Slow Bike – a tailwind to good taste

Every Friday, the Slow Bike Tour combines two things that belong together in our valleys: exercise in the mountain air and the honest cuisine of farms and alpine huts.

Slow Bike – Enjoyment with a Tailwind

There are bike tours that are all about elevation gain, timing, Strava segments. The Slow Bike Tour is the opposite. What counts here is what lies along the way: the scent of freshly cut grass, the panorama that resets itself around every bend – and the stop at a farm, which isn't a break from the tour, but its heart.

Every Friday, a guided e-mountain bike tour sets off in both Luson and Val di Funes as part of Slow Food Travel. Along the way, we stop at a Slow Food Travel farm or an alpine hut. There, the people behind the products themselves join the table: farmers who explain how their cheese matures, where the spectacled sheep gets its name, and why good food takes time. You taste what grows and is made up here – regional, seasonal, honest.

And the elevation gain? It's there, no question. But thanks to the e-mountain bike, it loses its sting. The tour is deliberately designed so that beginners can keep up too – the motor takes on the effort, you keep the enjoyment.

The Adolf Munkel Trail

There are trails you don't walk to cover distance, but to realign your own perspective. The Adolf Munkel Trail at the foot of the Val di Funes Geisler peaks is one of them. It's considered one of the most beautiful high-altitude trails in the Dolomites – yet its true quality only reveals itself once you take the pace out of it.
