Which bike type do you belong to? Do you want to cycle leisurely with the family, enjoy the countryside or seek a challenge on mountain tours with off-road passages? Cycling enthusiasts are guaranteed to find the right thing for their needs in the Tyrolean Zugspitze Arena region. Around 3,000 kilometres of cycling routes with over 100 designated tours of all levels of difficulty await cycling fans – regardless of whether they are pleasure cyclists or sporty, ambitious bikers. New in the programme for freestyle fans: E-bike trail adventure. With a bike guide, it’s off into the countryside on fast tyres over roots, sticks and stones. A little preparation increases the riding fun, which is why technical training is part of the programme.
Outdoor training – all natural!
It all looks so relaxed and easy! Fitness trainer Robin welcomes his guests to the outdoor programme, where they train mainly with their own body weight on completely natural obstacles. Pull-ups on strong branches, climbing walls made of wood, crawling under tree trunks, a few push-ups, then simply running across a forest meadow… Everyone according to his or her possibilities, no one is overtaxed, play and fun come first.
Climbing – the Zugspitze awaits
This is an adventure for children (from 8 years) and adults, where basic climbing skills are taught. In addition to skill exercises, active and passive abseiling are practised, for example, as well as crossing obstacles, rope bridges and gorges. An easy to moderately difficult via ferrata awaits participants on the mountain adventure on the Wassersteig. Particularly popular among the many tours on offer is the classic ascent of the Zugspitze, Germany’s highest mountain. The walking and climbing time is around six hours, and the level of difficulty is rated easy. According to the mountain guides, the 1,800 metres in altitude that have to be overcome are less of a technical problem and more of a physical one. The way back is then quite relaxed to compensate: The Tyrolean Zugspitzbahn takes you comfortably back to the Romantik Hotel in Ehrwald.
