Mountainbike tour to the Leadneralm, Vöraneralm and Wurzeralm mountain huts

On this mountain bike round tour we pass and discover three mountain huts in the surroundings of Avelengo.

We start our tour at the parking space under the parish church in the centre of Avelengo. From here, we follow trail no. 16 (Hinterdorfweg) towards the Leadneralm. Soon the asphalted road turns into a very well maintained forest road with some short steeper but still easy sections.

After about 40 minutes we reach the Leadneralm mountain hut at 1,520 metres asl and have a nice cup of coffee. Afterwards, we continue our mountain bike tour on a forest road towards the Vöraneralm at 1,900 metres asl, where we arrive after about half an hour.
From here, we cycle down to the Wurzeralm mountain hut. After the first bend we branch off right into trail no. 2. On this rather stony and rooty section through the forest we can either cycle carefully or chose to carry our bikes. Either way, we soon reach another easy-to-cycle forest road.

Passing the Wurzeralm mountain hut, we cycle back down to Avelengo on trail no. 2A.
