Flexible pedalling fun through the Alps

If you love nothing more than sitting in the saddle and pedalling to your heart’s content, then Tyrol mountain bike safari is a true paradise. The longest consecutive mountain bike circuit in the Alps runs over 1,000 kilometres through Tyrol’s mountain landscape, from Nauders in the Tyrolean Oberland to Walchsee in Unterland. Steep ascents and extremes of endurance? You won’t find that here. You can conquer half of the 32,000 metres of elevation in perfect comfort with one of over 20 cable cars. If you don’t have the time to spend several days biking in Zillertal or would like to plan a short bike tour during your hiking holiday in Zillertal, simply choose one of the 32 stages and explore a small section of the breathtakingly beautiful route

Zillertal valley cycle path

Zillertal valley cycle path offers great fun for leisure cyclists of all ages. Fantastically developed and generously wide, the trail winds over 31 kilometres from Strass to Mayrhofen. The minimal altitude difference between the two locations makes the route perfect for biking beginners or families with children, who can enjoy a leisurely, safe ride in the sunshine. On the way, you’ll discover plenty of destinations that invite you to stop off and explore. Sometimes it might be playgrounds where your children can let off steam, other times you’ll discover open-air swimming pools or an adventure park. And if one of these breaks lasts a bit longer than expected or tired legs just can’t keep pedalling, there’s always the option to hop on the train with your bike at one of the Zillertalbahn railway stations and continue your journey in comfort.
