Attraction Hahntennjoch

The Hahntennjoch Road captivates visitors with its 29 hairpin turns and 1,000 meters of elevation gain, connecting the Lech Valley with the Inn Valley, while offering dramatic views of green valleys and barren rocky landscapes in the wild Lech Valley Alps. With almost no tunnels and panoramic views all along the way, it’s a dream come true for lovers of winding roads.

We recommend because:

  • With 29 hairpin turns, spectacular switchbacks, and gradients of up to 18%, the Hahntennjoch Road is one of Tyrol’s most exciting mountain passes.
  • The route between the Lech Valley and the Inn Valley winds through an impressive high-alpine landscape, passing rugged rock faces, green alpine meadows, and scree fields.
  • The mountain pass serves as the starting point for beautiful hikes to the Anhalter Hütte, Falscher Kogel, Namloser Wetterspitze, and Muttekopfhütte.

Description

On about 30 winding kilometers, the pass road connects the Upper Inn Valley with the Tyrolean Lechtal. Especially the eastern ramp from Imst to the summit demands real endurance with gradients of up to 19 percent – a dream for motorcyclists.

From Imst, the road winds through the impressive Lechtaler Alps of rugged rocks and scree. Up to the summit at 1,894 meters above sea level, you conquer 1,000 meters in elevation. In contrast, the western side offers you a gentler backdrop of forests and meadows with the idyllic Bschlabertal. Here, the villages of Pfafflar, Boden, and Bschlabs invite you to linger with cozy places to eat.

The road is open from late May to late October, depending on the weather. In winter, the section between Boden and Imst is closed due to snow.
