Description

One of the autumn classics! But be warned: be sure to take enough to drink even in autumn because the southern slopes of the Zirler get very hot in the sun.
The ride from Zirl up to the Kalvarienberg-Sattel col is a challenging section. From the Zirler Mähder pastures, it gets cooler and then the road climbs further uphill and into the Brunn Valley. From there, the ride gets a little easier as it crosses the Pfaffersmahd pastures and then continues through the beautiful larch meadows to the Magdeburger Hütte mountain hut. At the hut, you can enjoy a well-earned break and bite to eat with stunning views of the Tux and Stubai Alps.

Highlights:
The beautiful Zirler Mähder pastures. The stunning landscapes of the Karwendel Nature Park. The delicious traditional food and home-made alpine farm products such as Graukäse (Tyrolean grey cheese) and Speck (dry-cured ham).

Our tip:
There are also high alpine hikes in the area –  only for experienced mountaineers.
