From the town square in Vipiteno to the alpine pastures on the high route - a very varied mountain bike tour, which we classify easy to moderate. We cycle up the Via Frana road and under the viaduct of the motorway to Tunes, and then along the panoramic road to Telves di Sopra. Here we follow the signpost no. 5 (Telfer Almen): at the beginning on an asphalt road through the meadows, then on the forest road through the forest.
The gravel surface is mostly good during our visit, although it is partly washed out. The last short section below the Freundalm is steep and a bit slippery. But we have already reached the first stage destination and enjoy the break on the terrace with view on the surroundings. The forest road then takes us about 200 metres further up to the Kuhalm Hut and the Ridanna High Route, which we follow towards west to the Ochsenalm. Immediately after this third alpine hut, which also offers a stop for refreshments, we turn left onto path no. 6. This is a meadow trail that accompanies us on the upper part of the descent.
Like this we finally arrive at the Freundalm again and follow the way back to Telves di Sopra. Arrived there, we cycle towards Telves and down to Mareta, where we reach the valley floor. Via the road leading to Casateia or via the riverside path along the Mareta Stream (cycle path) we arrive at the industrial estate of Casateia. From there we continue along the cycle path back to Vipiteno.
