Cycling day trip from Achenkirch to Jenbach

Set off from the charming village of Achenkirch, nestled at the northern tip of Lake Achensee—a popular spot for swimming and boating. This scenic ride to Jenbach takes you on a 21 km journey through the lower Tyrolean Alps, perfect for those who love quiet roads and a good mix of terrains.

You'll cruise mostly downhill (with some short climbs—about 345 m total ascent) as you leave the mountains behind and descend more than 690 meters, swapping alpine views for lush valleys. Most of the route rolls along peaceful paved roads and quiet tracks, with the occasional stretch of gravel. There’s hardly any busy traffic, so you’ll really get to soak in the scenery.

Jenbach, your finish line, is known for its historic steam trains—including the Achensee Railway, one of the world’s oldest cog railways. Treat yourself to a wander around town or even hop a train if you’re feeling adventurous! A great route for riders looking for a little thrill and a lot of Tyrolean charm.
