Route description

As already mentioned, the mountain bike tour starts in Taisten and takes mountain bikers along tarmac roads as well as forest and meadow paths into the Gsiesertal valley. Cyclists first pass the hamlet of Schindelholz and then continue to Außeopichl and Oberpichl and finally from Kargruben to St. Martin in Gsies.
The route continues along the Pidigbach stream to the subway at the sports field and continues on the left side of the valley to the end of the valley in St. Magdalena in Gsies.
