Fresh mountain air and fabulous views of the Central Alps and the Inn Valley await bikers up at the Bayreuther Hütte at 1,576 metres above sea level and the neighbouring Bergalm in the Rofan Mountains. The ride begins in Münster and leads up a steep and winding trail through the forest to the huts. Those who still have the energy can leave their bike at the hut and walk to the Zireiner See lake – or even climb the Sagzahn (2,228m) mountain.

Trail description
The ride begins in the Grünbach district of Münster, at the Asten bus stop. A tarmac path (route 332) leads north into the forest before changing after 840 metres right onto a steep gravel trail. Follow the signs for Bayreuther Hütte and Sonnwendjoch. There is little time to warm up – kilometre one has sections of up to 18%. As you wind your way through the thick forest there are a few clearings every now and then revealing fine views of the Inn Valley. After a while you will reach an area of open meadowland at the foot of the mighty Vorderes Sonnenwendjoch mountain. From here is is just two kilometres to the Bayreuther Hütte (1,576 metres) offering great views of the Inn Valley far below. Return along the same route.
