Technical Ascent to Pfitscher Joch

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Very beautiful, challenging path to the Pfitscher Joch. Partly with pushing sections due to steps uphill, but these are easy to overcome with wooden troughs for the bike.

First day of this MTB tour between Italy and Austria. Long but amazing ascent in Pfitsch to the pass of the same name and descent into the Zillertal to Ginzling

June 16, 2022,Etappe 5 Alpencross 2022: nach Sterzing

Another water fight over the Pfitscherjoch. We weren't the only ones who froze up, pushed, lifted and got loads of water... Down it was a real curve highlight. All in all a very nice experience.

With that, the 5th and last stage of our Alpine Crossing from Abtenau to Sterzing was done. Altogether it was about 7500 hm and 320 …

July 18, 2023,Pfitscher Joch - von Mayrhofen 🚆 bis Sterzing 🚆

The weather changed very quickly on the Pfitscher Joch. A heavy thunderstorm moved into the Pfitsch valley while I was cycling towards St. Jakob. I had to …

July 17, 2021,3. Etappe - Von Mayrhofen nach Sterzing via Pfitscherjoch

We learn three things from today:
1. There are even Hertha fans (in the Alps).
2. They do exist, apparitions of Mary.
3. The first technical defect has appeared.
As a reminder: yesterday was a bit over. 2 hours of pure rain, clear water until nei oaschklumps - unforgettable moments through Gerlos along luxury hotels with this feeling in your …
