This challenging tour leads from Antholz Valley across the Staller Saddle to St. Jakob in Defereggen, surrounded by spectacular alpine scenery.

This challenging route starts in Rasen and first leads into the Antholzertal valley. The cycle path leads to Antholz Mittertal, after which you cycle the last stretch to Lake Antholz on the road. From there, the steep ascent to the Staller Sattel border crossing to Austria begins (Important! Temporary one-way traffic regulation with traffic light: from South Tyrol to Austria every hour from the 30th to the 45th minute; from Austria to South Tyrol every hour from the full hour to the 15th minute). There are huts on both sides of the mountain pass where you can take a short break and enjoy the breathtaking panorama. On the Austrian side, the route then descends again through the Defereggen Valley through the rugged mountain landscape to our destination, the village of St. Jakob.
