Ischgl Ironbike Marathon

The ultimate challenge

Are you ready?

The Ironbike Marathon

For die-hard mountain bikers

Would you like to go even further and higher? The Ischgl Ironbike Marathon is the perfect choice for mountain bikers seeking to push their limits. If you don’t want to go for the long-distance route, we recommend one of the shorter routes.

Did you know that the routes run along the region’s former smuggler’s trails? Where the smugglers of the olden times used to transport contraband between Ischgl and Samnaun, today mountain bikers cruise along the scenic paths of the Silvretta mountains.
