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 a.s.l. 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 a.s.l., 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 no. 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 Malga Wurzer mountain hut (1,707 m a.s.l.), we cycle back down to Avelengo on trail no. 2A.
