SPEED & MOMENTUM

Cycling along the roads of the Inn Valley, through idyllic villages and with wonderful views: the towns and villages in the Innsbruck region offer a wide range of options for more than just mountain biking. The area also provides ideal terrain for road cyclists. Numerous bike paths criss-cross the region. The roads to the surrounding villages are well developed and many places offer paved country roads with little traffic. If you would rather take on some big climbs, there are of course also challenging routes available. However, many are possible with only moderate gains in elevation.

Innsbruck - Gnadenwald - Volders - Tulfes - Rinn - Lans - Patsch - Ellbögen - Matrei - B182 - Natters - Axams - Afling - Innsbruck


This challenging round tour with stunning views takes riders on a circular route around Innsbruck via all of the surrounding high alpine plateaus. The constant up and down means that this route clocks up an impressive number of vertical metres. The full tour passes through lots of little villages around Innsbruck but it can be shortened or extended at any time to suit personal preferences and fitness levels.


There are plenty of small cafés and guesthouses in the villages along the way, which are great places to take a break and replenish energy levels.


Route options

From Lans, the route can be shortened by riding to Innsbruck via Igls. Additional shortcuts: the B182 in the Wipp Valley leads straight down to Innsbruck. To extend the tour, you can add a flat section that goes via Kematen to Zirl. In Axams, you can add vertical metres by riding up to the Sellrain Valley via Grinzens and Tanneben rather than going back down to the Inn Valley. From there, you can take a route straight back to Innsbruck or continue on from the village of Sellrain through Oberperfuss and Ranggen before returning to Innsbruck.
