Oberammergau loop

Among cyclists, the Tannheimer Tal has been known for some time, as in 2001 the convoy of the Austrian Cycling Tour passed through the valley. In 2005, the professional riders of the Bayern Tour came to the opening stage on Tyrolean soil and were rewarded with the Tannheimer Tal mountain classification and the Jungholz mountain classification. Even professionals noticed the scenic charms of the "probably most beautiful high valley in Europe." Lush green meadows, the Haldensee, and a beautiful mountain backdrop accompanied the pros on their competitive kilometers. Thus, the Tannheimer Tal has also positioned itself as an ideal region for targeted training or extensive routes. "The Tannheimer Tal is an ideal starting point for long road bike rides into 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 not only the ideal starting point in the Tannheimer Tal but also a wide range of accommodation. From 5-star hotels to private rooms, you can choose your accommodation. After a nice ride, let your soul dangle and recharge your batteries. – The Tannheimer Tal
