Mountain Biking & Cycling in the Zillertal Alps

Anyone who has already felt the incredible sensation of the fresh mountain air in their face knows that you will struggle to find a more beautiful location on earth for mountain bikers. The impressive natural surroundings and the well maintained network of routes make everything possible, from gentle family cycle tours to demanding mountain biking tours for professionals.

Physically demanding or leisurely - but always active.

Over 800 km of well-developed mountain biking and cycling routes invite you to experience the unmistakable mountain panorama of the Zillertal, with its fifty-five 3,000 m plus mountain summits by bike.

In doing so you have the choice between a physical bike tour, with up to 30,000 metres of demanding climbs to conquer, and a regenerative fitness tour, combining gentle cycling tours with journeys on the mountain railway and the Zillertalbahn railway.

Racing cyclists will find perfect conditions on the famous Alpine roads - the Zillertal high alpine road, the roads which wind through the many valleys, or the true test of stamina: the Gerlos Pass to Salzburg.

For families, the wide, sunny cycle paths at the base of the valley offer the perfect setting for a family cycling tour. Why not follow up an enjoyable cycle ride with a stop at one of the more than 130 "Hütte" or lodges for a taste of the popular Zillertal natural produce.
