Description

The starting point for this tour can be found at the toll booth for the Zillertaler Höhenstraße at Schwendberg. The route continues from there along a gravel trail past the grounds of Schafleitenalm and Sidanalm alpine farms to the Rastkogelhütte, 2.124 m where you have the opportunity to stop for a break. To get back to the toll booth, ride along the other gravel trail that eventually merges back onto the Zillertaler Höhenstraße - please watch out for hikers here. You will finally return to your original starting point after a few metres on asphalt. This route can also be ridden the other way around!
