The last stage of the Tirol Mountain Bike Safari is a demanding ride that includes 700 meters of epic climbing and 1,500 meters of thrilling descending. It takes bikers through another world class setting of breathtaking grandeur, from mighty mountains and luxuriant forests to gentle pastoral meadows and picture-postcard villages. At the end of this Best-of-Tirol day, scenic Walchsee Lake is a great place for cooling off and for taking a well-earned rest.
Trail description: From St. Johann the trail follows the valley floor to the north, before climbing up through dense forest behind Erpfendorf. Having pedalled uphill for nearly 400 meters, the first descent brings you down to Kössen and to the base of Hochkössen Gondola.
Ride the gondola to the top terminal where stunning views of the foothills of the Alps await. A wonderful panoramic trail snakes its way down to the valley and skirts Riedberg Mountain before eventually reaching the village of Walchsee and the lake of the same name.
