Cycling day trip from Garmisch-Partenkirchen to Landeck

Get ready for an epic ride from Garmisch-Partenkirchen, a classic Bavarian town nestled below Germany’s tallest peak, to the picturesque alpine town of Landeck in Austria! This route packs a punch with around 110 km of riding, and you’ll get your climbing legs in shape—expect over 2,100 meters of ascent as you pedal through the heart of the Alps.

You’ll roll out on mostly paved roads and asphalt, but there’s a good dose of gravel thrown in (about 12%), so wider tires are a bonus. The journey weaves along quiet roads and scenic tracks, ensuring plenty of fresh mountain air and jaw-dropping views. Look out for traditional villages, sapphire rivers, and dramatic mountain backdrops along the way.

Your destination, Landeck, is a lively Austrian town known for its medieval castle and as a gateway to famous Tyrolean ski areas and mountain passes. Don’t forget to treat yourself to some schnitzel or strudel at the finish—after a ride like this, you’ve totally earned it!
