EPIC 360° Two-Thousander Tour
Safety Information
Cycling on non-public paths is only permitted on the routes shown. On these routes, the path maintainer or landowner has permitted cycling by means of a usage agreement during the period between April 1st and October 31st. From November 1st to March 31st, cycling is therefore not permitted even on the officially open MTB routes and singletrails.
The information and content regarding tour progression, duration, and difficulty are assessments by the locally responsible tourism associations and municipalities based on the criteria of the Tyrolean MTB model. The information on this map can only serve as an aid for cyclists when planning a tour and support them in their decisions, but cannot replace them. Before every tour, the weather report, potential natural hazards, personal skills, necessary equipment, and time requirements should therefore be checked independently. Emergency call: 140 or 112
Starting in Kitzbühel, you leave the town on side roads towards Kirchberg and follow the well-developed cycle path parallel to the valley road. Shortly before the town center, the route branches off onto farm tracks and continues further into the valley towards Aschau. Here, the first longer ascent begins on wide forest roads, steadily gaining altitude and leaving the valley behind in several hairpin bends.
After about an hour, you reach the area above Aschau and continue following the ascent towards Stangenjoch. The route now runs on a high-altitude forest road that heads south above the valley. On this section, views open up repeatedly towards the Pengelstein, the Rettenstein group, and down into the Spertental. At the highest point of the traverse, you reach the junction to the Panoramalm, which lies slightly above the route.
This is followed by a longer descent towards Gauxjoch and the Trattenbach-Liften, where the route meets a wider service road. After the crossing, you continue downhill over gravel and forest paths until you reach the valley floor between Kirchberg and Jochberg. From here, the route is initially flat before the second ascent begins.
The following section leads via forest roads up to the Bruggeralm and further towards the slopes above Jochberg. Here, the route again runs at a beautiful high altitude before the final descent section begins. After a longer, steady descent, you reach the valley floor south of Kitzbühel.
The last few kilometers lead along the cycle path along the Aschauer Ache back towards Kitzbühel, where the loop ends at the starting point. Individual shorter sections with rougher terrain may require pushing for gravel bikes, but are easily rideable for E-MTBs and MTBs.
It is best to start this loop with a full battery. For coffee or lunch breaks, the Oberlandhütte, Kloo Alm, Panorama Alm, or Bruggeralm are ideal options. A short stop at the Stangenjoch is particularly beautiful – here you can truly feel the tranquility of the mountains. Please close all gates and show consideration for landowners and grazing livestock.
