Bike Everest Tirol
****
Across two national borders and up Mount Everest in seven days - at least according to the altimeter. This long-distance bike tour takes trained and more leisurely e-mountain bikers over 8,848 meters in altitude from Garmisch-Partenkirchen through the Tyrolean Alps to the Plamort high moor on the Reschen Pass.
A varied long-distance cycle tour with a particularly high elevation gain and sights for experienced, fit mountain bikers or more leisurely e-bikers. However, the routes, which are at least moderately difficult, require physical and technical fitness from everyone. Seven 25 to 60-kilometre stages lead from Garmisch-Partenkirchen to Plamort on the Reschen Pass. The route passes through nature parks with waterfalls, gorges, mountain pastures and castles. There are also famous peaks such as the Zugspitze and the Ortler along the route.
Description: This seven-day mountain bike adventure brings the world's highest mountain to the heart of the Alps – or at least the 8,848 vertical metres of climbing from sea level to the peak of Mount Everest. The route measures 285 kilometres in length and takes riders from Garmisch-Partenkirchen in Germany to Plamort on the Austrian-Italian border. Bikers relying 100% on pedal power will have to be pretty fit to complete the Bike Everest Tirol, while those taking on the challenge with an e-bike can afford to take things a little easier. The route leads through several nature parks and offers fine views of some of the most famous mountains in the Alps, including the Zugspitze and the Ortler. Lakes, waterfalls, canyons, lush meadows, huts, castles and medieval fortresses provide lots to see and explore along the way. The Bike Everest Tirol is best completed between May and October. It can be ridden all in one or split up into several shorter stages. A special package is on offer for riders wishing to ride the route from start to finish in one holiday.
