Description

The starting point of this challenging mountain bike route is located in the village center of Umhausen. From there, follow the signs for the Ötztal bike path (No. 11) upstream until you reach the Ötztaler Ache. Turn right there and follow the signs towards Frischmannhütte. A wide gravel road winds up the west slope of the Ötztal in numerous switchbacks. Passing the front Fundusalm (not operated), you ride, accompanied by the babbling of the Fundusbach, further to the operated Hintere Fundusalm. The last climb leads via a wide gravel road to Frischmannhütte. Once at the top, enjoy the beautiful panorama with a delicious Tyrolean bread snack. Return to Umhausen by the same route.
