Inn Cycle Route

• The two first day stages are in high alpine surroundings within narrow valleys (before Zernez and Guarda there are longer uphill sections) and corresponding cycle path surfaces (natural trails etc), give a slightly more athletic experience.
• From Pfunds in Tyrol it is mostly flat and paved/asphalted bike paths together with little-used secondary roads and local thoroughfares
• Very good, officially marked and signposted cycle network

This climatically favoured small town is located directly on the lake of the same name. If St. Moritz captivates you in the winter with its glamorous highlights in a white winter dress, it also offers a huge amount in the warmer season, with a variety of outdoor sports activities as well as music and cultural festivals. Enjoy the opening of your bike tour in this world-famous metropolis and let yourself be enchanted by the sophisticated atmosphere in a beautiful mountain scenery.

With a short shuttle transfer to the Maloja Pass, you start your day's stage at a good 1,800m above sea level. From the Maloja Pass you can enjoy the unique experience of seeing the source of the Inn bubbling out of the mountain as a virgin tender trickle. Now you follow the playful Inn-Bach (stream) along the Engadin lakes. Today mostly up and downhill on technically demanding forest and meadow paths. Zernez, as the geographical link of the Upper and Lower Engadine, welcomes you to a wide valley floor at the confluence of the Inn and Spöl rivers.

Today's stage is set in the midst of lush mountain meadows in the heartland of the Engadine local culture.
First you cycle along the northern foothills of the oldest European Alpine National Park while always overlooking the shimmering river Inn. Charming villages, especially Guarda, display ‘Sgraffito‘ decorated walls which are real eye-catchers and well-preserved ruins of an ancient settlement in Lavin from the early 12th Century, indicates early Engadine life. Through the border area between the Engadine and the Tyrolean Oberland, the trail leads along the main road for the first 5 km or so and then continues along the cycle path, past the former border and customs station Altfinstermünz, to Pfunds.

In Pfunds - the so-called ‘Engadine window‘ starts today’s stage. Through the "Upper Court" you cycle from Ried over Prutz into the district town of Landeck. High above the Inn River, which rushes through canyons, is the historic Landeck Castle, which tells its story of the glory days of the former trading metropolis on the North / South axis. Via Zams and through the Milser-Auen landscape you reach the well-known town of Imst, which is famous far beyond its borders for the Imst Fasnacht, a traditional Carnival, which is listed as an important Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO.

From Imst to the "heart of the Alps", you will cycle through the Imst Gorge along the Inn river to Römpen and to Römerbadl (Roman Baths) where your cyclist's legs will be able to get refreshed at the ‚Kneippanlage‘ (A soothing pool for your legs) and get ready to visit the Stams Cistercian Monastery. The Romanesque building not only impresses with its early baroque high altar, the monks also know how to prepare tasty dishes using the delicious fruits of the area. In contrast, the Inn cycle path continues through pine forests, along meadows and forest edges, passing the imposing Martinswand (Martins-wall cliffs) until you reach Innsbruck, the provincial capital of Tyrol, on flat cycle paths.

The encounter between mountain and city gives the lively university city an alpine-urban feel for life, the powerfully flowing Inn River adds to the dynamic feel. In both summer and winter, sports and culture enthusiasts will find plenty of opportunities to spend their free time. Embark on a journey of discovery into the historic Innsbruck, always conscious of its identity, with its famous Golden Roof, which poses in the middle of the well-kept medieval old town and the stunning, imperial buildings. If you do not want to rest from your bike today, you will find many options to prove your athleticism in the impressive skyline around Innsbruck.

"Brilliant" experiences are promised on today's stage on the completely flat Inn River bike paths. Continue down the river towards Hall in Tirol, the former salt-mining town with its glorious coinage (Mint) history, and soon reach the iconic giant in the artfully designed park of the Swarovski Crystal World in Wattens. Inspired by the power and radiance of the crystals, the ever-new collection in and around the Giant is a "must see" on this day's stage. Kramsach, famous for its red marble (the Golden Roof in Innsbruck and the Palace of Justice in Munich wear this graceful dress), is also home to a quirky ‘cemetery museum ‘. A fun afternoon is for sure!

Now for the finale! The Inn cycle path takes you further along the Inn River deeper into the Tyrolean lowlands. A visit to the glassblower town of Rattenberg is well worth it, but you should pay attention to your timing, because at noon at the fortress of Kufstein, the world's largest open-air organ can be heard playing! At Kufstein, you say goodbye to the Alps, which you have been your travel companion from the beginning of your journey and cycle mostly on causeways through another nature reserve of the Innauen to your destination Rosenheim. At the confluence of the Mangfall with the Inn rivers, the 3rd largest city in Upper Bavaria, Rosenheim, welcomes you...
