This classic yet challenging tour leads from Innsbruck to Kühtai. The alpine terrain and high-altitude ascents require strength and endurance. Along the way, you are rewarded with fantastic panoramic views, rapid descents and idyllic villages. 


Route:


The route begins directly in Innsbruck and leads west along the paved Inn Cycle Path. After the airport, the route continues along the main road on the northern side of the River Inn to Telfs. There, it crosses the river and heads south towards Ötztaler Höhe. At the roundabout, continue towards Ötz. This is the start of the challenging ascent past Ötzerau and Ochsengarten to the highest point of the tour in Kühtai. The steepest section has a gradient of 18%.


Kühtai is a peaceful village in summer with a few restaurants and guesthouses where you can stop for a break. From Kühtai, the route heads steeply downhill towards Kematen. The road is quiet but bikers should still expect to meet traffic and may also come across herds of livestock. The route is flat from Kematen back to Innsbruck. We recommend leaving the main road and joining the Inn Cycle Path in Zirl.


Route options:


The route can also be completed in the opposite direction. Some tips for those who wish to extend the tour: A detour from Gries im Sellrain to the Lüsens Valley will test your fitness and offer even more wonderful alpine experiences and views. Another option for mountain specialists is the Haiminger Sattele: a challenging climb from the village of Haiming.


Equipment:


The tour takes you through high alpine terrain where weather and temperatures can be severe, even in summer. We recommend that you take the correct equipment with you, for example a warm hat, windproof jacket and gloves. A rear light is required for riding through some of the snow sheds (avalanche galleries that protect the road). 



Arrival, public transport


Travel to Innsbruck is possible by bus, train, car or plane. If required, there are buses that operate throughout the area and trains that run along the Inn Valley. More information is available at https://www.innsbruck.info/en/destinations/arrival-and-transport.html
