Alpine pasture / hut / mountain restaurant
Anyone attempting the mountain bike route to the three alpine huts should be in good shape. However, it is rewarded with a unique panorama and a beautiful mountain backdrop.
Sporty bike handling skills and defensive riding behavior are required due to some steep ascents and more difficult descents, and the demands on fitness and riding technique are rated as medium. The focus is on sporty, active (pleasure) cycling.
Appropriate equipment such as breathable clothing and weather-appropriate outdoor gear, bicycle helmet, gloves, sunglasses, and a GPS device or maps. On bike rides without opportunities to stop for food, sufficient provisions are necessary.
The start of the route is at the Sportzentrum Längenfeld. From there, you follow the Ötztaler Radweg (No. 11) downhill. Through the hamlets of Längenfeld, you soon reach the turnoff to Wurzberg Alm. The gravel road leads upwards in countless switchbacks. Fortunately, the forest provides some shade. After just under 4 kilometers, Wurzbergalm offers the first opportunity to stop for refreshments. It then continues towards Stabele Alm and Innerberg Alm. Soon the forest boundary is reached. Here you get an unobstructed view of the Ötztal mountain world. Further switchbacks provide an entertaining ride and build anticipation for the descent. Shortly before Stabele Alm, you pass the highest point of the route at 2,010 meters. Just a short dip, and the destination at Innerberg Alm is reached. You return to Längenfeld via the same path.
Travel comfortably and safely by train to the Ötztal train station. The final stop or exit point is the ÖTZTAL station. Afterwards, you can conveniently and quickly travel through the entire valley to your desired destination by public bus service or local taxi companies!
