Pitztal Bike 614

Start
Mittelberg (1733m)
Finish
Bahnhof Imst-Pitztal (718m)
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.
