Worthwhile and scenic route around the Horlachbach.
Family-friendly cycling or mountain bike route, also rideable with regular bicycles, with a good road surface (gravel, asphalt, and similar). The gentle ascents do not require special physical fitness or riding skills. The focus is on enjoyable cycling.
Appropriate equipment such as breathable clothing and weather-appropriate outdoor wear, bicycle helmet, gloves, sunglasses, and a GPS device or map material. For bike rides without opportunities to stop at a restaurant, sufficient provisions are necessary.
The starting point of the route is in Niederthai at the Sennhof parking lot, right next to the information center. From there, cycle left, following the paved road up to the Falknerhof hotel. Then turn left again and follow the forest road to the edge of the forest. The mountain bike route continues through the dense forest. Eventually, you reach another forest road. Here there is the option to ride downhill towards the Larstig Alm (managed). Otherwise, cross the creek and cycle downhill again on the Bergmahderweg. Here you can enjoy the breathtaking panorama until you return to the starting point.
Travel comfortably and safely by train to the Ötztal station. The final stop or exit point is the ÖTZTAL station. Afterwards, you can conveniently and quickly travel by public transit or local taxi companies throughout the valley to your desired destination!
