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 cycling pros of the Bayern Rundfahrt reached Tyrolean soil in the opening stage and were rewarded with the mountain classifications Tannheimer Tal and Jungholz. Even professionals were captivated by the scenic attractions of the "probably most beautiful high valley in Europe." Lush green meadows, Lake Haldensee, and a beautiful mountain backdrop accompanied the cyclists on their competitive kilometers. Thus, the Tannheimer Tal has also been promoted as an ideal region for targeted training or extended routes. "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 Austrian national mountain bike coach. Cyclists find not only the ideal starting point in the Tannheimer Tal but also a wide range of accommodations. From 5-star hotels to private rooms, you can choose your accommodation. After a beautiful ride, you can relax and recharge your batteries. - The Tannheimer Tal
