Bannwaldseerunde

The Tannheimer Tal has been well known among cyclists for some time, as in 2001 the peloton of the Austrian Cycling Tour passed through the valley. In 2005, the professional cyclists of the Bavaria Tour came to the start stage on Tyrolean soil and were rewarded with the Tannheimer Tal and Jungholz mountain classifications. Even professionals noticed the scenic charms of the "probably most beautiful high valley in Europe." Lush green meadows, the Haldensee and a beautiful mountain backdrop accompanied the pros on their race kilometers. Thus, the Tannheimer Tal has also established itself as an ideal region for targeted training or extended rides. "The Tannheimer Tal is an ideal starting point for long road bike rides to the surrounding regions such as Lake Constance or the Arlberg," says Michael Keller, managing director of the Tannheimer Tal Tourism Association and former Austrian mountain bike national coach. Cyclists find in the Tannheimer Tal not only an ideal starting point but also a wide range of accommodations. From 5-star hotels to private rooms you can choose your accommodation. After a nice ride, relax your soul and recharge your energy. - The Tannheimer Tal
