southern outskirts of town.
Trail features This route is on paved backroads and farm tracks, with nearly no elevation gain (easy). Riding time is 2 hours.
Route description The official trailhead is
where the road from Kühtai runs into Ötztaler Bundesstrasse in Ötz. Proceed on Ötztalstrasse for a few hundred meters before turning left onto Achrainweg. Continue straight
ahead to Ötztaler Ache, then ride upstream
until you get to the first bridge. Cross Ötztaler Ache and follow the signposts to Sautens
(about 15 minutes from Ötz). Proceed
through the village on Dorfstrasse. Continue
on the road’s extension on the western edge
of the village to Sautener Forchet. This little
forest, lined with hills and rocks, formed as
a result of a massive rockfall from the
opposed Tschirgant mountain. The road then
leads downhill to Roppen. Continue down to
the church past the first houses. Keep left
and turn left onto the Inntal cycling trail.
Follow the green signposts of the Inntal trail
to Imst. Ride past the hamlets of Obbruck
and Waldele and continue through fields and
pastures into Imster Schlucht an to the ImstPitztal train station (1.5 hours from Sautens). Cross the bridge over the Inn river and
