The Pitztal Bike Route is the mountain biker’s lifeline through the entire valley. All connecting routes can be reached via the Pitzal Bike Route and thereby any tours can be planned from your favoured location via this mountain bike route.
Don’t underestimate the 40 km route along the valley as it bristles with minor inclines. Pitztal Bike Route also boasts a few technical sections that can be avoided by making small detours along the state road instead. Should you decide to cycle the route uphill starting from Imst station/Pitztal to Mittelberg, expect a 6 hours cycle tour with an impressive difference in altitude.
It is far easier to cycle the route starting from Mittelberg downhill to Imst station/Pitzal in around 3:30 hours.

Kogel Route - Blue
Start
Glacier Restaurant (2837m)
Finish
Top station Brunnenkogel (t-bar lift) (3244m)
Access:
From the Glacier Restaurant at the top station of Pitztal's Gletscherexpress via a short downhill stretch (about 50 m) to the tour's starting point at the base station of Brunnenkogel T-bar lift.
Characteristics and Description:
Blue Piste – Easy ski tour along the ski run
The ascent route follows exactly the ski piste number 20 on a moderately climbing route, starting at the T-bar lift's base station and leading along the right edge of the ski run (seen from the valley). After about 500 m the ascent route leaves the ski run, joining a separate ascent track towards a short steep slope between the ski piste and the jagged mountain saddle. After this strenuous climb you reach a level area where the route crosses the ski run towards its left side (seen from the valley). Here you continue on the groomed ascent track between the ski lift and the T-bar lift until you get to the lift's top station.

Bike und Hike Taschachhaus 6025
Start
Mandarfen Parkplatz (1675m)
Finish
Materialseilbahn Taschachhaus (2043m)
From the public car park north of the Rifflsee cable car, you drive directly below the Rifflsee valley station over a bridge to the building yard of the Pitztal tourism association. You reach the Taschachalm on a very pleasant ascent. From there, you drive descend slightly in a south-westerly direction than you reach a rough gravel path. You pass the very steep ascent to the Rifflsee, which is not permitted for mountain bikers according to the landowner. It is also strongly discouraged, as the nature and steepness of the path is not suitable for MTBs or e-bikes. Following the signposted gravel path, you reach the Taschachhaus material cable car after approx. 6 km. From there, a wonderful hiking world opens up, which takes you not only to the Taschachhaus but also to the foot of the Taschachferner - walking time approx. 1 hour.
