Golden Days

We don’t know exactly how many kilometers of gravel trails there are around the Reschen Pass. But there are certainly several hundred in the Tyrolean Oberland and the South Tyrolean Vinschgau Valley. What we do know for sure, though, is that these trails lead to panoramic viewpoints that are second to none—places where your jaw will drop in awe. What’s more, for those who know the region well, this is the most beautiful time of all—when late summer is slowly giving way to fall. The larch needles turn yellow, the air becomes crystal clear, and the weather gods grow gentle and relaxed. It’s a great time to be outdoors—the perfect time to explore a special gravel riding area on your gravel bike at the foot of King Ortler. That’s why we want to celebrate the Golden Days with you right then.

With the option of taking the Bergkastel cable car in Nauders for the first ascent, the three routes offer a total of 6 elevation options ranging from 790 to 3,150 meters. So there’s a huge selection, and everyone can find the right challenge here. Here are the descriptions of all the route variations:

The variants with lift

If you want to soak in the epic panoramic views at the Reschen Pass on your gravel bike in the morning and then hit the 3-Country Enduro Trails on your mountain bike in the afternoon,
then this is the offer for you!
Pure enjoyment! But easier on the heart! If you want to save some elevation gain, you can take the Bergkastelbahn in Nauders for the first climb. That saves over 600 meters of elevation gain and opens up new possibilities. The “Espresso” route becomes even easier, but still offers a 100% scenic experience. But even the “Cappuccino” and “Grande Cappuccino” routes might become appealing to the hesitant riders thanks to the elevation gain savings. All routes initially pass by the Bergkastelbahn’s valley station. The lift shoots up Nauders’ local mountain, and those who take it actually reach a higher elevation than everyone else. Once you arrive at Berggastel at the top, a gravel path leads down to the right toward the Stieralm, where it rejoins the route that doesn’t use the lift.

The Golden Days event area is the central meeting spot in the village of Nauders. This is where the community gathers to connect. At the expo, you can learn about the latest trends from exhibitors and test ride the hottest new gravel bikes. This is the start and finish line for all hands-on events, and in the evening, everyone gathers around the campfire to celebrate. This is where everyone meets for the ride-out. After working up a sweat, you can plop down in a lounge chair, happy and content. Here, you treat yourself to a post-ride beer, catch up with friends, and just enjoy yourself while listening to the beats the DJ sends rippling across the grounds. Chilling out on the festival grounds—that’s part of what makes the Golden Days so special.
