5-Valley Mountain Bike Tour (Stage 2) | Bludenz
The 5-Valley Mountain Bike Tour connects the valleys around Bludenz in four stages and offers stunning views of the Rätikon, Verwall, and Lechquellengebirge mountains, as well as the Rhine Valley.
Tour description
Walgau with an overnight stay at the Gerachhaus (1,180 m elevation gain)
From Tschengla/Bürserberg, the route first descends into the Walgau valley before climbing along farm roads in Satteins toward Sender—with the panoramic views as your constant companion! To book an overnight stay at the Gerachhaus, please contact the Burtscher family well in advance.
Directions
Tschengla/Bürserberg – Alpe Rona – Plandedon – Nenzing – Beschling – Rhine Valley Highway Overpass – Schlins – Cycle Route 101 to Satteins – Satteins Church – Gulmweg – Walgau High Road – Bischa – Dünser Älpele – Gerachhaus
Equipment
Mountain bike, helmet, rain and sun protection, as well as food and enough water for each day’s stage. For multi-day tours, we recommend: a change of clothes, toiletries, tools and a spare inner tube, a first-aid kit, a map or route description, and other personal items.
Tips
The 5-Valley Tour is a moderately difficult mountain bike tour and is therefore not recommended for absolute beginners. However, it is certainly manageable for novice mountain bikers. If necessary, difficult trails can be bypassed, and if it really isn’t possible, you can always push your bike for a short distance.
The tour is also designed for e-bikes, and there are plenty of charging stations available.
