Where the heart of every biker is beating
The biker's heart may feel right at home in the city, but what would biking be without cool trails in the mountains? The local mountain of Brixen is a meeting point for everyone and everything. From the valley station you can take the gondola lift up to 2,000 metres, where the view of the Dolomites is unbeatable and scenic alpine paths lead to huts with delicious food. In 2018 the Brixen Bikepark on Plose opened its lines, the work of the Whistler makers Gravity Logic. City and mountain - Brixen and the Plose offer everything you need for a biking holiday.
