Description

The route begins in Fieberbrunn, from where it first leads gently out of the valley toward St. Johann in Tirol. Along the Kalksteinrunde, the bike path offers beautiful views of the Wilder Kaiser and the surrounding mountains. From St. Johann, the route continues south through the wide Leukental valley toward Kitzbühel. The valley opens up, and the route runs flat and peaceful along meadows and small villages.

Beyond Kitzbühel, the route continues westward into the Brixental Valley. Passing through Kirchberg in Tirol and past rolling hills, you’ll eventually reach Westendorf. On the outskirts of town, the route branches off into the Windautal Valley. Here, the scenery becomes noticeably quieter and more alpine: the road narrows, traffic thins out, and a steady climb leads through wooded slopes and alpine pastures deep into the unspoiled valley. With its pristine landscape and tranquil atmosphere, the Windau Valley provides an atmospheric conclusion to this stage.
