Guided Bike Tours

Pure nature, beautiful views and cool trails - three things that make a biking tour exceptional. Together with the Plose Bike School we experience the most beautiful places in South Tyrol on a mountain bike.

What awaits you? We explore the unique mountain scenery of the UNESCO World Heritage Dolomites on the eMountainbike in Villnöß, get a lot of depth meters on the Sellaronda MTB Tour and improve our riding technique on the Plose! We pedal around the Feldthurns mountain pasture and to the Stoanamandl peak and explore the best freeride trails around Brixen and its surroundings. You can experience some of the most magnificent attractions in South Tyrol on two wheels with guides from the Plose Bike school. Definitely not to miss is the great food at the mountain huts around Brixen. All this, plus a big smile on your face, awaits you on our guided bike tours!

The Mountain Pasture Tour of Feldthurns is ideal for all those who would like to master meters in height on their own, rewarding oneself with a ride on a varied downhill trail. For this tour, you should bring a good basic fitness, as there are no steep ascents, but it is still continuously ascending. We start our tour above Feldthurns at approximately 1150 m and ride the forest roads to the Klausner Hütte mountain hut for a little refreshment.

On a steadily ascending forest road we make most of the altitude metres and treat ourselves in a rustic alpine hut. After another short, easy ascent, we reach the summit of the Stoanamandl, where a 360° panoramic view awaits us.
