7. MTB TOUR DEMUTHTRAIL

Start in Sesto/Moso from the Bike Hotel Alpenblick ****s towards the main village of Sesto to the parish church and from here take the panoramic road to Mezzomonte (1,600 km). Turn left towards Rifugio Larice (1,800) and continue to the Monte Elmo mountain station (2,040). From here, continue to the Rifugio Gallo Cedrone hut (2,150) and then along a wide, easy cycle path to the Rifugio Sillianer hut at 2,450 metres. From here, the path continues steeply uphill with 50 m difference in altitude, follow the “Stoneman” signs to Monte Arnese (2,500), either cycle or walk around this to the left. From here you can enjoy sweeping views of the Tre Cime di Lavaredo and the Sesto Dolomites and also towards the Großglockner to the north. The entire Demuth passage (2,550) up to Passo Silvella (2,400) is about 7 km long and technically very difficult with narrow S2/S3/S4 trails and several points where it is necessary to carry or push your bicycle according to the different technical conditions. The countryside is fantastic and makes for an absolute biking experience. Once at the Passo Silvella, continue along a trail towards the Malga Alpe Nemes hut (1,877). Initially follow the trail along forest path no. 13 towards Moso, then turn left after 2 km and go over a wooden boardwalk on hiking trail 131 towards Passo di Monte Croce di Comélico. At the Alpe di Nemes/Malga Coltrondo crossroads, turn right into hiking trail no. 130 towards “Schwarzsee”. Turn left towards the campsite, the trail from here is again a cool, partially challenging trail with lots of roots passing the campsite to the valley station of the “Tre Cime di Lavaredo cable car” and the “Pollaio Hut”. Turn right at the “Pollaio Hut” and the Sesto circular path takes you back to Sesto/Moso to the Bike Hotel Alpenblick ****s.
