Sporty bike tour to the breathtaking view of the Kirchenkar. A new vantage point offers a fantastic view of the Ötztal and the Alps.
The starting point is in Obergurgl at the Gurgl Carat. In front of the church, follow the path towards the Gurgler Ache. Follow the well-signposted paths through the idyllic meadows of Gurgl until you reach the valley station of the Hochgurglbahn. From there, an exciting ride awaits along the toboggan run before you reach a crucial point: the intersection of routes #689 Hochgurgl-Wurmkogl and #6053 Kirchenkar. Turn left and follow the path to the Kirchenkarhütte, where you reach the highlight of the tour. Enjoy the increasingly impressive backdrop of rugged peaks and majestic glaciers. The descent takes you through a tunnel. Then you'll see the newly built World Cup ski slope for ladies and gentlemen. Upon arrival at the Top Mountain Crosspoint, follow the road until the junction with the toboggan run and experience the indescribable beauty of nature on the way back to Obergurgl.
Travel safe and comfortable with the train to the Ötztal Bahnhof train station. Last stop and exit point is the train station Ötztal Bahnhof. Afterwards you can travel smoothly and quick with the public transport or out local taxi companies through the valley to your desired destination.
