Oberjoch route

The Tannheimer Tal has long been known among cyclists, as in 2001 the peloton of the Austrian Tour passed through the valley. In 2005, the cycling pros of the Bayern Tour came as part of 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 beauty of the "probably most beautiful high valley in Europe." Lush green meadows, the Haldensee and a beautiful mountain backdrop accompanied the cyclists on their competition kilometers. Thus, the Tannheimer Tal has also established itself as an ideal region for targeted training or extensive routes. "The Tannheimer Tal is an ideal starting point for long road bike routes into the surrounding areas 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 accommodations. From 5-star hotels to private rooms, you can choose your accommodation. After a nice ride, relax and recharge your batteries. – The Tannheimer Tal
