Mountain biking in the Paznaun region

A paradise for avid cyclists

754 kilometres of mountain biking trails – and at least as many wow moments – are waiting for passionate cyclists in the Tyrolean Alps. The region surrounding Galtür, Ischgl, Kappl and See is one big playground for all those who love to explore the mountains on two wheels.

From beginners to die-hard bike nuts, there’s something for everyone in the Paznaun – thanks to 37 varied tours and trails for all skill levels. On the “bike menu”: classic MTB tours, action-fuelled Enduro tours and ambitious Big Mountain tours.

The region owes its great variety of mountain bike routes to its fantastic location amid the mountains of the Silvretta, Samnaun and Verwall ranges. The breathtaking scenery all around turns every MTB tour into a sightseeing trip across all kinds of terrain.
