We take the bike shuttle to the small mountain village Montefranco, `where` we start riding towards the "Marzoner Alm" hut, one of the lowest alpine pastures in Southtyrol. Alternatively, we can also ride the steep road `from` Castelbello to the "Marzoner Alm" hut ourselves (1070m elevetion gain). From the "Marzoner Alm" we take the Bike Highline Merano and follow the trails to reach the start of the "Lupotrail" (No. 4, signposted). Most parts of the Highline are broad forest roads, but this stretch is quite narrow with some exposed areas, so be careful. We start riding on the "Lupotrail" which brings us all the way down to Tablá. The downhill is a real test for our brakes and our body. The trail is full of gravel and roots, but has a quite flowy character and is thus perfectly suited for beginners. Experts have the possibility to switch to the "Fontanatrail" at half way (S3). Arrived in Tablá, we return to Naturno through the apple orchards.
