High up in the mountains of Eastern Switzerland, springs the Inn River. The bubbling mountain stream soon becomes several lakes before flowing wildly into the Engadine. Once it reaches Austria, the Inn meanders through its wide valley, traversing Tyrol from east to west, before becoming a stately river in Bavaria. In Passau, the Inn finally flows into the Danube, together with the Ilz. On the Inn Cycle Path, you get to be part of the water’s exciting journey through the Alps to the river’s mouth.

In this Collection, you accompany the Inn for more than 550 kilometres (340 miles) from Maloja to Passau, passing through three countries and discovering unique natural landscapes, historic and lively cities, and marvellous views of high mountains and idyllic rivers. We have divided the Inn Cycle Path into 11 stages. You can choose whether you ride the last three stages on the left or right side of the river (we’ve marked them as ‘East Variant’ and ‘West Variant’).

The Inn Cycle Path is mostly signposted, although not everywhere and sometimes not consistently. You start in the Upper Engadine in Maloja which is easy to reach with public transport. From here, you cycle along the Upper Engadine lakes to Scuol in the Lower Engadine. Here, the saying goes "there are eight months of snow and four months are cold". So when you’re preparing for your trip, bear in mind that you start at an altitude of over 1,800 metres (5,900 feet) and that it can snow even in August. Although you always follow the River Inn, the stages are not always flat. The Inn has carved deep through the mountains and the cycle path sometimes runs high above the river. This means that you are treated to breathtaking views though!

After crossing the Engadine, you will cycle through Tyrol. Innsbruck, the capital of Tyrol, is the largest city on the Inn. At Kufstein, you reach Germany for the first time. Here, the Inn Valley narrows again and the cycle path becomes more hilly. Between Simbach and Passau, the Inn forms the border between Germany and Austria and has become a stately river surrounded by peaceful alluvial. After a good 550 kilometres (340 miles), you finally reach the three-river town of Passau. The Inn Cycle Path ends in this baroque pearl and you can then either return by train or start your next adventure on the Danube Cycle Path.
