We start our tour at the parking space under the parish church in the centre of Avelengo. From here, we follow trail n° 16 (Hinterdorfweg) towards the Leadner mountain hut (Leadner Alm). 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 Leadner mountain hut at 1,520 m asl and have a nice cup of coffee. Afterwards, we continue our mountain bike tour on a forest road towards the Verano mountain hut (Vöraner Alm) at 1,900 m asl, where we arrive after about half an hour.
From here, we cycle down to the Wurzer mountain hut (Wurzer Alm). After the first bend we branch off right into trail n° 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 Wurzer mountain hut (1,707 m asl), we cycle back down to Avelengo on trail n° 2A.
