Description

Bike:

The beautiful mountain bike route starts in the village center of Alpbach and leads downhill. At the farm "Bischofen" you take MTB route 304 uphill to Bischofer Alm and further to Bischofer Joch (approx. 1 hour). Here you leave your bike!

Hike:

The hike then leads steeply uphill about 250 meters in altitude quickly towards Gratlspitz. (west side) After about 40 minutes you reach a cosy clearing with a rest area and the summit cross of "Hochstrickl" at 1,787 m. The effort of the climb is rewarded with a fantastic view!

Tip:  Hochstrickl is still a little insider tip. If you haven’t had enough yet, you can continue to the popular Gratlspitze. (approx. 1 hour)

The return route is along the same path back to the e-bikes. Then continue downhill along the familiar route to the Bischofen junction and via "Trat" back to the village center at the starting point. 

The Bischofer Käsalm offers a great place to stop (check opening times)
