Circular Mountain Bike Ride
Plamort Loop

In Nauders, the route first follows the Doktor-Tschiggfrey-Straße in a northerly direction onto Karl-Blaas-Gasse and then turns right before the parish church of St. Valentin. At the junction Schweinhag/Pazöhlgasse the ride follows route 7038 on a forest path in a south-easterly direction. After about 1.7 kilometres, turn right and cycle slightly uphill into the Brandwald forest until the forest road merges into a forest path after 900 metres. Now keep right and follow route 7038 further into the Piengtal Valley. In front of the Hotel Jochelius, cross the Piengbach stream and cycle back towards the start of the valley on the other side of the stream. Now the trail continues in several hairpins below the Lärchenhanglift and the top of the Bergkastel cable car station through the Kastelwald forest 6.1 kilometres up to the Stieralm at 2,040 metres above sea level. There the Plamort Trail begins, which leads further south, past the Kompatschwald reservoir and finally over the Italian border to the Plamort plateau. At the high moor, follow route 7038 again towards Clopai and Arlundo at Rescensee lake. In Arlundo turn right onto the Vinschgauer Straße and after 1.3 kilometres at Reschen, change to the Vinschgauer Radweg cycle path via the underpass. Parallel to the main road, the route now passes Reschen and crosses the Austrian border back to Nauders. On the way back, you will pass the bottom station of the Bergkastelbahn cable car with the refreshment point in Arsang and an e-bike charging station.
