CYCLING HOLIDAY TIP OF THE MONTH – BY ROAD BIKE IN VORARLBERG

Its close proximity to Germany, Switzerland and the Principality of Liechtenstein makes the Vorarlberg region a stroke of genius. Influences from four countries converge here. Nestled between the Arlberg and Lake Constance, the small but extremely fine Bregenzerwald offers a unique blend of seclusion and hospitality.

Ideal starting point for road and gravel bikers

With its many valley entrances and exits, the Bregenzerwald is the ideal starting point for the most diverse tours: sometimes a challenging ride over the Hochtannberg Pass, over the Faschinajoch or the Furkajoch. Gravel fans can discover the region cross-country on gravel roads, over meadows, old farm tracks and forest trails. Whether on asphalt or off-road, the route always leads past rustic alpine huts and dairies, through alpine meadows and small villages. Those looking for the ultimate Vorarlberg challenge, on the other hand, will find what they are looking for on the 3-pass tour. This one takes you over the Hochtannberg Pass and through the challenging Flexen Pass to the Kloster Pass with its 2,000-meter-high scenery. Exactly what avid cyclists are looking for when they come to train in the Alps. The region has it all, short steep climbs, long tough cols and quiet flatter valley roads. A great tip for those who also want to bring some new adventure and discovery to their training stages.
