Kuhleiten

Very challenging and tiring route, designed to be able to get to Merano 2000 without asphalt. In order to be able to do it, you have to walk some very steep trails that are normally done downhill. It is therefore designed to be done by e-mtb, those who want to do it by regular mtb will have to push the bike a lot.

From Merano go up on path 2 to Greiter. From here it is still a very steep climb to the little church of Santa Caterina. Then take the forest road to the Maia hut and then on the European path to the Merano hut.

From here last steep climb to the Kuhleiten hut, with magnificent views of the Dolomites and surrounding mountains.

You descend on trail 19, which is very challenging and bumpy at first, but soon after was recently redone, and descend on smooth terrain in beautiful surroundings to the Steriwalder hut (refreshment).

From here take the path to Taser (possibly not in high season because it is very busy, alternatively descend on the forest road) and then the path to Verdines and Scena.
