Quickie Tegernsee - Pustertal Valley

We pass through the Tegernsee mountains and cycle over Wildbad Kreuth towards Erzherzog-Johann Klause. Along the Brandenberger Ache we get to Brixlegg. After a short stretch along the river Inn we do a little detour into the Alpbachtal and cycle past the Reither Kogel over a mountain path into the Ziller Valley. The last kilometers we cycle along the riverbank of the Ziller to Stumm.

During the first stage we smoothly roll along the Zillertal cycle route. After about 16 km we reach Mayrhofen. Here the ascent up to the Pfitscherjoch on 2246 m (more than 1600 m at a stretch) starts. From Ginzling we cycle on the old street towards the restaurant Breitlahner. Behind the restaurant we turn right to the marked mountainbike route which leads us to the Schlegeis reservoir. Behind the reservoir, the ascent up to the Pfitscher Joch awaits us. A hiking trail winds its way from the Schlegeis reservoir up to the Pfitscher Joch Hut. Arrived at the hut, we also finally arrived in Italy and celebrate our border crossing with a creamy cappuccino. We then ride on a gravel descent that is fun to the Pfitscher Valley, the „sunny side“ of the Alps.

Today we add up one more highlight: an uphill of the highest level, which leads us about 1200 m of altitude at a stretch to the highest point of our tour: the Pfunderer Joch. But don’t be afraid: We have the whole day and can enjoy this ascent to the full. The summit happiness at 2570 m and the endless downhill into the Weitental reward us for all our efforts. We stay the night in Mühlbach and celebrate our Transalp.
