The Tour
Anyone attempting the mountain bike route to the three alpine huts should be in good shape. However, it is rewarded with a unique panorama and a beautiful mountain backdrop.
The start of the route is at the Sportzentrum Längenfeld. From there, you follow the Ötztaler Radweg (No. 11) downhill. Through the hamlets of Längenfeld, you soon reach the turnoff to Wurzberg Alm. The gravel road leads upwards in countless switchbacks. Fortunately, the forest provides some shade. After just under 4 kilometers, Wurzbergalm offers the first opportunity to stop for refreshments. It then continues towards Stabele Alm and Innerberg Alm. Soon the forest boundary is reached. Here you get an unobstructed view of the Ötztal mountain world. Further switchbacks provide an entertaining ride and build anticipation for the descent. Shortly before Stabele Alm, you pass the highest point of the route at 2,010 meters. Just a short dip, and the destination at Innerberg Alm is reached. You return to Längenfeld via the same path.
This route runs along developed paths and can be easily ridden with a motorized e-mountain bike or a classic mountain bike without motor assistance.
