Following King Ludwig's footsteps

The Tannheimer Tal has long been known among cyclists, as in 2001 the peloton of the Austrian Cycling Tour passed through the valley. In 2005, the professionals of the Bavarian Cycling Tour arrived on Tyrolean soil at the opening stage and were rewarded with the mountain classifications Tannheimer Tal and Jungholz. Even professionals noticed the scenic charms of the "probably the most beautiful high valley in Europe". Lush green meadows, the Haldensee lake and beautiful mountain scenery accompanied the pro riders on their racing kilometers. Thus, the Tannheimer Tal has also proven itself as an ideal region for targeted training or extended routes. "The Tannheimer Tal is an ideal starting point for long road cycling routes 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 national mountain bike coach. Cyclists find a broad range of accommodation in the Tannheimer Tal in addition to the ideal starting point. From 5-star hotels to private rooms you can choose your accommodation. After a beautiful ride, let your soul dangle and recharge with new power. - The Tannheimer Tal
