Motorcycle Adventures in Osttirol

between the Großglockner and the Dolomites

Osttirol is a unique starting point and vacation destination for leisure cyclists. Imposing rock faces, cascading waterfalls, and the lush greenery of the alpine pastures welcome cyclists arriving from the north. To the south, the Lienzer Dolomiten beam down at your helmet visor in the bright sunshine.

 

Magnificent scenic routes like the panoramic road "Pustertaler Höhenstraße" with its numerous sights, the Großglockner Road near Kals, or exhilarating mountain passes such as the Kartitscher Sattel or the Staller Sattel lie at your feet in Osttirol. Hot spots in the biking scene—such as the nearby Dolomite passes around Cortina and the famous scenic routes like the Großglockner Hochalpenstraße, the Felbertauern Road, and the Nockalm Road —are easily accessible from here. All of this—and above all, the ideal climate on the southern balcony of the Alps—is sure to make bikers’ hearts race.

Getting to Osttirol

The Felbertauern Highway is the recommended route for traveling to Austria’s sunny south. Even on the busiest travel days of midsummer, it’s surprisingly quiet here. The superbly maintained road—often three lanes wide—winds its way up through long curves to an elevation of 1,632 m, right through the high-alpine landscape of the Nationalpark Hohe Tauern. Within an hour’s drive from Kitzbühel, you’ll have left the 5.3-km-long Felbertauern Tunnel—and with it, all the notorious bad-weather zones—behind you and be winding your way into Osttirol.
