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.

If you want to escape the summer heat, this is the right tour for you. The temperatures are always pleasant up at the Arztaler Alm mountain hut, even in the height of summer. The tour starts in the village of Ellbögen and leads south of Patscherkofel mountain into the quiet and picturesque Arz Valley. From the Hinterlarcher car park, the route continues on a gravel path past a small chapel and around a few hairpin bends to a pasture gate. From there, the trail leads mostly through a forest dotted with clearings until it comes to the Arztaler Alm mountain hut.


Caution: during the summer months, you can expect to meet animals grazing along the route. 


Highlights:

The Arztaler Alm is a charming mountain hut set at an altitude of 1,900 metres above sea level. Pleasant temperatures even in the height of summer. Traditional Tyrolean food from dumplings to dry-cured ham.
