Itinerary
First day – Arriving at Nauders
You'll receive all travel documents about 14 days before departure. They contain the exact hotel address and further information. Please arrive by about 6:00 p.m. You'll meet your group and the guide. After discussing the tour, the group will go to dinner together.
Second day – From Nauders to Nauders – 40 km, 1200 m elevation gain
We make an impressive loop for this royal stage. The Uina Gorge - downhill - is our destination. First a bike shuttle to Schlinig. A steep climb up to the Sesvenna hut and after a lunch break we experience the impressive Uina Gorge. We won't forget this day too quickly. Overnight stay once again in the 4-star wellness hotel in Nauders.
Third day – From Nauders to Vinschgau – 77 km, 1450 m elevation gain
Vinschgau trail highlights are on the agenda today. But first we climb the main ridge of the Alps. The natural paths to Plamort are in a class of their own, the view of the Ortler and Lake Reschen legendary. Then we continue to Vinschgau with narrow paths and built trails. Of course we drive "Holy Hansen" and other things. The knighthood for every Trailfan.
Fourth day – From Vinschgau to Nals – 55 km, 850 m elevation gain
A cable car will assist us to aschbach high above Merano. We'll take a capital pasta break with a panoramic view. Fast descent to Lana, then we'll continue at a comfortable pace to our hotel. It features a panoramic pool and is situated in the middle of the Nals vineyards.
Fifth day – From Nals to Coredo – 61 km, 1200 m elevation gain
From the wine village of Girlan, an ascent over the art trail leads on to the emerald Montiggler Lakes. Over trails and narrow paths, we'll ride through vineyards to Kaltern and then up to the Mendel Pass. Then a sensational descent over wonderful trails to the monastery S. Romedio and its brown bears. A nice hotel awaits us in Coredo.
Sixth day – From Coredo to Fai della Paganella – 52 km, 1780 m elevation gain
On lonely cart tracks, we’ll ride steeply uphill. We'll be rewarded with a glorious view down into the wild Brenta Dolomites. With its vineyards and apple orchards, the Valle di Non has all sorts of treats requiring technical riding in store for us. In the evening, we'll relax in the hotel overlooking the Paganella mountain.
Seventh day – From Fai della Paganella to Riva / Torbole – 60 km, 1150 m elevation gain
We can still amp it up one more notch. The summits of the Paganella and the Monte Gazza want to be conquered today. We will be rewarded with an awe-inspiring descent down to Lake Garda. Farewell dinner.
Eighth day – Departure
After breakfast, the bikes are loaded onto the bus. Return trip by bus back to Nauders. Upon arrival, everyone travels home individually.
My tip for Transalp Uina
„The Uina Gorge is one of the most spectacular things the Alps have to offer for mountain bikers. Seeing it is a fantastic experience. Also the view from the Plamort plain of the 3000 meter peaks of the Ortler Range is exhilarating. What I especially like about the Transalp Uina is the great mix of trails and unforgettable landscapes. The descent down to Lake Garda is pretty outrageous: 2000 meters elevation, all of it downhill!“
