    The Tannheimer Tal has been well known among cyclists 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 Cycling Tour came to Tyrolean soil during the opening stage and were rewarded with the mountain classification of the Tannheimer Tal and the mountain classification of Jungholz. Even professionals were struck by the scenic charms of the "probably most beautiful high valley in Europe." Lush green meadows, Lake Haldensee, and a beautiful mountain backdrop accompanied the road pros on their competitive kilometers. Thus, the Tannheimer Tal has also established itself as an ideal region for targeted training or extensive routes. “The Tannheimer Tal 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 Tal Tourism Association and former Austrian mountain bike national coach. Cyclists will find not only the ideal starting point but also a wide range of accommodations in the Tannheimer Tal. You can choose your accommodation from 5-star hotels to private rooms. After a beautiful ride, relax and recharge. - The Tannheimer Tal
