CODE OF CONDUCT • Don’t overestimate yourself! Plan your tour to suit your fitness level and technical ability. That’s how you get the most fun out of it! • Not so fast! Cycle carefully and according to visibility – obstacles can be encountered at any moment. • Pedestrians have priority. Make your presence known at an early stage and only overtake at walking pace! • Be considerate of the nature and wildlife. Stick to the marked paths and only cycle in daylight. • Respect any quiet and protected areas. These are retreats for animals and rare plants.
06
• Respect private property and barriers. Make sure you keep to the designated routes and respect any blocked off paths. This is also for your own safety. Close all gates behind you after passing through. • Take it back! Do not leave any litter on the mountains or along the routes. • Check your equipment! Lights, brakes, tyre pressure, etc. – only cycle if everything is working properly on your bike. • Wear a helmet! Whether cycling uphill or downhill – wearing a helmet is important. Additional protectors should ideally be worn on the trails. • Got everything you need? Every rucksack should contain a repair set, first aid kit, mobile phone, light and plenty of food and drink.
07

PAZNAUN VALLEY PATH From See to the Zeinisjoch – a very special cycle path. You can cycle across the entire Paznaun region along the valley path, from See to the border with Vorarlberg. The route could not be more varied, flitting from gravel forest trails to asphalt side roads and sections of fine forest terrain. Sometimes the path runs directly along the valley bottom by the Trisanna river and sometimes along the sunny valley slopes 2100 m

At the start point by the Silvretta cable car, you cross the main road at the roundabout and then cycle parallel to it along a forest trail into the valley. After a little over half a kilometre, you cross the Trisanna river and ride through gently rolling meadows and fields on the sunny side of the valley towards Mathon where the route turns back. The return journey runs along the other side of the valley and you can cycle directly at the cool brook towards Ischgl. Recyclinghof Ischgl 2.6 km

The route follows the valley circuit to Mathon (page 18) and continues on in the same direction into the valley and to the town of Galtür. Switching between asphalt paths and forest roads, the route always follows the sunny side of the valley through some typical Alpine meadows and fields and briefly through a forest. The last section above Galtür passes through some particularly unique landscapes. Following an old overgrown forest path with a

At the end of the town, you follow a downhill section to the valley cycle path which runs alone the Trisanna river back to Ischgl.

This route covers approx. 1,000 m of altitude along a steadily climbing asphalt road. The route heads off towards the Fimbatal valley from the outset, running uphill to the middle station of the Fimbabahn or Silvrettabahn cable car. It is also worth taking a detour to the Schwarzwassersee and Pardatscher-See lakes. Form here, the road weaves its way up towards the Pardatschgratbahn cable car. The views down into the original Fimbatal valley and to the Gams-

pleis peak become increasingly more impressive. Once at the Idalp, the sun terrace is the perfect place to stop off for refreshments. On the route back to Ischgl, you can either take the road or the lively Paznauner Taja Trail (page 46) down towards the Fimbatal valley. Another option is the signposted connecting route 7090 up to the starting point at the Flimjochbahn mountain station.

The 79.7 km marathon route is an enormous challenge with over 2,000 m of altitude to complete. First the route follows the Fimbatal valley along to the Heidelberger Hütte lodge which is on Swiss soil. The ascent to the Fimbap Pass then follows with sections where you may have to push and carry your bike. But you will be rewarded with fantastic views. The next section leads downhill again to Ramosch and Finstermünz. This is followed by a length

ascent to Ravaisch and from here via the Twinliner cable car to the Alp Trider Sattel. You can cycle further along the Trider Sattel (page 38) and take the chair lift up to the Flimjochbahn mountain station. The Velill downhill section provides a wonderful trail-like feeling. Then the last section follows a comfortable forest road. Make sure you take a light with you: unlit tunnel between Finstermünz and Laret.

It follows a steep uphill section at the start to the Schwarzwassersee and Pardatscher-See lakes which are perfect for a rest. From here, the route along the Fimbabach becomes even more beautiful and idyllic! The route initially follows an asphalt section before becoming gravel and takes you past

This mountain biking route is ideal for an endurance training session. The entire route follows an asphalt road. The initial ascent is fairly difficult and can push bikers to their limits. If you wish to avoid this steep section, you can instead take the Fimbabahn or Silvrettabahn cable car up to the middle station (check operating hours). The ascent from here is less extreme. The valley then widens and the landscape becomes more beautiful. There is the opportunity Turn-off Middle station Silvrettabahn 2.9 km 2000 m

to take a break at the Schwarzwassersee lake or at the neighbouring Pardatscher-See lake. The road runs along the Fimbabach for 2 km to the clear turnoff to the Paznauner Taja lodge. The last section to the lodge follows twists and turns. The return journey either follows the same route or you can take the lively Paznauner Taja Trail (page 46).

