Formazon e Ulfas

The Formazon alpine hut is located in a narrow side valley of the Passeiertal valley, tough climb to get there but truly beautiful high mountain environment!

The downhill trail is then very enjoyable, though not easy because it is bumpy. I connected the tour with the Ulfas hut with its beautiful water trail, a route I had not done for many years. To connect the two routes you have to do a small 10-minute push uphill (5 on the ebike).

The result is a challenging but very enjoyable route, 66 km and almost 2000 meters of elevation gain, with the final trail, 3, down to St. Martin in Passeier, steep and bumpy, engaging everything there is to engage: bike suspension, arms, legs, experience and head!

Departure from Merano train station, free parking; if you want to go a few miles less, you can start from San Martino in Passiria, although the elevation gain decreases a little.

The route was done by ebike, with which you can also follow part of the steep trail uphill, if you do it by regular bike just follow the hairpin bends of the asphalt road.
