Steeg-Kaisers

Description:
Among cyclists, the Tannheimer Tal has been well known for some time, as in 2001 the peloton of the Austrian Cycling Tour passed through the valley. In 2005, professional cyclists from the Bayern Rundfahrt came during the opening stage on Tyrolean soil and were rewarded with the Tannheimer Tal mountain classification and the Jungholz mountain classification. Even professionals were captivated by the scenic charms of the "probably most beautiful high valley in Europe." Lush green meadows, Lake Haldensee, and a beautiful mountain backdrop accompanied the pros 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 rides to surrounding regions such as Lake Constance or the Arlberg," says Michael Keller, managing director of the Tannheimer Tal Tourist Board and former mountain bike national coach of Austria. Cyclists find not only the ideal starting point but also a wide range of accommodations in the Tannheimer Tal. From 5-star hotels to private rooms, you can choose your accommodation. After a beautiful ride, relax your soul and recharge your strength. - The Tannheimer Tal
