The MTB Transalp route me and my 2 friends did in August 2023. Contains hard uphills, nice downhills, great views, and some hiking. We used lifts 3 times (Bormio 3000, Madonna di Campiglio - Groste, Andalo - Paganella). We used full-suspension enduro bikes (160mm of travel), and they were quite useful during this trip. We had all our stuff in 30l backpacks.
Difficulty
Extreme
Very steep, difficult, narrow singletrack with widely variable and unpredictable trail conditions. Unavoidable obstacles could be 15in/38cm tall or greater, and unavoidable obstacles with serious consequences are likely to be present. Obstacles could include big rocks, difficult root sections, drops, jumps, sharp switchbacks, and more. Ideal for expert-level riders.
