We want to enjoy the ride together, chat along the way, take photos, change flat tyres and then wait for each other at the intermediate stops. Everyone rides at their own pace, in groups or alone. It’s the shared experience that counts, not speed. However, those who want to be fast and take on the steep ramps in record time despite the high gear ratios are also very welcome. And with the additional loops, they will gain more metres in altitude and burn more calves.

TOGETHER ON THE ROAD
We want to enjoy the ride together, chat on the way, take photos, change the flat tyres and then wait for each other at the intermediate stops at Hotel Alpenland and Wintermatte-Beizli. Everyone rides at their own pace, in groups or alone. It’s the shared experience that counts, not the speed. However, those who want to ride fast and take on the steep ramps in record time despite the large gear ratios – are also very welcome. And with the additional loops, they get more metres in altitude and burning calves.
