Cycling & Mountain Biking
EXPERIENCE SPORTIVE DIVERSITY AT THE BIKE HOTEL IN THE ÖTZTAL VALLEY
Cycling in the Ötztal Valley, discovering the beauty of the Alps
The Naturhotel Waldklause is the perfect starting point for cycling in the Ötztal Valley, as well as for mountain bike and race bike tours. We are a quality-certified Bike Hotel and member of the Association of Cycle and Mountain Bike Accommodations, the most exclusive of all Mountain Bike Hotels. The mountain massif of the Ötztal Alps, with its around 250 three-thousand-metre peaks, is not only a paradise for hikers, but for mountain bikers as well. Motivated cyclists and bikers can look forward to 900 kilometres of marked cycle and mountain bike trails in the impressive landscape of the Ötztal Valley.
The highlight among the Mountain Bike Hotels
Around the Naturhotel Waldklause you can explore 28 official routes, which all correspond to the mountain bike model of the Federal State of Tyrol and promise pure riding pleasure. They cover a total of 24,465 metres of altitude difference over a distance of 697 km. Among them are flat stretches in the wide valley basin as well as challenging trails in the mountains. When exploring the exciting trails at altitudes between 650 to over 3,000 metres, you will surely appreciate the rapid descents that take you directly down to your Bike Hotel in the Ötztal Valley.
Our bike service for you:
- Free mountain bike, e-bike and GPS device rentals
(virtual MTB tours on Google Earth including GPS data) - Guided tours with different levels of difficulty on a regular basis
Perfectly equipped, you can experience the natural beauty of the Ötztal very closely. The Ötztal Trail, the longest route with 135.6 kilometres in length and 2,911 metres in altitude, is particularly impressive. Whoever covers these in stages or even completely can look forward to the perfect regeneration in the NaturSPA of our Naturhotel Waldklause.
