· On the mountain you greet each other, this is tradition and this applies to bikers and hikers
· Give way to pedestrians
· Respect signage and stay on the trail/path

· Always ride in a way that allowes you to stop in case of emergency (ride with foresight)
· Use your brakes smoothly in order not to ruin trails, paths and gravel roads
The link route to the Niger Pass, where you can easily access one of the Eggental valley MTB routes, begins above St. Zyprian village centre. At the bus station, the route turns to the right onto the “Hinterboden” forest trail, crosses the Rio di Tires and leads past the tree nursery. The winding trail covers 550 metres of elevation difference, uphill all the way. Before the Eggental valley MTB trails begin, you can stop for refreshments at the Refuge Niger Pass Hütte mountain hut.
The route to the Niger pass links the biking region of the Seiser Alm to the biking adventure in the Eggental. You have to grapple with 562 m of elevation but can replenish your energies at the Refuge Niger Pass before you set off to explore the other biking region.
