The 35-mile (57 km) Ötztal Cycle Path runs from the Inn Valley to the end of the Ötztal Valley, in Austria’s North Tyrol region. Since 2016, this cycle path has been lovingly extended in several stages and was finally completed in 2018. It leads you through the valley of the same name, which has a remarkably mild climate and offers numerous highlights.

The cycle path starts in the centre of Haiming and leads you through the entire Ötztal Valley to Sölden, which lies at the end. Incidentally, there are two variants of the Ötztal Cycle Path, which differ only minimally from each other in terms of the route.

In this Collection, we show you the 35-mile (57 km) MTB version of the Ötztal Cycle Path, and is divided into four pleasant daily stages. This leaves you plenty of time to take breaks, enjoy beautiful views and explore one or two highlights along the way. Numerous inns and friendly guesthouses round off the Tours. If you like, you can then start the return journey in a relaxed manner by bus, which you can use for free with the Ötztal Inside Summer Card. More information on the benefits of the Ötztal Inside Summer Card can be found at: oetztal.com/summercard.

You can of course complete the entire route on your MTB in one day. It's worth allowing yourself a little more time, though – I promise. So, get on the saddle and off you go! Have fun in the Ötztal!
