This section of the bikepacking tour takes you from the Ötztal Valley to Farchant near Garmisch!
The tour starts at the Explorer Hotel Ötztal. First, you take the Ötztalstraße and follow it to Oetz, where you then turn right onto the Kühtaistraße. Stay on this road for a while, and shortly after, a tough climb awaits you. 🥵
You pass through the towns of Mühlau and Ochsengarten until you reach the federal highway again shortly before Haiming. There is a bike path here that runs alongside the federal highway. Your next waypoint is Telfs, where you'll cross the river and cross the Inn. After cycling through Telfs, the next climb awaits you! The route continues uphill towards Buchen. This marks the last major climb of the day. Towards Leutasch, the route descends slightly again. From here, the tour leads to Mittenwald. Shortly after Mittenwald, you turn left. You'll pass Klais and Kaltenbrunn until you reach Garmisch Partenkirchen. From here, it's not far to the hotel. Now all that's left is the final sprint to Farchant, and you've already reached the tour's destination, the Explorer Hotel Garmisch in Farchant!
