The Tour
A tour for anyone seeking a long, steady climb and a grand mountain panorama – with the Haiminger Alm as a rewarding highlight, where you can take in the view over a portion of Kaiserschmarrn.
The starting point of this bike tour is the Magerbach car park in Haiming. To begin with, you roll along flat and relaxed on the Inn Cycle Path beside the river, past Silz and on to just before Mötz. Here you leave the Inn Cycle Path and follow the road branching off to the left. At the chapel you turn left again and ride through Mötz. That marks the end of the easy part: the route now climbs at a constant, pleasantly rideable gradient along the wooded forest road up to a point above Obsteig. A short flat section provides a welcome chance to catch your breath before the next 10 kilometres or so lead continuously uphill.
The destination is the Haiminger Alm (1,787 m), a quiet mountain hut with panoramic views that invites to take a long break. The panorama over the Inn Valley and the surrounding peaks makes up for every metre of ascent. The return follows the same route: back along the long high-level section, down towards Obsteig and through Mötz into the valley, where you finally roll along the flat beside the Inn back to the Magerbach car park. The long descent on a well-rideable surface is the enjoyable finale of the tour.
