エルボーゲンの峠・トップ15

Federal highway without cycle path, cars and motorcycles unfortunately do not use the motorway.

Long climb with mostly moderate gradient.

What a panorama and feeling of achievement to have made it over the pass by bike.

One of many ways to cycle up the Brenner Pass: Starting from Innsbruck, you'll cover a total of 36.4 kilometers on your way up. The route is relatively pleasant on asphalt, with an average gradient of 2.2 percent. A plus for Alpine lovers: You'll cycle through picturesque Tyrolean villages time and again.

Contrary to my expectations, it's almost deserted! Sure, you'll find the speeding Italian Puntos, the gravel trucks, and the irritated family fathers here, but everything's quite humane. A beautiful route.

Very worth seeing, you have to see it

Great going downhill, we recommend going uphill via the Roman road (Igls-Matrei) - significantly less traffic

Distance: 36.8km with 827m of gradient at 2.1% average slope. A very long climb that goes up the entire valley from Insbruck to the border with Italy in the famous and historic Brenner Pass. It is a climb to enjoy the Austrian landscapes of Tyrol and the tranquility of the roads. Although it seemed very tedious to me before doing it, I have to admit that it was very enjoyable and I really enjoyed it with my friend Jon Uncilla.
