Description:
For demanding bikers, there are 15 bike routes totaling 150 kilometers, which have been approved and uniformly signed by the state of Tyrol. In addition, the Tannheimer Tal is the starting point for the newly designed "Bike Trail Tirol." The large circular route with over 800 kilometers and the many connecting sections with a further 500 kilometers are designed so that bikers can compose their individual routes.
Bike paths away from the roads
You can explore the surroundings on the "Tannheimer Tal cycle path," which passes the most beautiful corners of the Tyrolean high valley over 40 kilometers. The bike paths are off the federal highway and uniformly signed. Via Schattwald towards Rehbach, you reach Ober- and Unterjoch in the Allgäu - take a moment at the moor pond "Floschen." Or ride through Tannheim and Grän onwards along the new lakeside promenade at the Haldensee to Nesselwängle. A detour to the Vilsalpsee nature reserve will surely please you.
The Tannheimer Tal bike & mountain bike map
The Tannheimer Tal bike & mountain bike map marks a total of 15 routes with colors and numbers. The route descriptions, elevation profiles, length, and difficulty levels of each route are on the reverse side. All routes are combinable and clearly signposted. Additionally, MTB routes from neighboring regions are also shown. The blue routes are for leisure riders. Red marked routes are medium difficulty, and black marked routes are a sporting challenge.
The bike & mountain bike map can be purchased for €8.90 at the Tannheimer Tal tourist association.
Follow the colors....
The right mix counts - this also applies to the mountain bike offerings in the Tyrolean Tannheimer Tal. Those who pedal here have the choice between 15 routes and more than 300 mountain bike kilometers for every skill and fitness level. All routes are combinable and clearly signposted.
Blue route - easy
Mountain bike beginners, confident road riders, and e-bikers follow the blue markings in the Tannheimer Tal. The continuously rideable paths have minimal incline and are ideal for family outings in the saddle, where monotony certainly does not occur: For example, the Kneipp circular route offers a refreshing descent according to your mood. After all, the nearly six kilometers and 198 elevation meters ride more easily with well-circulated legs.
Red route - medium difficulty
Those who see red in the Tannheimer Tal will be pleased. The medium-difficulty and scenic mountain bike routes require sporting riding skills and particularly defensive riding behavior. Scenic route tip: On the approximately 11-kilometer "Haldenrunde," bikers cover nearly 500 elevation meters and are rewarded, upon arrival at the Berghotel Zugspitzblick, with a wide view over the Tannheimer Tal and the mountains Rote Flüh and Gimpel, the landmarks of the Tyrolean high valley. In good weather, the view even extends to Germany's highest mountain.
Black route - difficult
There are 2 routes marked black in the Tannheimer Tal. This means they are classified as "difficult" and demand physical strength and mountain bike experience. Like the route to Raaz Alpe, where mountain bikers face 47 kilometers and 1,512 elevation meters. The diversity of the Tyrolean high valley is shown in the "Valley circuit": Over 67 kilometers and 1,280 elevation meters, the route offers the full range of mountain biking. By the way, in the "Tour de Tannheimer Tal," bikers can enter or exit at any point.
---> Tip: The Tannheimer Tal is the starting point for the Bike-Trail-Tirol, the longest continuous circular route for mountain bikers in the Alpine region with 1,000 kilometers.Directions:

Tip:
Visit the Highline 179, the longest suspension bridge in Europe.Safety guidelines:

Please note that mountain biking carries an increased risk of accidents and injuries. Despite careful route planning, a basic risk always remains. Preparation through endurance training, appropriate technical training and education, as well as personal caution reduce the risk of accidents and dangers. However, never forget that weather in the mountains can change very quickly. Stay on marked trails.
Ride on the "safe side" in the Tannheimer Tal
In Austria, mountain biking is generally prohibited by law on all forestry and hiking paths, except for explicitly designated mountain bike trails. Entrances to forestry roads are sometimes marked with traffic prohibition signs and additional information such as "Cycling prohibited." Hiking trails do not display these prohibition signs, but biking on these paths is forbidden nonetheless.

Equipment:

Personal equipment must be safe, functional, and meet the respective technical standard. Every mountain biker is recommended to inform themselves about the planned routes through specialist literature or locally.
Complete mountain bike equipment is strongly recommended even for experienced riders!
