Blue trail - easy
Mountain bike beginners or safe bike route riders as well as e-bikers follow the blue signage in the Tannheimer Tal. The continuously well-ridable paths have only minimal incline and are thus ideal for family outings on the saddle, where monotony certainly does not occur: The Kneipp circular route for example offers a refreshing descent depending on mood. After all, the nearly six kilometers and 198 meters in altitude are cycled all the easier with well-blooded legs.
Red trail - medium difficulty
Those who see red in the Tannheimer Tal rejoice. Because these are moderately difficult and scenically appealing mountain bike trails that require sporty biking skills and especially defensive riding behavior. Scenic tour tip: On the approximately 11-kilometer-long "Haldenrunde," bikers cover almost 500 meters in altitude and are rewarded, once arrived at the Berghotel Zugspitzblick, with a wide view of the Tannheimer Tal and the mountains Rote Flüh and Gimpel, the landmarks of the Tyrolean high valley. In good visibility, the view even extends to Germany's highest mountain.
Black trail - difficult
In total, 3 routes are classified as difficult - not least due to their length - and demand fitness and mountain bike experience. Like the route to Raaz Alpe, where 47 kilometers and 1,512 meters in altitude await the mountain bikers. The diversity of the Tyrolean high valley is shown in the "valley round": On 67 kilometers and 1,280 meters in altitude, the route offers the full spectrum of mountain biking. By the way, bikers can join or leave the "Tour de Tannheimer Tal" at any point.

Safety guidelines:

It should be noted that mountain biking can involve an increased risk of accidents and injuries. Despite careful route planning, a basic risk always remains. Preparing for the route through endurance sports, appropriate technical training and further education as well as personal caution reduces the risk of accidents and dangers. But never forget that the weather in the mountains can change very quickly. Stay on the marked paths.
Ride on the "safe side" in the Tannheimer Tal
In Austria, mountain biking is generally prohibited by law on all forest and hiking trails, except for explicitly released mountain bike routes. Entrances to forest roads are sometimes marked with driving ban signs and additional information such as "cycling prohibited." Hiking trails do not have these prohibition signs, but riding on the trails is still forbidden.

Equipment:

Personal equipment must be safe and usable and meet the respective technical standard. Every mountain biker is advised to inform themselves about the planned routes in specialist literature or on site. 
Complete mountain bike equipment is strongly recommended even for experienced riders!
