Course: Naturno (554 m) – Castelbello(600 m) – S. Martino al Monte (1.740 m) – "Monte Sole Trail" -Plateau “Annabergböden” (1.060 m) – Coldrano (700 m) – Laces (639 m) – Naturno

From the town center of Naturno, we take Via Stazione / Bahnhofstraße which leads us to a bridge, the starting point of the cycle path on the Lungoadige / Etschdamm. We turn right and take the cycle path towards Stava, Ciardes and finally Castelbello, `where` we cross the main street and start the climb to "Montetrumes" and "San Martino al Monte" (signposted). After a mid-steep but long climb we reach one of the highest permanent inhabitated villages in italy, San Martino al Monte. From here we will have a breathtaking view on the surrounding mountains. For the downhill we follow the signed "Montesole trail". The technically demanding trail leads us to the plateau of "Annaberg" `from` where we gonna have a beautiful view into the Val Venosta and down to Merano. At the end of the trail we arrive in Coldrano- Tiss, `where` we retake the cycle path to get back to Naturno.
