Description:
The Tannheimer Valley has been known among cyclists for a long time, as in 2001 the convoy of the Austrian Cycling Tour passed through the valley. In 2005, the cycling professionals of the Bayern Rundfahrt came during the opening stage on Tyrolean soil and were rewarded with the mountain classification of the Tannheimer Valley and the mountain classification of Jungholz. Even professionals were struck by the scenic charms of the "probably the most beautiful high valley in Europe." Lush green meadows, Lake Haldensee, and a beautiful mountain backdrop accompanied the cyclists on their competition kilometers. Thus, the Tannheimer Valley has also established itself as an ideal region for targeted training or extensive routes. "The Tannheimer Valley is an ideal starting point for long road bike routes into the surrounding regions, such as Lake Constance or the Arlberg," says Michael Keller, managing director of the Tannheimer Valley Tourism Association and former mountain bike national coach of Austria. Cyclists find a wide range of accommodations in the Tannheimer Valley besides the ideal starting point. From 5-star hotels to private rooms, you can choose your accommodation. After a nice ride, relax your soul and recharge your energy. - The Tannheimer Valley
