ITRS - International Trail Rating System

The ITRS is an objective method to assess trails and routes from the biker's point of view, considering four aspects:

• Technical difficulty: required riding skills
• Fitness: combined effect of length, climbs, and descents
• Wilderness factor: required planning based on mobile phone reception, rescue options, water supply, and wildlife
• Exposure: consequences of a fall

All information is subject to regular changes and therefore no information is claimed to be absolute. Inaccuracies and inconsistencies cannot be completely avoided since environmental conditions and climate continuously change. For this reason, we assume no liability for any changes encountered by the user. It is highly recommended to get information on the condition of the paths and locations as well as environmental and weather conditions before each hike.

Parking at the starting point of the 1720. Cavedine - Route.

Cycling requires special clothing and equipment. Even on relatively short and easy routes, it is always better to be well equipped to avoid unpleasant surprises and to cope with unexpected events such as a sudden storm or loss of energy: the unexpected is also part of the fun!

Also remember to assess the type of route you are riding, the places you want to cross, and the current season. Has it rained? Be careful! The paths become more slippery and you need to be more cautious.

What should you bring on a bike ride?

• Sufficient water supply according to your needs (considering temperature, refill options, length and duration of the route)
• Snacks (e.g. dried fruit or bars)
• Windproof and waterproof jacket
• Spare shirt and socks
• Sunscreen
• Sunglasses
• Bike gloves
• Map or GPS device
• Flashlight, preferably on the helmet or handlebar (an unexpected or technical failure can extend the excursion times)
• First aid kit
• Bike repair kit for mechanical accidents
• Signal whistle

Always tell someone where you are going and how long you plan your outing.
