bike festa: Stoanamandl - One of the most brilliant tours in Brixen

From Brixen, we take the shuttle to the valley station in Vals/Jochtal. The cable car then takes care of most of the elevation gain on this tour for us. After a short pedal, we reach the Stoanamandl, where a 360° panoramic view all the way to the Three Peaks awaits us. The descent towards Meransen and then on towards Spinges opens up a fantastic trail descent all the way back to Brixen, apart from one short section where pushing the bike is required. The first section to Spinges is completely flowy, followed by a short stretch on a forest road; from there, the route continues on a true trail highlight back to Brixen.
