Tour description

Through the Talbach Gorge, the route leads comfortably into the Untertal valley and continues on partly asphalt mountain roads up to the Planai middle station. Here, the highlight of the tour begins with the Uphill Flow Trail. This easy-to-ride trail climbs at a moderate gradient through mountain forests and a high moor.

Always wear a helmet and appropriate clothing.
Ride only on paved and signposted paths.
Watch out for traffic at crossroads and road junctions!
Be considerate and give way.
Avoid blocking the rear wheel and thus help to maintain the paths.
Control your speed downhill!
Protect the environment and don't leave rubbish, etc. in the mountains!

In an emergency, please dial the following emergency calls: No. 140 - Mountain Rescue

No. 112 - Euro Emergency Call

The right bike: mountain bike or gravel bike with studded tyres, racing bikes are not recommended.

Breakdowns can happen - but rarely at the doorstep of one of the numerous service points: a basic kit of tools and accessories therefore never hurts! Spare inner tube and/or repair kit, universal spanner, air pump, brake and shift cable, as well as a screwdriver can never hurt.

Shorten the tour by taking the gondola up to the middle station.
