Mountain Bike Safari-Stage 03: Landeck – Imst

Trail description: The route starts in the small town of Landeck, situated at the confluence of Sanna and Inn Rivers, with a mellow ride along paved valley roads to Zams. From there, a climb brings you up to Rifenal and next up to the hamlet of Falterschein, with the trail climbing steadily with only a couple of short, steeper sections to negotiate. From Falterschein, a fun descent curves its way down to Schönwies and deposits you at the Inn Cycle Path which you follow until the route crosses the autobahn slightly beneath the small town of Imst. From there, it’s a steady climb, gaining some 980m of height, on a trail that cuts up the hillside through a magnificent stand of mature trees in hairpins and brings you into really dense forest.
