Mountain biking in the Dolomites

The Dolomites, famed throughout the world as a walking area, also lend themselves exceptionally well to biking. Numerous mountain bike trails, packed with variety and signposted according to level of difficulty, offer the ambitious amateur equally as many prospects as the high-speed downhill racer.

A fantastic tour through the unique countryside of the Dolomites leads you through exceptional trails in the neighbouring National Park of Fanes-Sennes-Prags. Mountain bikers set off directly from the Almhotel Lenz towards this breathtaking world of jagged rock, Alpine pastures and idyllic nature; the views at the end will prove to be more than reward for your efforts.
You will find over 500km of biking trails to choose from around Olang. More information can be found at sportrent.it



Biking in the Pustertal valley
One supreme highlight for biking fans in the Dolomites has to be the Pustertal bike path: 105 kilometres of cycling fun from Mühlbach at the start of the Pustertal to Lienz in East Tyrol. The best news is that the path goes right through Olang, your holiday village on the Kronplatz. As there are no particularly steep gradients to tackle, The Pustertal cycle path is exceptionally well-suited to family trips
It goes without saying that there are countless stop-off points and picnic sites along the trail. 



Tauferer Ahrntal cycle path
The cycle path from Bruneck to Tauferer Ahrntal and towards Sand Taufers, very easy in nature, is effectively a training route for challenging bike tours.
The path is well signposted from start to finish and runs over level ground. The 17.5 km tour begins in Bruneck and runs partly through tarmac roads, partly through peaceful field trails towards Sand in Taufers. It can be completed in around an hour. 



Walking holiday in the Dolomites, at the Almhotel Lenz
The Dolomites are a paradise for walkers! Peaks, lakes, woods and alms paint a unique landscape that does wonders for the soul! Feel the peace: The nature around the holiday region of the Kronplatz should really be discovered with a pair of walking shoes. The National Parks of Fanes-Sennes-Prags, Puez-Geilser and Rieserferner-Ahrn overwhelm with their unforgettable impressions. Listen to the sound of lapping waves on the banks of Lake Antholz, to the honking of the geese when a wild animal crosses their path. Your destination is the cosy Alm where a warm welcome awaits and where, on the sunny slopes around the ancient hut, you can let your gaze sweep over the panorama that is the Dolomites.  



South Tyrol, Showcase of culture
The landscape of South Tyrol has been cultivated and shaped by its people for millennia. The area was settled as far back as the Stone Age: Ötzi, the famous ice-man (South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology, Bozen) is testimony to these times. In the centuries following, South Tyrol and the Pustertal valley were been home to many diverse cultures whose traces can still be found to this day. Bruneck castle on the motte of Bruneck, the Roman milestones of St. Lorenz in the holiday region of the Kronplatz or the “Villes”, ancient settlements in the Dolomites bear living witness to these bygone days. Wander through the history and legend in the heart of, and encompassed by, the multiplicity of the Dolomites.