Coming from Galtür, the tour starts out from the Piel car park where hikers heading for the Friedrichshafener Hütte can also park. Around 200 m above, those who started out in Ischgl join the route. There are a total of 16 bends to tackle along the relatively even ascent of the forest road to complete the 600 m of elevation gain up to the mountain lodge. Cyclists are rewarded with magnificent panoramic views of the various mountains in the Silvretta and
2,144 m

Verwall chains. The descent then follows the same route as the ascent. Right at the beginning and towards the end respectively, there is an interesting and signposted trail version which requires a certain degree of biking skill (S2 on the single trail scale). Please only use the specially designated trails and leave all the other paths for hikers – thank you!

From the Alp Trider Sattel to the Alp Trida, it’s all about the finest flow riding fun! Once you get an initial taste of the trail feeling as a beginner, you will find yourself infected with trail fever! But experienced bikers too will immediately feel the flow of this single trail as they race down to the Alp Trida. Perfectly shaped jumps present an additional challenge. Leisure riders can slow down the tempo a little and therefore take away some of the difficulty of the

jumps. There are several options from the Alp Trida: either tackle the Trider Sattel again or take the Alp Trider chairlift and try out the Alp Trida endurance trail (page 40). As an experienced cyclist, you can take the tricky and longer Schmuggler Trail (page 42) down into the valley. The spectacular ‘Twinliner’ double-decker cable railway will then take you back to the start.

Viderjoch starts out from the ‘Flimjochbahn mountain station’ and offers magnificent views right from the outset. The route initially runs along a well-maintained trail across stony terrain. With both bends and straight sections in parts, you finally come to a forest road and can then turn off left onto the trail. After crossing the next forest trail, the route passes through some increasingly lush vegetation. The altitude gain completed becomes evident and you are

From here, there are several options: ambitious bikers can continue on the Duty Free Ride Laret-Samnaun (page 44). Alternatively, you could opt for the gentler ‘Trider Sattel’ trail (page 38, accessible via the Alp Trider chairlift) or take the Flimsattelbahn chairlift back to the start.

The compact gravel road weaves its way along the mountain ridge, always following the border. A high level of fitness is required – some of the ascents are so steep that you will need to push your bike a bit. After the Greitspitzbahn chair lift, a top class trail offers an unbelievable feeling of freedom. The route follows the ridge along to the Salaaser Kopf at over 2,700 m altitude. And then the downhill part begins. It is clear why the smugglers chose this
2,861 m
2,446 m
route: you encounter virtually nobody here, apart from a few cows. A leisurely forest trail then runs back to the Alp Trider Sattel mountain station. The Trider Sattel (page 38) trail again offers plenty of downhill fun and leads to the destination, the Alp Trida. Here the Flimsattelbahn chairlift transports you back to the trail start point. Alternatively, the route can be lengthened by taking the Duty Free Ride Laret-Samnaun (page 44).

The Duty-Free Trail starts out from the Alp Trida and follows a brook. It is worth taking a break at the neighbouring small lake near the start to enjoy nature. This single trail then follows a relatively steep section down through beautiful terrain and plenty of fun! The route frequently crosses a forest road so there are lots of points where you can depart from the trail. The route covers just under 590m of altitude downhill to Laret. From here, cycle on to Ravaisch where

A steep uphill section towards the Sassgalunkopf then follows. Here you will need to push the bike over a few metres of altitude. Once at the top, you will be presented with idyllic views of the Fimbatal valley and the next downhill section begins. You can cruise

Parts of the trail here lead over wooden boardwalks which simply adds to the biking fun and at the same time presents a challenge in terms of biking technique. A forest trail and a variant that is difficult to ride proceed to the Paznauner Taja. The stretch from the Paznauner Taja is technically challenging and runs down a steep downhill section to the asphalt road. You can then pick up the pace and race back to Ischgl along this road.

This newly built route has lots of strips. Particular emphasis was placed on incorporating lots of steep curves during the construction process. As soon as you get off the Flimjochbahn cable car, the trail sets off towards the Idalp which is visible from the start. The route is suitable for anyone seeking a sporty descent. Beginners can easily build on their biking technique. If jumps present too much of a challenge, you can simply cycle over them carefully.

