Passionate mountainbikers know that their favourite sport can also be an uphill battle. The Stoneman Trail, a stunning, unforgettable mountain bike tour in the Dolomites, makes mountainbikers' hearts beat faster. The challenging route was realised by pro mountain biker Roland Stauder and can be completed in one, two or three days. We subdivided this route into a 3-stage tour (Marchkinkele, La Muta (Demut) and Roda di Vaèl (Rotwand)) allowing you to enjoy nature to its fullest. The itinerary runs across the Monti del Villgraten (Villgrater Berge) between South and East Tyrol, the Carnic crest, the Sesto Dolomites and other territories in South Tyrol, East Tyrol and Veneto.
This article explains the route of the original Stoneman Trail. Today, other Stoneman-itineraries for cyclists, mountainbikers and long-distance hikers were set up in the Erzgebirge in Germany, at the Breithorn in Switzerland, in the Pongau area in Austria and in the Ardennes in Belgium. Athletes who manage to complete the route within three days and endorse a booklet in all the checkpoints, are listed in the finisher list which comprises the categories gold, silver and bronze. The tourism offices along the route will provide you with more information about the booklet. The Stoneman Trail is always a unique adventure you should definitely not miss, regardless of your performance.
