The 26th Bike Transalp is the grand tour of mountain biking, traversing the Alps from Ehrwald in Tirol to Arco on the shores of Garda Lake in Italy in seven days.
This is a bike expedition over the Alps, the rooftop of Europe. Spectacular mountain bike trails, breathtaking vistas, amazing mountain passes, picturesque villages and towns and cyclists from over 40 countries create an exceptional atmosphere and make it a perennial favourite in the mountain bike world. The course crosses the Alps from north to south and totals 520 kilometers, and for most of it, 500 teams of two are either going up or coming down.
Total climbing is 16,000 meters, and riders can expect to cross one or more mountain passes each day, for seven days. In its 26th year in 2024, the race across mountainous terrain starts in Tirol, in Ehrwald at the heart of Zugspitz Arena. Day one brings riders to Imst. The route continues to Nauders and over the border to Reschensee Lake in Italy’s South Tyrol and along Bormio, Malé and Valle del Chiese to Arco on the shores of Garda Lake. The scenery is stunning, but it is the great feeling of achievement and the adrenaline that will be a long-lasting memory!
