Bikepacking from Munich to Innsbruck

Get ready for a beautiful cross-border ride! This route takes you from the vibrant Bavarian capital of Munich all the way down to the alpine charm of Innsbruck, Austria—a journey of about 190 km with nearly 900 meters of ascent. You’ll be rolling out from Munich’s historic heart, famous for its beer gardens and the stunning Marienplatz, before heading south through tranquil countryside and villages.

Most of your path is on smooth surfaces, with the majority being paved or asphalt—perfect for clocking some comfortable kilometers. But there’s a nice mix of quiet roads, tracks, and a sprinkling of gravel to keep things interesting. As you approach the Alps, you’ll notice the scenery shift: lush meadows turn to majestic mountains, eventually guiding you down to Innsbruck, a city known for its winter sports legacy and picturesque medieval center.

Pack snacks, check your brakes for those alpine descents, and make sure your camera’s charged—you’ll want to capture this one!
