- Galtür valley circuit: 21 kilometres, 408 metres altitude difference, easy-medium
The valley circuit to Galtür and back is one of the easiest bike tours in Ischgl. The mountain bike trails feature paved valley roads and gravel roads as well as light single trails and easy sections of forest. On the way there, the panorama road offers a stunning view of the Jamtal with the mighty peaks of the Silvretta Group. The ride back takes you along the Trisanna creek to Ischgl. This tour is also suitable for children.
- Silvretta 3-lake tour: 57 kilometres, 1,619 metres altitude difference, medium-difficult
In terms of riding technique, this tour to the biggest reservoirs is definitely doable for less experienced bikers, too. Due to the length of this tour and the high number of elevation metres, however, good physical condition is a must. The route guides you on bicycle paths, roads and gravel roads to Kops reservoir and to the Silvretta high alpine road with the Vermunt and Silvretta reservoirs. You can also cut a few elevation metres off your Silvretta tour by taking the cable car to help you with the climb.
- Zeblas freeride: 20 kilometres, 401 metres altitude difference, medium-difficult
The Zeblas single trail tour is one of the best freeride trails in Europe. The arduous climb to the Heidelberg circuit is an ideal training ground for marathon bikers. The summer cable car takes freeriders to the starting point. The bulk of the descent consists of breath-taking single trail routes that rank among the best in Ischgl.
- Paznauner Taja tour: 19 kilometres, 1,082 metres altitude difference, difficult
The route to Paznauner Taja takes you to the region that skiers head to in the winter - between Idalpe and Samnaun. Your bike tour is also organised to that effect. The climbs are steep and energy-draining. However, the majestic downhill single trails make it all worth it. For this bike route, you can either take the cable cars to help you with the climb or ride on the freeride routes only.
- Fimberpass tour: 86 kilometres, 2,807 metres altitude difference, difficult
The Fimberpass, sometimes also called Fimbapass, is the highlight for any sophisticated mountain biker. This section of trail was also named the most beautiful single trail in the Alps. Transalpine bikers prefer this pass for crossing the main ridge of the Alps. The entire tour cannot be beat in terms of adventure, panorama and scenic beauty. The Fimberpass Tour is, however, a test of condition and riding technique. On the way back to Ischgl, you can cover sections by taking a cable car or use the shuttle service (for a fee).
