Our starting point is the village of Compaccio at 1,840 m a.s.l. (accessible by car until 9 am, afterwards only on foot or with the Alpe di Siusi Cable Car). We take the pass road towards Hotel Panorama - Punta d'Oro - Rifugio Molignon. The first section runs along a paved road. At the Hotel Goldknopf we follow the gravel road no. 7 towards the Molignon hut at 2,054 m a.s.l. After a short downhill section which we follow until the crossroads with Rio Saltria we need to tackle a steep, 200-metre long ascent to the Dialer mountain hut.

Now we are about to face the most difficult section of this tour. The stretch before the Tierser Alpl hut crosses the Valle Duron along a steep piled uphill section which we climb for a few hundred metres. The mountain hut lies at 2,444 m a.s.l., on the right we can admire the Denti di Terrarossa. After a well-deserved break at the hut, the path descends steeply towards the Dialer hut. From here we cycle along path no. 8 which takes us to Saltria at 1,670 m a.s.l. via the Tirler hut. The final stretch runs along the road to Compaccio in the hamlet of Alpe di Siusi which belongs to the municipality of Castelrotto.

This MTB-tour is requires a good fitness level and is therefore suitable only for well-trained mountain bikers. The stunning panoramic views of the Dolomites reward us for our efforts. In the final section before the Alpe di Tires we recommend pushing your bike. The descent requires good braking skills.
