Duration: 8 Days / 7 Nights

The Inn-bicycle path leads through outstanding landscapes: the wide Hochtal (valley) of the Oberengadin merges into the big forests of the Swiss National Park. Suddenly the scenery changes: the Austrian Bundesland Tyrol welcomes you with warm hospitality. The program ends in Innsbruck; a stay in the Olympic city is one of the highlights of the Inn-bicycle path.

Partly cycling paths, partly-gravel paths. The stages are a little bit hilly, with two to three middle ascents and a lot of regular down-hills. Before considering this trail, take medical advice on your fitness levels.
