Where Austria, Italy and Switzerland meet sits one of the largest connected enduro regions in the Alps: the 3-Country Enduro Trails (3-Länder Enduro Trails) at Reschen Pass. Six lifts, more than 30 singletrails and over 60 kilometres of trail spread across Nauders in Tyrol and Reschen and St. Valentin auf der Haide in South Tyrol — all rideable on a single lift ticket. This overview pulls together everything you need for the 2026 season: trails, lifts, tickets, how to get there and season dates.

The region at a glance

The network links three base areas across two countries, with the Swiss border a short pedal away on the high plateaus. From the top stations you get descents starting as high as 2,500 metres, with more than 1,000 vertical metres in a single run. In total the area counts 31 singletrails and roughly 64 kilometres of marked trail, served by six lifts.

  • Base villages: Nauders (Tyrol, AT), Reschen and St. Valentin auf der Haide (South Tyrol, IT)
  • Trails: 31 singletrails, approx. 64 km
  • Lifts: 6, all covered by one ticket
  • Descents: from up to 2,500 m, over 1,000 vertical metres at a stretch
  • Levels: blue flow lines to technical black enduro descents

A recurring landmark below it all is the Reschensee (Lago di Resia) with the submerged church tower of old Graun (Curon) rising out of the water — the region’s unmistakable postcard shot, and an easy detour on a rest day.

Lifts

All six lifts run on the same ticket, so you can move freely across the whole region and even change countries mid-day.

  • Bergkastelbahn (Nauders): the main gondola, giving access to the Bergkastel plateau and the long, uninterrupted descents back to Nauders.
  • Mutzkopf chairlift (Nauders): serves the Mutzkopf and the newer, more beginner-friendly blue line.
  • Zirmbahn (Nauders): connects into the mid-mountain trails.
  • Schönebenbahn (Reschen, IT): the Italian gateway to the Schöneben sector and the Piz Trail.
  • Haideralmbahn (St. Valentin, IT): opens up the Haideralm side above the Reschensee.
  • Plus the connecting lift that ties the network together into one continuous ticket area.

Because two of the lifts are operated on the Italian side, it’s worth confirming daily operation for the exact dates you’re travelling, especially early and late in the season (see season dates below).

The key trails

The region mixes wide, flowing blue lines with technical, high-alpine enduro descents. A few stand out.

  • Bergkasteltrail: the classic top-to-bottom line off the Bergkastel plateau, a long descent that anchors most riding days here.
  • EasyRide Trailpark: the entry-level zone for building confidence and warming up.
  • Hofratstrail: an intermediate line dropping from the top station.
  • Goldseetrail — now with a new jumpline section for riders who want airtime.
  • Zirmtrail, Almtrail and the surrounding mid-mountain trails that fill out the Bergkastel side.
  • Mutztrail: a newer blue line off the Mutzkopf, low-traffic and forgiving — a good place to find your rhythm.
  • Bunkertrail (Plamort plateau): the standout for history buffs, running past the concrete „dragon’s teeth“ tank barriers of the Vallo Alpino, built in 1938 as Italy fortified the pass. The trail threads through this open, exposed high-alpine terrain.
  • Piz Trail (Schöneben, IT): billed as the longest flow trail in Italy at around 7 kilometres — a big, sweeping descent that’s a highlight of the whole region.

Getting there

Nauders sits directly on the B180 Reschen road on the Austrian side of the pass, easily reached from the Inntal via Landeck and the Reschen Pass road. From the south and from Italy, you approach through the Vinschgau valley via Reschen and St. Valentin. The three base villages are only a few kilometres apart along the pass road, so it doesn’t matter hugely where you stay — you can reach any of the lifts within a short drive.

Season & opening times

The bike season runs through the summer, with lifts typically operating from around 09:00 to 16:30–16:45. Exact opening days vary by lift and by month, particularly for the two Italian-operated lifts (Schöneben and Haideralm), which can run on a reduced schedule early and late in the season.

To confirm operating days for your dates, contact the Bergbahnen Nauders directly:
