely enough, also happens to be an excellent pizzeria. The descent to Predazzo along the ski slopes proved challenging. Despite some concrete sections, the gradients reached up to 35%, putting a strain on our brakes. In just a few kilometers, we went from 2,200 meters to 1,100 meters. Definitely impossible to do the climb back up. Overall, a very beautiful ride.

Departure from Predazzo with the Latemar 2200 lifts you reach Passo Feudo. I recommend following the track. The trail signs are not always clear.

Wonderful tour around the Latemar massif. We chose to do the tour clockwise, which is better for a muscle bike. The route begins with a slightly downhill cycle path that reaches Predazzo. Here you take the cable car that arrives at the Gardonè refuge and then the chairlift to the Feudo pass, all with an electric bike and a muscle bike. Then the route continues on asphalt roads at high altitude, and dirt roads, some a little stony. Compared to the classic tour around the Latemar we deviated by going down to Pampeago and going back up. We then arrive at the Carezza pass and the lake of the same name. We then go down towards Moena on a steep but easy road.

Tour doable for everyone, be careful on the descent from Passo Feudo to Gardone, a descent where the brakes and discs smell of burning🫣

We were inspired by Diego Hike and Bike Hotel. We've gotten a little lost, but that's part of it... THANK YOU Diego, it was great!🙂👋
