The rating of the driving technique is based on the values ​​of singletrail-skala.de.

S0 = S0 describes a single trail that has no special difficulties. These are mostly liquid forest and meadow paths on grippy natural soils or gravel solidified. Stages, rock or root sections are not expected. The slope of the path is light to moderate, the curves are extensive.
S1 = a S1 described way you have to even minor obstacles such as shallow roots and small stones to expect. Very often the odd gulley erosion damage and cause of the increased difficulty of the ground can not be partially solidified. The gradient is a maximum of 40%. Hairpin bends are not expected.
S2 = expect the S grade S2 have to with larger roots and stones. The soil is often not solidified. Steps and shallow steps are expected. Often sharp bends occur, the slope is passages, up to 70%.
S3 = Splinted single trails with many large rocks and / or root sections belonging to the S-level S3. High levels switchbacks and brain-lateral gradients often occur, relaxed roll sections are rare. Frequently is also expected to slippery surfaces and loose rocks, slopes above 70% are not uncommon.
S4 = S 4 describes very steep and strong interlocked single trails with large boulders and / or demanding root passages therebetween often loose debris. Extreme steep ramps, narrow switchbacks and steps in which the chainring touches inevitably come in 4th grade common.

Course: Naturno – Rablá – Tel - uphill Rio Lagundo – Bike Highline Merano to "Tablander Alm" hut – Lupo Trail – Fontana Trail - 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 left on the cycle path towards Merano. Arrived in Tel we turn right and start our uphill towards Rio Lagundo. The first 2,4 km are the toughest with a gradient of 16% at some parts. At the first crossroad we keep right and follow the signs towards Rio Lagundo (1340m). From Rio Lagundo we take the asphalt street and follow the signs to San Vigilio. After a barrier the asphalt street turns into a forest path that leads us to San Vigilio (1760m). Just before San Vigilio we arrive at a crossroad where the Merano Bike Highline starts. We follow the Bike Highline westwards always up and down to get past the huts of Naturno, Zetn and Mausloch to finally reach the "Tablander Alm" hut. Most parts of the Highline are on forest road, only a small part from the "Mausloch Alm" hut to the "Tablander Alm" hut is on a narrow trail. After a well deserved break at the "Tablander Alm" hut we follow the Bike Highline to reach the start of the "Lupo Trail" (nr.4). On the "Lupotrail" we cross the forest road two times and the first time we get to an asphalted street we leave the trail to proceed on the asphalted street until the next hairpin bend, where we take the trail nr.9 (Fontanatrail), which brings us to the farm "Niedermair". By following the technically demanding "Fontanatrail", with a lot of rocky and blocked but also flowy sections, we reach the bottom of the valley at Ciardes, where we take the cycle path to return to Naturno.
