Transalp: Five Road Cycling Routes over the Alps

The journey is the destination: rarely does this motto apply better than on a Transalp. We show five routes that climb over classic passes, but also small, adventurous crossings - including variants for more or fewer meters of altitude. From the beginner to the seasoned pass driver, there is something for everyone. The GPS data can be found here, the whole story in TOUR 6/2021 - available at the kiosk or buy online. More racing bike tours at tour-magazin.de/touren.htmlHere you will also find the TOUR app: apps.apple.com/de/app/id698586715 (Apple App Store), play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pressmatrix.tourmagazin (Google Play Store)

    Expert road ride. Very good fitness required. Some segments of this route may be unpaved and difficult to ride.

    Switzerland enables a transalp without having to cross national borders. However, Grimsel and Co. offer enough ramps to reach your own limits.

    

    Passes: St. Anton / Ruppenpass (1,105 m) - Schwägalp (1,300 m) - Vorder Höhi (1,537 m) - Klausen Pass (1,948 m) - Ächerli Pass (1,458 m) - Brünig Pass (1,007 m

    Dolomites, sucked out? No! Legendary passes such as Gardena Pass, Sella Pass, Fedaia and Manghen are always fun:

    In the Eastern Alps, passes over the main ridge are rare. The Großglockner High Alpine Road and the Stallersattel rarely appear in the common Transalp profiles. Then we garnish the whole thing with relatively unknown, but all the more beautiful Dolomite passes.

    

    Passes: Hochschwarzeck (1,040 m) - Hirschbichl
