Crisp 800 height meters complacent as completion? The Timmelsjoch is not only famous for the beautiful, rough mountain landscape. The total of 1,800 meters of altitude from St. Leonhard, 30km away, puts muscles and lungs to the test. You can feel the glacier's proximity and the Jochwind, while one clenched teeth climbs one of the largest continuous slopes of the Alps.

Here every year at the end of August the Ötztal-Radmarathon takes place, which is considered by experts to be extremely difficult. In 1988, the Giro d'Italia led with a stage from Meran over the Timmelsjoch to Innsbruck. The pass separates Austria and Italy and lies at an altitude of 2474 m.

The Timmelsjoch High Alpine Road is open daily from 7 am to 8 pm. Due to the exposed high mountain location, a tour is only possible in the period from about the beginning of June to about the end of October. Driving is at your own risk, a functioning bicycle lighting is mandatory.

Magnificent tour of Längenfeld (place before Sölden) to Timmelsjoch and back. About 75 km. Vehicle can be parked at the swimming pool. Great view from the toll station (no toll for cyclists) above Hochgurgel on the Ötztal Alps and the Ötztal. Medium condition you should have, technically easy, tarred roads and good. I went with my sweetheart 3 years ago in July (birthday). Take a windbreaker with you.

The Timmelsjoch is definitely one of the passes you must have made. Especially the driveway of St. Leonhard (south) impresses with the beautiful views and challenging sections.
