Grüntenrunde

The Tannheimer Valley has long been known among cyclists, as in 2001 the peloton of the Austrian cycling tour passed through the valley. In 2005, the professional cyclists of the Bayern tour came to the Tyrol region for the opening stage and were rewarded with the mountain classification Tannheimer Valley and the mountain classification Jungholz. Even professionals were captivated by the scenic charms of the "probably most beautiful high valley in Europe." Lush green meadows, Lake Haldensee and a beautiful mountain backdrop accompanied the pro cyclists on their competition kilometers. Thus, the Tannheimer Valley has also advertised itself as an ideal region for targeted training or extensive routes. "The Tannheimer Valley 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 Valley Tourism Association and former national mountain bike coach of Austria. Cyclists find not only the ideal starting point in the Tannheimer Valley but also a wide range of accommodations. From 5-star hotels to private rooms, you can choose your accommodation. After a beautiful ride, let your soul dangle and recharge your energy. - The Tannheimer Valley
