Taking cyclists from the valley floor all the way to the edge of the glacier, the Kaunertal Glacier Road is a real highlight for roadbike riders and one of the most spectacular climbs in the Alps. From the village of Prutz it winds its way up 29 corners and 2,260 vertical metres to an altitude of 2,750 metres at the foot of the WeiĂ&#x;seespitze mountain. It has featured several times in the Tour of Austria and hosts the annual Kaunertaler Gletscherkaiser race to determine who is the fastest rider from bottom to top.

Difficult

Difficult

The Ötztal Glacier Road has an average gradient of 10.5% and takes riders to the highest point in the Alps accessible by roadbike at 2,830m. Built in 1972, it is a challenge for even the fittest of riders. From Sölden the road leads through the spectacular Rettenbachtal Valley up to the glacier ski resorts at the end of the Ötztal Valley. After 14.5 kilometres of riding – including a section through the highest tunnel in the Alps, the Rosi Mittermeier Tunnel – riders reach the glaciers.

Kühtai has already achieved legendary status in Tirol's local roadbike scene and features in many races such as the Tour of Austria. Every year it is also the first of four major climbs in the Ötztal Bike Marathon. The ride from Innsbruck to the Ötztal Valley, up to Kühtai and back down through the Sellraintal Valley is an absolute classic. With 110km of riding and 1,720 vertical metres of ascent it is a challenging route which rewards riders with magnificent views of the Ötztal and Stubai Alps.

There are plenty of quaint villages along the way where riders can stop off for a meal.

Starting from Rattenberg, which will host the start of races during the 2018 UCI Road World Championships, this challenging ride with plenty of climbing takes riders along some of the quietest and prettiest roads in Tirol. Each of the three loops has its own cultural and historical highlights. The first leads through the village of Alpbach, the second along the Brandenberger Ache river and the third to the Reintaler Seen lakes – the ideal place for a well-deserved rest.

Cyclists taking on the Chiemgau Ride complete 126.5 kilometres in Germany's alpine foothills. Starting in Kufstein, the route leads via Aschau in the German region of Chiemgau to Siegsdorf and Ruhpolding. Despite its length, the ride has only 1,350 vertical metres of relatively easy climbing and plenty of places to stop off en route for a drink and a meal. Riders can look forward to plenty of highlights such as the castles in Kufstein and Aschau and pretty lakes between Ruhpolding and Niederndorf.

No respite, no recovery. The road up onto the Kitzbühel Horn mountain is steep – incredibly steep. No other climb in Tirol is revered more by roadbike enthusiasts. It traditionally features as the main highlight of the queen's stage at the Tour of Austria and with a constant gradient of between 10% and 18% demands not only excellent fitness but a healthy portion of determination. The reward at the top is a big bowl of pasta in the restaurant!

It comprises 122 kilometres, 2,300 vertical metres and three mountain passes. After the short ascent onto the Gailbergsattel, riders descend to Kötschach before taking on the toughest and most technical climb of the ride up onto the Kartitscher Sattel.

They then head down into the Pustertal Valley, where the final climb of the day with gradients of up to 17% awaits.

GREAT TRAILS

Rollercoaster above Innsbruck

Five flowing singletrack trails for downhill daredevils From tree-root passages to high alpine sections, the following five trails all have one thing in common: flow. The Arzler Alm Trail, Blindsee Trail, Fleckalm Trail, Leiterberg Trail and Plamort Trail are a fine crosssection of 115 singletrack trails in Tirol which draw riders from near and far to the region for spectacular twowheeled adventures.

A panel of singletrack experts chose the following five trails as the best in the region as part of the Great Trails in Tirol project. The selection is based on the criteria design, length, difficulty level and beauty.

THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR: FUN The members of the panel wanted to find trails that are fun to ride for bikers of all abilities. The Great Trails in Tirol are a mixture of natural trails and artifi-

cially built trails which present a challenge but are not excessively difficult.

They are suitable for most all-mountain and enduro riders and offer fabulous views of the mountains as well as cosy huts and bars to relax and enjoy the surroundings. The Great Trails can be found on maps, are clearly signposted and are, of course, official singletrack trails which have been approved and inspected by the local authorities.

Benedikt Purner, downhill local and trail builder

“A singletrack trail for all mountainbikers in the city of Innsbruck.” That was the goal for the new Arzler Alm Trail (AAT).

The result is a 2.8km natural trail that is very flowy and great fun to ride with its banked corners, jumps and root sections.

Advanced riders can use the kickers and rollers to get some airtime, while beginners can easily ride around them. The trail requires good bike-handling skills. We recommend stopping at the Arzler Alm hut for a snack. .

Access to some sections may be restricted or impossible due to maintenance work or poor weather conditions.

Please contact the local tourism office to get the latest information before you start planning your adventure.

“The length of this trail makes it so interesting.

You need plenty of concentration and fitness to ride it cleanly and quickly through to the end.”

Kötschach

With its cross-border flair and fantastic views of Reschensee lake, the Plamort Trail is one of the classic rides in the 3 Countries Enduro Trails region. It is relatively long at 5.8 kilometres and leads past historical sights such as tank defences, crossing over into Italy. The descent through forests and meadows from the top at Bergkastel down to Reschensee lake is divided into four sections with various levels of difficulty.

High above Leite, one of the old settlements in Sölden, is the Leiterberg Trail. While the first section is flowy and relatively easy, the section below the Leiterberg Alm hut is challenging.

The 4.5km singletrack trail descends 550 vertical metres and is characterised by root sections and some rocky passages. The lower section with its tight corners and technical parts poses a challenge even for expert riders. Beginner and intermediate riders can avoid the tricky lower section using a forest road.

Great trails and fine views in Sölden

Long, steep and with stunning views of the Tux, Kitzbühel and Zillertal Alps, the Zillertal High Road is located on the western side of Tirol‘s well-known Zillertal Valley and is one of the region‘s greatest challenges for roadbike enthusiasts.

The climbs are long and steep, but sensational views and landscapes are the reward for this strenuous ride. Riders start in Hippach and finish the climb next to the Jausenstation Melchboden serving food and drink.

Innsbruck has hosted the Olympic Games twice, so it is little wonder that “Olympia“ can be found almost everywhere in the regional capital of Tirol. This ride around Innsbruck nicknamed “Olympic Express“ is long, challenging and full of climbing. It takes riders through all the locations that hosted Olympic disciplines in 1976. It is designed in such a way that riders can also shorten the ride and head straight back to Innsbruck at several points along the route. Most of the roads are quiet and offer a fantastic riding experience with great views.

Fabulous views and a dip in a mountain lake to finish off – the Blindsee Trail from Grubigstein mountain to Blindsee lake is without a doubt one of the highlights in the Tiroler Zugspitz Arena. The 7km trail is generally flowy with a few tough parts every now and then, including a gravel section. It can be accessed using the Grubigsteinbahn cable car.

Measuring 7.1km in length, the Fleckalm Trail is one of the longest singletrack trails in Tirol. It winds its way down more than 1,100 vertical metres. This seemingly never-ending trail comprises root sections, large and small jumps, banked corners, berms, a few short climbs and plenty of fast sections. It hosted the 2015 Enduro European Championships. Riders need good fitness levels and bike-handling skills.
