5-Valley Mountain Bike Tour (Stage 3) | 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
Großes Walsertal with an overnight stay in Bludenz (1,190 m elevation gain)
From the Gerachhaus, descend partly on singletrack toward Ludesch. Gain elevation to Raggal or Ludescherberg, then enjoy the ride up to Muttersberg. From Muttersberg, descend to Bludenz via the farm road or the Muttersberg singletrack. Alternatively, take the Muttersbergbahn.
Variation: Stay overnight in Raggal and spend an extra day experiencing the “Around the Breithorn” tour.
Directions
Gerachhaus – Dünser Älpele – Hensler – Boden – Düns – Schnifis – Buchwaldweg – Badesee – Thüringen – Walgaustraße toward Ludesch – Alte Raggalerstraße – Raggal – Ludescherberg – Laz – Muttersberg – farm road or singletrack to Bludenz
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.
