Central Guides Top 5 Tours
Every mountain bike region has special places and awe-inspiring rides. E.g. the breath-taking tour through the Uina gorge or the "Panzersperren" (some kind of tank traps) at 2000 m a.s.l. and the "Fotofelsen" (a hanging lump of rock) with stunning views over the Reschensee (Lake Reschen) to the peaks of the Ortler National Park.
But: Are these MTB routes the favourites of the locals as well?
