Course: Naturno – Castelbello – Laces – Silandro – Lasa – Tarnell – Cava di marmo di Covelano – "Göflaner Alm" hut – Holy Hansen Trail – Covelano – Laces – Castelbello – Naturno

From the town center of Naturno, we take Via Stazione / Bahnhofstraße which leads us to a bridge, the starting point of the cycle path on the Lungoadige / Etschdamm. We turn right and take the cycle path towards Stava, `where` we have a beautiful view of Castle Juval. Arrived in Stava, we turn right, cross the bridge and turn left to follow the cycle path. We continue on the cycle path which leads us through the villages Castelbello, Laces, Coldrano, Silandro, Covelano and finally Lasa. Right at the entrance of Lasa, we turn left towards Tarnell and the valley of Lasa (signposted). We ride uphill towards the mountain village Tarnell and get to a crossroad at a marble gravel road. We turn left towards the marble quarries of Coldrano (2150m), `where` we can admire the "white gold". From the quarries we take trail no. 3 to the "Göflaner Alm" hut. After a break at the hut, we ride on a forest road towards the "Kohlplätzen" (1682m), `where` we take the forest road that goes slightly uphill. This road finally turns into a trail. After crossing some mountain streams, we arrive at the "Weiskaser Alm" hut. Just underneath the hut, the well known "Holy Hansen Trail" starts and brings us all the way down to Covelano, `from` where we return to Naturno on the cycle path.
