Mountain Bike Ride
Imsterberger Venetalm

This challenging mountain bike ride climbing 900 vertical metres up to the Imsterberger Venetalm requires fitness and determination, but is well worth the effort. The gradient ranges between 12% and 20%, leading through an idyllic forest and lush green meadows all the way to the traditional Venetalm hut offering wonderful views of the Inn Valley, the Pitztal Valley and the Gurgltal Valley.

Trail description

The ride begins in the settlement of Vorderspadegg, which forms part of the village of Imsterberg. Sixty metres after building number 11, south-west of the bus stop Imsterberg Spadegg, you will find a gravel road (route 604) leading in a south-westerly direction into the forest. After 100 metres turn left and follow the trail uphill for one kilometre uphill. After the corner, at 1,240 metres above sea level, turn left again and take the steep trail leading up via a series of switchback corners along the banks of the Brunnbach stream to Almboden. Cross over the pasture and continue uphill through the Amtswald forest. After 215 metres, turn left and follow route 604 via six switchbacks to 1,800 metres above sea level. From there it is just 1.5 kilometres more, in a south-westerly direction, across Venetboden to the Venetalm hut.
