The Trail-infrastructure of Dolomit Paganella

Luca D'Angelo // Bike-Arena Dolomiti Paganella

„Attention to product development and diligence in the offered services are central. For further development upscaling an idea isn’t enough anymore - you need a well-reasoned infrastructure and well-maintained, safe paths, and much more!"

Flow trails, enduro trails, pumptracks, skill areas on shared trails and bike-only zones within 3 connected areas: Located in the heart of the Dolomites, at the foot of the Paganella is the Bike Arena Dolomiti Paganella, a huge playground for all MTB disciplines and skill levels. Luca tells us about ..

The trail network and it’s target groups,
The creation of this cross-community trail network
And the correlation between the bike park and the destinations future.
