Description:
The Tannheimer Tal has been known among cyclists for a long time, as in 2001 the peloton of the Austrian Cycling Tour passed through the valley. In 2005, the cycling pros of the Bayern Tour were rewarded with the mountain classification Tannheimer Tal and the mountain classification Jungholz during the opening stage on Tyrolean soil. Even pros were struck 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 pros on their racing kilometers. Thus, the Tannheimer Tal has also established itself as an ideal region for targeted training or extensive tours. "The Tannheimer Tal is an ideal starting point for long road bike 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 mountain bike national coach of Austria. Cyclists find, besides the ideal starting point, a wide range of accommodations in the Tannheimer Tal. From 5-star hotels to private rooms, you can choose your accommodation. After a beautiful ride, relax your mind and recharge your strength. - The Tannheimer TalDirections:
