The brand-new Trail 2026 finally fills the gap that’s been here for years: over 1,000 meters of elevation gain entirely on built singletrack, from Cima Paganella all the way down to Santel. In Part 1, I’ll take you through the Andalo area and the old, authentic Fai Zone, from the gondola to the legendary Apocalypse Now—and I’ll be honest about the spots where I just had to push my bike.
🎬 The trails in this episode: Willy Wonka · Interstellar · Top Gun · Peter Pan · Easy Rider · Apocalypse Now · Supernatural
📍 My base: Andalo | Second base: Santel (Fai Zone, quieter; my starting point since 2011)
🎫 Insider tip: You can also ride the Fai Zone with the cheaper single-zone ticket via the Santel-Meriz chairlift
⚠️ Real Talk: The limestone turns into a slippery slide when wet, so make sure to bring tires with good traction
🎥 Part 2 is coming soon: the entire Molveno Zone featuring Italy’s most beautiful lake
