Mountain Bike Ride
Sulztal - Amberger Hütte

Route 694 begins at the Aqua Dome spa in Längenfeld and leads along the Albin-Egger-Lienz-Fischbachpromenade in an easterly direction. Cross over the stream after a few metres and, on the Ötztalstraße road, continue north. At the roundabout, take the first exit (right) onto the Grieser Straße and follow the steep switchbacks uphill. The road leads 5.4 kilometres into the Sulztal Valley, via Grantbichl and the Unterlehner Fischbachalm hut, to the Gries place of pilgrimage. Pass through Gries. After the car park at the start of the settlement, cross the small stream called the Winnebach and continue for 1.2 kilometres through the Sulztal Valley. At almost 1,680 metres above sea level there is a bridge over the Fischbach stream onto the other side. After the bridge, follow the forest trail straight on uphill. Take the corner and, at the next crossroads, don't head towards Nisslalm but instead take route 694 on further into the Sulztal Valley towards the Amberger Alm hut. After 2 kilometres you will see the Sulztalalm hut. From there it is just 2.3 kilometres and 240 vertical metres to the Amberger Hüte hut at 2,134 metres above sea level. Shortly before you get there you will reach the Hintere Sulztalalm hut (closed). The route back to Längenfeld leads from the Amberger Hütte back along the way you came. At the crossroads to the Nisslalm, stay on the left-hand side of the Fischbach stream. Opposite Gries, pass the Tiroler Hütte and keep heading out of the valley through the Nederwald forest. Shortly before you reach Längenfeld you will cross the Alzenrinne and then the Söhrinne before passing Brand, below the Brandalm hut, and descending via switchback corners to Längenfeld.
