297a Mont Sëura Tour Variante (alternate route)
S. Cristina – DOLOMITES Val Gardena
The ascent to the Comici Hut is sweaty, but the biker is spared the remaining metres in altitude thanks to the Gran Paradiso chairlift. The absolute highlight of the variant are the flow trails: from the highest point of the City of Stones, which is reached thanks to the chairlift, the Paravis Trail, which lives up to its name, leads to the mountain station of the Piz Seteur cable car. From there, you can choose between the flowy Family Trail or the adrenaline-pumping Easy Jump Line. From Plan de Gralba, a last trail leads to the left side of the stream to Selva Gardena and via the valley cycle path you finally reach the starting point in S. Cristina.

Roadbook
From Mont Sëura a short stretch downhill and then pedal up the steep climb towards Ciampinoi/Comici (those who want to avoid this can also take the Tramans chairlift, which also transports bikes and ebikes, up). From the Comici hut, the route goes downhill along a dirt track specially designed for bikers next to the gravel road until the Gran Paradiso valley station. If you don't want to miss out on the perfect flow fun, you should treat yourself to a ride up the mountain on the Gran Paradiso chairlift and definitely take the „Paravis“ Trail. Otherwise, you can continue straightaway: now there are two trail alternatives that guarantee great flow fun for both. The „Family Trail“, as the name suggests, is also suitable for kids with mountain bike experience. The „Easy Jump Line“ is a little more demanding, but still classified as medium-difficult. Both trails lead to Plan de Gralba. From there, another trail leads to Selva Gardena. From Selva Gardena you cycle back along the valley cycle path to the starting point in S. Cristina.
