Giro dei rifugi di Merano 2000 (antiorario)

Very challenging tour, especially for the difference in altitude and the gradient of the climbs, but also very enjoyable and scenic.

Starting from Avelengo you naturally reduce the elevation gain and climb first to the Maia hut, then to the Oettenbacheralm with beautiful views of the Dolomites. From here you climb with rather hard ramps to the Mittager hut, then with a nice trail to the Valcanova Kesselberg hut.

You descend on a nice ridge and climb hard to the Kuhleiten hut with beautiful views.

From here endless descent from more than 2000 meters to Merano, via Waidmann Alm, Piffinger and Zuegg hut, then Falzeben, St. Catherine's church and down to Merano.

The tour is designed to be all rideable by ebike and with few technical passages, those who want can of course add various trails, especially on the last descent to Merano.
