Mountain bike route: Obergurgl - Lenzenalm - Obergurgl
A moderate (e-)bike route in Gurgl. After warming up on the asphalt, continue on a gravel path after leaving the federal road. The following elevation meters to Lenzenalm are quite evenly distributed. Stopping and enjoying the view is worthwhile, as opposite the Timmelsjoch road climbs up to one of the highest Alpine passes.
