A scenic hut-to-hut eMTB tour halfway up Innsbruck's Nordkette mountain range with wonderful views over Tyrol's capital city and the neighbouring village of Rum. The ride starts at the Ottoburg restaurant and leads up to the Mühlau district and then along very good forest roads up through the Mühlauer forest to the Hungerburg district. The Umbrüggler Almweg trail leads off from there and heads a little more steeply up to the Umbrüggler Alm, where you can take a break. From there, you can cruise leisurely along the forest road to the Arzler Alm mountain hut, where it is well worth taking another little break. After all, why not? After replenishing your energy levels, the ride heads uphill along the forest road to the Rumer Alm mountain hut. Now you have definitely earnt a cool drink and tasty alpine snack. Finally, follow the forest road down to the Rechenhof guesthouse and then the road back to Innsbruck. At the Rumer Alm mountain hut, it is possible to charge your e-bike battery using your own charging device. Highlights: Fantastic route for varied views of Innsbruck.

This scenic but physically challenging tour leads from Obsteig, past the hamlets of Arzkasten and Aschland, to Nassereith. From there, you continue towards Fernsteinsee, past the campsite and up the old Römerstrasse road. The route then crosses the Fern Pass road and continues towards the Nassereither Alm mountain hut. At the turnoff, head left down towards Biberwier. Shortly before reaching Biberwier, take the wide road towards the Marienbergalm mountain hut, which gets steeper and steeper the further you go. Once you reach the Sunalm mountain hut, take the short but very steep path up to the Marienbergjoch ridge. After this, it is downhill all the way. From the Marienbergalm down to Arzkasten and back to Obsteig. If you will be relying heavily on the battery, we recommend taking a second battery with you. Highlights: The Marienbergalm mountain hut, located at an altitude of 1,622 metres above sea level in the Mieming Range. The Hochfeldern Alm mountain hut at 1,732 metres above sea level, where the rugged mountain landscape seems close enough to touch. The Gasthaus Arzkasten, an alpine guesthouse and restaurant that is the perfect place to replenish your energy levels with Tyrolean specialties.

A very scenic but demanding circular ride with steep climbs up to the Alplhütte mountain hut. The route starts at Telfs-Pfaffenhofen train station and zigzags uphill to the Straßberghaus mountain hut, which is located at an altitude of 1,191 metres above sea level. The ride takes you through shady mixed woodland. Along the way, you will frequently be treated to wonderful views of the Inn Valley. From the Straßberghaus, the route gets steeper and steeper, reaching inclines of up to 25% as it climbs up to the Neue Alplhütte at 1,504 metres above sea level. The Neue Alplhütte is a beautifully located mountain hut surrounded by the stunning scenery of the Mieming Range. It also has a lovely terrace with a large children's playground. The Neue Alplhütte is a great starting point for mountain tours on the Hochwand, Karkopf or Hohe Munde mountains. Experienced bikers with good technical skills can ride the short trail that loops back from the Alplhaus to the Straßberghaus. The more leisurely option is to follow the same route back. If you will be relying heavily on the battery, we recommend taking a second battery with you. Our bike & hike tip: You can hike from the Straßberghaus up to the Niederer Mundl col. This hike covers an altitude of 900 vertical metres and takes approx. 2.5 hours. Warning: Be sure to take plenty of water with you. The south-facing slopes get very hot in summer.
