Whether a relaxed hut-to-hut tour rewarded with tasty "Kaiserschmarrn" or a crisp route with loads of altitude meters - we have defined Ötztal's motto in order to offer everyone an unforgettable cycling & biking experience on two wheels. And we offer an incredible network of over 850 km of signposted, varied MTB routes.
Hut tours are of course among the highlights in Ötztal, as well as wonderful loop tours towards lake Piburger See or the Stuiben Falls. And because variety is so enchanting, you can combine the best of two sports worlds - more and more enjoy bike & hike tours.
You start on Hintere Fundusalm from Umhausen towards the small mountain village of Köfels. Follow beautiful forest roads through the woods into Fundustal valley. From the mountain hut, which is serviced in the summer months, you can conquer the last 250 altitude meters on foot with a bit of climbing up to 2220 meter high Wenderkogel.
A truly perfect eBike & Hike tour leads from Längenfeld to the hamlet of Lehn and in many hairpin bends up to Stabele Alm, covering about 900 altitude meters. Right after the first serpentines you should not miss out on a short detour to idyllic Winkelbergsee mountain lake. Continuing on the saddleback, conquering turn after turn, you head towards the Alpine pasture hut where you can look forward to excellent cuisine - on advance booking you can even enjoy an Alpine breakfast on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
The best way to approach 3000 meter high Nederkogl peak is by bike, followed by a gnawing climb on foot. Mountain bikers climb 750 altitude meters from Sölden on a steadily climbing path. Enjoy the breathtaking panorama on the sun terrace of Lenzenalm (1896 m) with a direct view of Timmelsjoch. Breathe in, reflect and then tackle the 1200 m climb to 3163 m high Nederkogel summit. A sweaty but sensationally beautiful tour!
All mountain bike routes within the valley can of course be tackled just as well with e-mountain bikes. Electronic support turns even high-altitude mountain huts and alpine lakes into attractive and easily manageable tour destinations. Additionally, we have put together special e-bike tour recommendations that are almost predestined for these bikes. Energy boosters for your e-bike (and yourself) are provided by several charging stations and rest stops spread across the valley.
In general, you can ride a mountain bike on all public roads in Austria. Of course, there are exceptions such as motorways, expressways or pedestrian zones that are commonly closed to bicycle traffic.
Biking and cycling on forest roads or alpine paths is regulated differently from federal province to province. In most of provinces biking on such trails is currently forbidden by law. Not so in Tirol, where the "Tirolean Mountain Bike Model" has been introduced already in 1997. It guarantees all bikers that they are legally biking on the marked paths and trails ("BERGWELT TIROL MITEINANDER ERLEBEN" logo). In Ötztal, Tirol's longest side valley, biking and cycling fans will find an approved mountain bike route network of over 850 kilometers. HERE you will find all MTB routes in Ötztal.
