Cycling day trip from Scharnitz to Thaur

Ready for an alpine adventure on two wheels? Start your journey in Scharnitz, a charming Austrian town nestled near the border with Germany and known for its proximity to the Karwendel mountain range. This is a fantastic spot for those who love nature and history, as Scharnitz was once a Roman settlement!

Pedal away from Scharnitz with the crisp mountain air in your lungs, and get ready to cover just under 70 kilometers on a bike ride that's as diverse as it is scenic. You'll experience a bit of everything—from smooth asphalt to crunchy gravel paths. With 73% of the route gracing asphalt roads, your ride is mostly smooth, but get ready for some fun on the gravel stretches.

The ride features a mix of tracks, cycleways, and quiet roads, allowing you to enjoy the picturesque surroundings without battling too much traffic. You'll climb a total of about 793 meters, reaching a maximum elevation of nearly 1,277 meters before descending towards Thaur.

Finish your ride in Thaur, a delightful town at the foot of the Nordkette mountain range, famous for its traditional Austrian architecture and rich customs. Remember to reward yourself with some local treats and perhaps explore the fairytale-like Thaur ruins nearby! Enjoy the ride!
