Krauti on Tour – Exploring Val d’Ega (Eggental)

Val d’Ega is much more than just a bike destination for me – it is my home. Between the majestic peaks of the Rosengarten and Latemar, I have spent many years helping to shape the development of mountain biking, working on tourism projects, and riding countless kilometers on the region’s trails and mountain roads. In this edition of “Krauti on Tour,” I invite you to discover some of the most beautiful places and inspiring stories that make Val d’Ega so special.

Over the years, Val d’Ega has become one of South Tyrol’s leading cycling destinations. What makes the region unique is the combination of breathtaking Dolomite scenery, excellent infrastructure, and people who are truly passionate about cycling. Whether you prefer relaxed e-bike tours, scenic alpine routes, or challenging mountain bike adventures, the region offers unforgettable experiences for every type of rider.

But Val d’Ega is much more than a collection of trails and routes. It is the people behind the scenes—the hosts, guides, mountain hut owners, and tourism professionals—who create a welcoming atmosphere and help make the region a true cycling paradise. Many of these developments I have witnessed and supported over the years, long before mountain biking became a major trend in the Dolomites.

During my journey through Val d’Ega, I visit both well-known landmarks and hidden gems that even many locals have yet to discover. It is not only about riding bikes, but also about the stories, traditions, and people that have shaped this remarkable region.

Join me on a journey through one of the most beautiful cycling destinations in the Alps, where mountain biking, nature, and South Tyrolean hospitality come together in a unique way. Welcome to Val d’Ega.
