On each summit, a stamp point and an information board with map and a description of the next trail section is waiting for you. As starting point you can choose any lodging partner. The mountain bike trail is signposted in counter-clockwise direction.
Depending on fitness and time, the unique MTB track can be absolved in one, two, or three days (“Trophy”) or in four to six days (“Open”). With a starter pack you can also secure the hand-made Stoneman trophy designed by Roland and an entry in the official finisher list. And you actively contribute to the preservation of the track.
For all our sakes: Please observe the fair play rules at all times while biking.

From September, the Gold tour is only accessible to extremely skilled bikers.
The Stoneman Miriquidi is a class of its own, both in terms of technique and fitness! Nine tricky ascents lead up to just as many fascinating summit adventures.
In respect to driving skills, the difficulty levels mainly range from S0 to S1, with some S2 passages. Don’t underestimate it! The Gold tour is only for technically well-versed and fit mountain bikers. If you have any doubts, take your time for your first tour, and maybe start with the silver or bronze tour.
