Flow, flow, flow!

This flowing adventure begins where the cable car brings mountain bikers up from Nova Levante directly to the Catinaccio massif, part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Dolomites: once arrived at the Frommer Alm, bikers can then follow the 4.4-km trail along a mountain stream, through forests and across meadows. With its bridges, jumps, steep & banked curves and northshores, this trail is an exhilarating experience. And, for more variety, there is a special trail section featuring smaller and larger drops, tables and jumps.

This bike trail adds a flowing freeride descent to the popular Latemar Round and is an absolute must for tour and enduro riders!

On your pedals, get set – BIKE!

But there is plenty more besides! At the top station of the Nova Levante cable car there is a recently-opened training park created by the experts from T&B factory. A thrilling place to improve your bike skills, it features a pump track and jumpline, not to mention switchbacks, a rock garden, drops, curves (banked and un-banked), steps, balance northshores and obstacles for learning how to bunnyhop. A training park that truly puts bikers through their paces!
