Gruberalm

We start out along the cycle path heading toward St. Johann. At the Kottersteghof junction, we turn right onto the wide forest road and ride up to the Klausberg mountain station. Once we arrive at the top, we follow the signposted trail toward “Gruber Alm.” The path becomes a bit steeper here, followed by a short level section before descending to the Gruber Alm.

For those who prefer not to descend via the same route: Continue past the Gruber Alm across meadows and along a forest road into the woods. At the next fork, keep right toward the Steinerhöfe. After the first bend, turn left and continue across the fields. We now pedal along hiking trail 10a toward Pojen. A short section will require pushing or carrying the bike until we reach the forest road.

Once in the hamlet of Pojen, we pass Gasthof Roaner and turn right after the bridge. From here, we follow the steep old church trail marked No. 33 down alongside the stream. This fast and fun singletrack offers a thrilling ride all the way to Sand in Taufers. The final leg of our MTB tour takes us along the river on the bike path back to Luttach.
