Cycling day trip from Mayrhofen to Ried

This spectacular ride kicks off in Mayrhofen, a vibrant Tyrolean village famous for its alpine charm and as a ski and hiking hub. You'll be pedaling south through the stunning Zillertal valley, surrounded by jagged peaks – don’t forget to take in the scenery!

The route covers about 148 km and is pretty challenging, with over 3,200 meters of climbing, so be ready for those mountain passes. Thankfully, most of your journey rolls along paved roads, many of which are quiet and perfect for soaking up the views. Expect some sections on local tracks and designated cycleways too.

After some serious pedal pushing through alpine landscapes, you’ll make your way down towards Ried, a peaceful spot in the Oberinntal, perfect for a relaxing finish. This area is less touristy, giving you a nice contrast to busy Mayrhofen.

Keep in mind the elevation – the highest point is above 1,400 meters, so pack for changing weather and bring plenty of snacks. Mayrhofen’s energy at the start and Ried’s tranquility at the end make this a rewarding alpine adventure. Happy cycling!
