Road bike tour 5 fingers tour of the Wipp Valley’s tributary valleys

Description

One of the longest and most challenging road bike tours in the Innsbruck area. Conquer the five picturesque tributary valleys that lead off the Wipp Valley in a single day. The route features quiet mountain roads and idyllic alpine guesthouses for stops along the way. 

The tour leads south out of Innsbruck through the districts of Pradl and Amras. The route passes Ambras Castle and the villages of Aldrans and Lans before arriving at Patch. From there, it continues along the Römerstraße road to the Wipp Valley. The tour is challenging and has a few steep sections. It covers a total of 2,600 vertical metres and takes riders to some wonderful settings: pristine valleys, alpine views and clear air make this tour a delight.
 
The tour can be shortened at any time by leaving out one or more of the tributary valleys. Alternatively, anyone with energy to spare can extend the tour from the village of Gries. From the Obernberg Valley, it is possible to do the Brenner Pass, which adds ten kilometres and an additional 200 vertical metres.