From the start point in the centre, the route runs north and crosses the Vermuntbach river behind the last houses (merging with the Jambach 100 m further down the valley to become the Trisanna river) and then heads into the valley towards the Zeinisjoch. The route runs along asphalt and gravel sections and after 4.5 km, reaches the 1,842 m pass which also forms the border between the states of Tyrol and Vorarlberg. From here, it follows gravel

The trail down from the Joch also presents a real challenge and anyone without 100% command of their bike will have to keep getting on and off. The final 1.5 km to the Friedrichshafener Hütte lodge (page 34) run along a forest path.

As with tour G.2 (page 58), this route leads via the Zeinisjoch to the Kopsstausee lake. A very long and fast descent runs from here along an asphalt road which is not accessible to general traffic and which ends on a bend of the Silvretta High Alpine Road above the town of Partenen. From here, a lengthy ascent follows a series of endless twists and turns (and the road often has to be shared with lots of motorbikes and cars) up to the Vermuntstausee lake

From the start point in the centre, the route leads south and quickly comes to a road which runs into the Jamtal valley. The route back covers 10 km and approx. 600 m of altitude before reaching the destination at the Jamtalhütte lodge. The tour is accompanied throughout by fantastic views of the glaciated peaks in the Lower Jamtal valley. The landscapes of this peaceful valley are characterised by the typical Tyrolean Alpine farming and various grazing animals are a constant companion. Two of the Alpine lodges – the

The tour to the lodge again follows some steeper sections so it is important not to underestimate the fitness level required. The Jamtalhütte lodge is part of the Swabia section of the German Alpine Association and is one of the most important support points for mountaineers, climbers and ski tourers in the Silvretta region.

The route follows a quiet asphalt road up to the hamlet of Falgenar where you reach a vantage point offering beautiful views down into the Inntal valley. The route turns around here and a forest path follows a gentle incline towards the south-west through the steep forests. After some 16 km, you come to a populated area again, the district

The start point for the trail is easily accessible from the Dias Alpe (at the Diasbahn cable car mountain station – bikes can be taken on the cable car – or from the Sunny Mountain adventure park) which is best accessed via route 740 (Kleine Dias-Runde, page 80). After a short flat section along a forest path heading west, you will see the trail access point on the left. It is signposted with a large panel between two trees. The trail then weaves its way through

the dense forest along beautiful woodland trails with only individual trees and after approx. 700 m crosses a forest road. In the lower section, the forest becomes less dense and the houses at the top of the district of Egg can be reached via the open meadows. From here, the ski descent takes you on down to a forest trail which then leads back to the centre of Kappl.

The route follows a short stretch along the main road towards Ischgl before turning off to the left and continuing along an asphalt track uphill to the districts of Klaus and Maierhof. The forest road starts out from the last houses and follows a gentle incline and twists and turns through the forests. After a little over 8 km, you come the mountain station of the Medrigjochbahn cable car at the Medrigalm lodge. A forest trail then runs along the ski pistes, partly Medrigalm Medrigjochbahn mountain station 8.2 km

along steeper sections up to the mountain station for the Zeinisbahn chairlift. This is followed by a longer and flatter section with a short final ascent to the Ascherhütte lodge. Magnificent panoramic views open up here, surrounded by the mountain peaks and are best savoured with a refreshment on the sun terrace. The return journey follows the same route to the Medrigalm lodge and from here follows the toboggan route track back down to See.

Most of the elevation gain can be completed at the start by taking the cable car. At the start of the tour, the forest trail crosses the Istalanztal valley and then leads west through steep forests in the shady side of Paznaun. The only notable climb starts at 6 km and covers 150 m of altitude through the Gampertuner Wald forest. From here, it runs downhill to a main road in the valley bottom. Here the route switches to the other side of the valley. The return

The route sets off from the southern part of Landeck towards the west, first along an uphill asphalt road and then turning off left along well-established forest trails in the wood. Once the first ascent has been completed, you can enjoy the first descent down to the Tobadiller Straße road. But this breather is short-lived and from here it’s time to put some energy into the pedals to complete the long 360 m of altitude to Giggl. One last bend and the terrain becomes a fun single trail, using up any last energy reserves you might have

on the downhill stretch from the Waldkapelle – the highest point on the route. The up and down flows on the Singletrail Tobadill (page 100 – very challenging in parts) are definitely a reward for the effort invested in getting here. The single trail ends in Frödenegg and the final 3 km downhill from See to the Medrigjochbahn cable car follow forest paths initially and then an asphalt road.

Just a small elevation gain of 40m altitude and the biking fun can begin! This short but magnificent single trail starts out in Giggl and crosses the Gigglbach river until it finally leaves the forest area in Frödenegg where it ends. From the highest point at the Waldkapelle, the route follows a gentle and even rootcovered path along to the Hintergigglbach which can be crossed via a bridge – pure adventure! Just 100 m further, the gradient of the trail changes and it
