MTB IN THE PALE DI SAN MARTINO
MTB in the Pale di San Martino – rock and roll!
During this trip – MTB in the Pale di San Martino – we will ride in a moon-like environment, without trees or grass, only stones and bare rocks, far away from everything. Dino Buzzati got ideas from the plateau of Pale di San Martino as the location of his best seller book: “The Tartar Steppe”.
If you are a good mountain biker this is a once in lifetime trip. If you are not so good, this trip is a good reason to train!

MTB in the Pale di San Martino tour in one day
The trip is long and hard, we will reach the moon-like plateau using a cable-car; it’s necessary some hours to descent to the valley.
Every time I’m on the plateau I have to take a hard choice: should I stop and take pictures or just live the moment? Fortunately it’s possible to choose to stop to look at the unique landscape of Dolomites.
A bike-shuttle permits to have a relaxing closure of the trip.
LEVEL: OO Challenging
MTB in the Pale di San Martino tour in two days
The trip is long and hard, a cable-car is required to reach the moon-like plateau, and some hours to descent it. Why don’t we take a long stop along the way? A comfortable bed in a mountain hut, at sunset and sunrise the enrsosadira paints the mountains with shadows of pink, a restoring night; the second day we continue to ride.
LEVEL: OO Challenging
MTB in the Pale di San Martino by fair means
A fear ascent by fair means. The challenge is open, but only a few dare to accept. Relax and velocity are in the background, sweat, dust and legs are in the foreground.
Up and down from the same trail, a far away mountain hut to restore, in the middle there are only stones and bare rocks.
Do you accept this hard challenge?
LEVEL: OO Only the brave
