Cycling day trip from Landeck to Nauders

Looking for an epic ride through the Austrian Alps? Start in Landeck, a charming little town nestled by the Inn River and surrounded by mountain peaks. Right from the get-go, you’ll be climbing—this route racks up a serious 1,900+ meters of ascent over a bit more than 54 km. Expect your legs to feel the burn!

You’ll follow primarily paved and asphalt surfaces along varied roads, including some busier stretches, but also winding quiet roads and tracks with mountain views at every turn. The route takes you past traditional Tyrolean villages and alpine landscapes as you head steadily south.

Your destination is Nauders, a historic border village perched just before Italy and Switzerland. It’s famous among cyclists for its proximity to the Reschen Pass and scenic mountain biking routes. Grab a strudel or recharge with a coffee before exploring the historic fortress or taking in the views of the surrounding peaks. This ride’s a true test, but the stunning scenery and classic alpine atmosphere make it all worthwhile!
