Experienced mountain bikers can look forward to real trail enjoyment: the tour through the alpine huts around Meransen impresses with challenging climbs and rapid descents.

Tips for your bike excursion
To make your bike tour a pleasure, you need more than just a good bike. Here you will find our best tips - for beginners and advanced riders alike - to make your bike experience in and around Brixen/Bressanone as stylish and relaxing as your stay at fink.
The right equipment
Breathable clothing, a suitable helmet and possibly a bikepacking set-up ensure comfort and safety. High-quality equipment also makes all the difference on the high-altitude trails of the Dolomites.
Don’t forget your tools
A small pump, spare inner tube and multi-tool belong in every bike pack. If you are prepared, you will remain calm even in the event of a breakdown.
Bike check before the tour
Check the air pressure, oil the chain, adjust the saddle correctly - a well-maintained bike is not only better to ride, but also safer. The brakes and handlebars should also be checked before every tour.
Food is a must
Energy is quickly depleted at altitude - that’s why water, electrolytes and a snack should always be in your rucksack. An enjoyable picnic with South Tyrolean specialties is perfect for a short bike break.
The right bike for the right route
A mountain bike is recommended for challenging trails, while an e-bike is ideal for longer tours with little elevation gain. If you’re not sure: There are top rental shops in Brixen with individual advice.
Realistically assess your fitness level
Not every route is suitable for every rider. It’s better to start with an easier tour - and recharge your batteries in the evening with a good meal at fink.
