    Among cyclists, the Tannheimer Valley has been known for some time, as in 2001 the peloton of the Austrian Cycling Tour passed through the valley. In 2005, the professional riders of the Bayern Rundfahrt came to the opening stage on Tyrolean soil and were rewarded with the Tannheimer Valley mountain classification and the Jungholz mountain classification. Even professionals noticed the scenic charms of the "probably the most beautiful high valley in Europe." Lush green meadows, Lake Haldensee and a beautiful mountain backdrop accompanied the professionals on their race kilometers. Thus, the Tannheimer Valley has also established itself as an ideal region for targeted training or extensive routes. "The Tannheimer Valley is an ideal starting point for long road bike routes to the surrounding regions such as Lake Constance or the Arlberg," says Michael Keller, managing director of the Tannheimer Valley Tourism Association and former mountain bike national coach of Austria. Cyclists find not only an ideal starting point in the Tannheimer Valley but also a wide range of accommodations. From 5-star hotels to private rooms, you can choose your accommodation. After a nice ride, relax and recharge your batteries. - The Tannheimer Valley
