Description

227 kilometers of route, 5,500 meters of elevation, up to 18 percent incline – these are the key figures of the extremely demanding Ötztaler Radmarathon. It is considered one of the sporting highlights for the best amateur cyclists in the world. 4,000 participants from many countries will start in Sölden on the last weekend of August/first weekend of September, cheered on by thousands of spectators. Ötztal, the highlight of Tyrol, does not skimp on steepness during this exhausting cycling marathon: Four high Alpine passes pave the route equipped with almost unimaginable 5,500 meters of elevation gain. From the Ötztal glacier world, the circuit descends to Kühtai (2,020 m), then down to Innsbruck, followed by the Brenner Pass (1,370 m), to Sterzing up to the Jaufen Pass (2,090 m) and as a crowning conclusion the Timmelsjoch (2,474 m). Ready, set, go for the passes...
