Example of a blue route
Schönachtal
The ideal
mountaibike tour for beginners: The 11 km lenght of the route and the
elevation gain of 200 m are suitable for those who are not trained
mountainbikers. The simple to drive gravel road in the Schönachtal is only
moderately steep. The scenerey though is one pf the hoghlights of the
region. The Issalm, the reversal point of the tour, is surrounded by
majestic rock formations and at the end of the valley the Schönachglacier
and the Zillerkopf loom high in the sky. The tops of the Schönachschneid
and the Zillerkopf are at almost 3000 m altitude. The Lackenalm is both on
the way up and the way down a very nice place to rest and have something
to eat and/or eat.
From Finkenberg-Dornau
over the
Teufelsbrücke (the devilsbridge, a rare example of ancient Tyrolean timber
construction), followed by some turns and downhill over the
asphalted road over the Jochberg, along the romantic Zemmschlucht and
moderately upwards in the direction of Ginzling. Through the village,
along some small farms and the power plant of Rosshag to Breitlahner. From
the tollbooth at Breitlahner along the forest road to the Schlegeis
reservoir. Directly above the parking area at the Schlegeis-dam you will
find the Dominikushütte. With a stunning view over the lake and the
Schlegeis-glacier you will be spoiled with Tyrolean specialties either on
the sunterrace or in the restaurant.
From the
tollbooth at Schwendberg over a gravel road you will find a route over the
Sidamalm to the Rastkogelhütte. Until the Sidanjoch you have to cope with
a single-trail, which is suitable for the experienced mountainbiker. You
can also drive this single-trail on the way back. From the Rastkogelhütte
to the starting point a gravel and asphalt downhill awaits you.

Almdudler Himmelfahrt
and Höllenritt
Mountain bikers discovered
the potential of the Penken long ago. Freeriders particularly like the
narrow trails – so-called singletracks.The “Himmelfahrt - Ascension Trail”
is of medium difficulty and offers in addition to a slightly easier route,
plenty of varied options for experienced mountain bikers and action
lovers.
The difficulty of the route can be varied with challenging obstacles and
various North Shore elements. Freeriders can test their skills on jumps,
banked curves and wave lines. Only natural materials such as wood, earth
and stone were used for the construction of the North Shore obstacles. Of
course, all obstacles can be easily avoided by taking the "chickenway"
out.
At the end you can either carry on cycling through the Horberg Valley on
existing bike trails back down to your original starting point at the
Penken Lifts, or take the „Almdudler Höllenritt - Ride to Hell“ trail back
down to the valley. This was specifically created for advanced downhill
mountain bikers.
