Biking & Mountain biking

Anyone who loves to bike will find his biking eldorado in the Sellrain valley! The Inntal cycle path through the Inntal valley is 150 kilometres long, and you can access it in Kematen or Unterperfuss. The route follows the river Inn, which flows from the far west of Tyrol to the far east. You can cycle against the current and visit the Tyrolean uplands, or follow the river to the state border in Kufstein. The latter version can be enjoyed without steep ascends – perfect for a family trip or older people.

If you want to go steeply up and fast down, we might have the right thing for you. You can take your mountain bike and cycle from Oberperfuss up to the Rosskogelhütte hut. The route is one of the most popular biking routes in the area. Alternatively, you can take the ski lift up, which saves you the 9 kilometres and 920 metres of altitude difference.

Here you’ll find a great variety of bike tours in the Sellrain valley and the surrounding region.
