Mountain Biking in the Zillertal – Trails & Routes Guide
The Zillertal has developed into one of Tyrol's top mountain biking destinations in recent years. The Bike Arena Zillertal encompasses over 800 kilometres of cycling paths and trails for all ability levels. As a mountain guide and passionate biker, I share my best routes here.
The Best Trails at a Glance
The Isskogel Trail in Gerlos is one of the most popular single trails in the region – flowing turns, moderate difficulty and a fantastic view of the surrounding peaks. Advanced riders head to the Wiesenalm Trail in Zell am Ziller: technically challenging with root passages and natural jumps. The trail starts at the Rosenalm cable car summit station.
E-Bike Tours for Leisure Riders
Not everyone wants to prove themselves on steep trails. E-bike tours along the Zillertal cycle path offer relaxed cycling through the entire valley – from Strass to Mayrhofen, mostly flat and perfect for families. Charging stations are found at all key points. E-bike rental starts at around €45 per day.
Rental, Courses and Guided Tours
In Zell am Ziller and Mayrhofen you'll find professional bike rental shops with current models. Beginners can book riding technique courses, and those wanting to discover the best trails can join a guided tour. The cable cars transport bikes – saving you the climb so you can focus on the descent.
"Riding through the Zillertal on a bike is a feeling of freedom that's addictive. The combination of alpine landscape and perfectly maintained trails is unique."
