St. Moritz – Innsbruck
The Inn Bike Path

An artist, equipped with brush and colours, inspired from the impressionism, would need weeks for this tour.
Too multiplex would be the sensual impressions, too magnificently the panorama in the villages of the Engadin like Zernez, Susch and Lavin.


The Inn-bicycle path leads through outstanding landscapes: the wide Hochtal (valley) of the Oberengadin merges into the big forests of the Swiss National Park. Suddenly the scenery changes: the Austrian Bundesland Tyrol welcomes the bikers with warm hospitality.
The bike tour ends in Innsbruck; a stay in the Olympia city is one of the highlights of the Inn-bicycle path.

 

 

Features
Partly on bike paths, partly on wood and gravel paths. The stages are a little bit hilly, with two to three middle ascents and a lot of regular down hills. Also for children from the age of 12 (high amount of cycling enthusiasm required).

Bookable as individual single tour, 7 days / 6 nights or 8 days / 7 nights, approximately 225 kilometers. Dates for guided group tours on reques
