This tour is certainly one of the highlights in the Alpine region. Considering the altitude and distance combined with the difficulty, a shuttle to the Umbrail Pass is certainly a welcome relief.

On reaching the pass, the fun can begin with a view of the impressive Ortler. This is followed by a single trail up to the Lichtenberger Alm, which never drops below the 2000 metre mark and never wants to end. The alpine trail with an extreme amount of flow is often exposed and difficult passages also occur again and again.


Author’s recommendation

For years, the Goldsee Trail from Dreisprachenspitze to Furkelhütte was closed to bikers and has now been open again since 2012 with a time regulation. This means that biking is permitted before 9 a.m. and after 3 p.m., as otherwise there are too many pedestrians on the trail. Please pay attention to this, also in your own interest - this way the path remains open and within the permitted times you have a free path, as there are no hikers on the way.

Shuttle service to the Umbrail üvia Hotel Stevio in Santa Maria or various shuttle providers in Prad.
