Description

The tour is one of the Great Rides and thus belongs to the ten scenic road bike tours in Tyrol. The route leads along the Innradweg to Ebbs and Niederndorf. In Niederndorf itself you cross the village centre and start the ascent to the Niederndorferberg. First in north-western direction to Riedhäusl, then right to Pittlham and on the asphalt road to Mayrhof. Still uphill you continue to the Eiberg. It pays off to pause for a moment and let your gaze wander backwards - here the Inn Valley lies at your feet. Rolling along in the flow for about 40 km you reach Siegsdorf where a minimal ascent awaits you. Via Ruhpolding you then turn back towards Tyrol. Passing the Walchsee and then through Ebbs you finally reach the starting point in Kufstein.

If you feel strong you can take the up to 18% ascent to the Winklmoosalm.
