Schatzberg Runde

The starting point is, for example, the Schatzbergbahn cable car in Auffach. First, take the road to Thierbach, which is about 5 km uphill. Once you reach the pretty village of Thierbach, the route turns left onto the Schatzberg. The forest path takes you about 6 km uphill through woods and alpine pastures to the Auffach mountain station. If you like to combine activity with enjoyable biking, this is the place for you. There are several places to stop for refreshments on the Schatzberg, such as the Schatzbergalm or, a little further up, the Gipföhit. On clear days, the view from the ridge around the Hahnkopf stretches from the Karwendel to the Hohe Tauern and the Wilder Kaiser. Fantastic – just enjoy! The route descends to the reservoir, past the Gern Alm and over a new section (open from the end of 2025) via the Grasing Alm. A little caution is advised in places, as the forest road via the Tals Alm and into the Aschbach Valley is somewhat steeper and more gravelly in places. But happiness hormones are still guaranteed. Because you cycle an incredible 1000 meters of elevation and over 9 km down into the valley and back to the starting point in Auffach.
