• E-Bike Tour „The longest one”

1. E-Bike Tour „The easiest one”
The Val Gardena circuit links the three main villages of the valley, Ortisei, S. Cristina and Selva di Val Gardena. A varied tour, also ideal for beginners. From Ortisei you take the cycle path to S. Cristina and from there to Selva di Val Gardena and Vallunga, until you reach Langental, a horseshoe-shaped valley leading to the Puez mountain group. Here we recommend a short break to enjoy the magnificent panorama. The return journey takes you along the Luis Trenker Promenade, the route of the railway which served Val Gardena until 1960, to reach the ADLER Spa Resort DOLOMITI hotel in the centre of Ortisei.

2. E-Bike Tour „The local one”
This circuit leads to the St. Jocob’s church, the oldest church in Val Gardena and therefore a point of attraction for many visitors. From the ADLER Outdoorpoint we cycle along the Luis Trenker promenade in the direction of Soplajes, a suburb of S. Cristina, and follow the signs to the St. Jacob’s church. Once we reach the church, we recommend taking a break to enjoy the spectacular view. We then continue towards Plesdinaz/Praplan, passing several farms. We follow the signs for S. Cristina and return along the Luis Trenker promenade until we reach the ADLER Spa Resort DOLOMITI.

3. E-Bike Tour „The challenging one”
Here we come to the most demanding route. We set off from the ADLER Spa Resort DOLOMITI along the forest, taking the path 15 A and then path 3 and 3 A to reach the Alpe di Siusi. On the way we pass Bulla, which offers fantastic panoramic views of Ortisei. Once on the Alpe di Siusi, we pass the ADLER Lodge ALPE and reach the mountain station of the Alpe di Siusi cable car.

4. E-Bike Tour „The panoramic one”
As the name suggests, this circuit offers the best views of the Dolomites. From Ortisei we cycle to S. Cristina and then along a winding road to the Monte Pana plateau. From there we follow the signs for Saltria. We pass the foot of the massive Sassolungo mountain group and enjoy the magnificent panorama. Once on the Alpe di Siusi, we cycle in the direction of Monte Piz until reaching the ADLER Lodge ALPE and from there we continue uphill for a short distance to the Alpe di Siusi mountain station. From here we take the cable car down to Ortisei arriving to the ADLER Spa Resort DOLOMITI.

5. E-Bike Tour „The longest one”
From the mountain station of the Alpe di Siusi cable car, which already offers a fantastic view, we take a gravel path passing the ADLER Lodge ALPE and the Hotel Ritsch to Compatsch. Here we can stop at St. Francis Church and let ourselves be enchanted by the green meadows and sunlit peaks. From Compatsch we cross the entire Seiser Alm to the Mahlknecht Hut and return to our starting point via the Tirler Alm and Saltria.
