FlintPhoto: Ötztal
Varied bike route into the beautiful Polles Valley, a side high valley of the Ötztal.
The starting point for this varied route is the Sportzentrum Längenfeld. From there, you ride toward the campsite and follow the Ötztal bike path (No. 11) downstream toward Huben. At the football field, turn right and follow the signs toward Feuerstein. Right from the start, it gets steep and challenging. After some effort, you reach a junction. Here you can take the left path for a detour to the Alpengasthof Feuerstein. To reach Polles Alm, however, follow the forest road that leads left from the small chapel. At the front Polles Alm, fresh, chilled beer is waiting for you. But the refreshment has to wait until the descent. Those who stay on the saddle for the following 3.5 km have conquered one of the steepest climbs in the region.
