Description

A beautiful tour off the beaten track, the two quiet high valleys of Kurzer and Langer Grund. 

Route:
From Kufstein it goes along the Innradweg to Kirchbichl. Then keep left towards Hopfgarten. On the old Brixental road you pass through the first village in the Brixental. Continue along the main road, through the railway underpass and then straight on from the main road towards Kelchsau. From here continue along the road until you finally reach the toll station. Here you can decide which of the two valleys to tackle first. Afterwards you go back the same way. Via a small detour, you can still "take" a very steep ascent over the Glantersberg. The way back leads over the higher situated village Itter and Söll and finally the new Eiberg cycle track back to the starting point.
