The elongated Zillertal,
with its many side valleys, offers all the cyclists a varied and active
holiday. In the sunny valley you will find the optimal conditions to
improve your performance level and then move on to the routes at a higher
altitude.
The routes in the side valleys, up into the directions of the reservoirs
or towards the passes are even for the pros a challenge. The ideal
location of the routes (500-1000 m) has a very positive impact your
condition. For example, the 40 km long "Zillertaler Höhenstrasse" and the
Gerlospass are ideal for training at altitude, but you can also take it
easy and enjoy the stunning surroundings.
