Most biking-tours trough the valleys are pretty long and challenging but in many cases they can easily be shortened by little cable-car rides.

Now we drive back for a little track and follow the road sign to "Avelengo". Shortly before arriving we turn again in direction "Vöran", and follow the road signs for the hiking-path Vöran til we get back to the cable-car. From here you can decide if you want to go back with the train or rather take the more challenging path "Sunnseitn Steig" to Postal and then to Lana.
