Mountain bike tours for e-bikes

Up the mountains by bike: What used to be reserved for mountain bikers with legs of steel is now within reach for everyone. E-mountain bikes make it feasible to access numerous destinations that previously required a very high level of fitness. This means you can enjoy a ride to the most beautiful mountain huts and picture-perfect views. The ride is still not completely effortless. But it is only moderately strenuous compared to riding uphill using pure muscle power. The battery support opens up brand new biking territory: the mountains around Innsbruck where you will find delicious alpine delicacies and alpine views: lush green alpine meadows, dark green forests, chirping birds and the freshest air in the region.

This scenic eMTB tour follows paved roads through the Lüsens Valley all the way to the beautiful valley’s end below the Lüsener Ferner glacier. From the Murmel Adventure Playground car park in Gries, follow the road steadily uphill via Juifenau. It then becomes a little steeper, but the four hairpin bends before the "Alpengasthof Lüsens" turnoff are quickly tackled. At the turnoff, keep left. From then on, the trail is much flatter past the Kundlhof farm. You can take a short break at the fish pond below the Gallwiesalm. The rest of the route is also pleasantly flat to the Alpengasthof Lüsens, where you can enjoy delicious Tyrolean cuisine.


Our bike & hike tip:

The hike from Lüsens along the Sommerweg trail to the Westfalenhaus mountain hut. The route there and back adds an additional 9.2 kilometres and 4 hours of walking time. Surefootedness is a must for this trail!
