The ascentPhoto: Nassfeld - Pressegger See, Nassfeld - Pressegger See
From the Erlebnis-Naturbad Vorderberg, go steadily uphill past the Koutschitzalm to the Dolinzaalm. Immediately after the Dolinzaalm, cross the border into Italy and descend towards Ugovizza. At an altitude of about 1,100 meters, turn right towards Rifugio Gortani, then ascend to Malga Priu. The beautifully situated rustic alpine hut is ideal for a stop. From here, ride a short distance back, then climb about 230 meters elevation to the highest point of the day. Next follows the long descent to Malborghetto. On the Ciclovia cycle path, continue east towards Ugovizza, where the ascent back to Dolinzaalm begins. From the Dolinzaalm, take the well-known path back to the starting point. Especially the steep ascent to Dolinzaalm becomes pure pleasure with the e-MTB.
HIGHLIGHT: just above Malborghetto at KM 28, you will find a small park inviting you to a long rest.
