Lenzeben alla rovescia da Merano

Very challenging route, both for the very steep ascent and the very technical descent, but with beautiful views of Merano and its surroundings.

By e-bike it is fully pedaled, by regular bike some pushing depending on ability. From the center of Merano, go up immediately to St. Georgen and then to Taser, turn off onto the forest trail that climbs steeply until you reach the path down from Lanzeben.

You ascend on the very steep trail, which is usually done backwards. With frequent breaks, given the maximum gradient at 26%, you manage to pedal to the top (having strength and technique). Then 20 minutes of shoulder biking to the Egger viewpoint. From here descend to Lenzeben, then to the Ivigna hut, very nice with refreshments. Now begins a very challenging but very fun technical trail, then more steep but faster trails almost to Merano.
