Uphill happiness

From Valles head towards the Fane Alm until you reach the Brixner Hütte: this tour is a true AUI favourite. It involves a steady uphill climb, but you are rewarded with magnificent scenery and plenty of flow.

Ride the mountain

Altitude, open spaces, wow factor!

There may be a 900-metre altitude difference, but it is worth every single one. The countryside opens up gradually, the air becomes clearer and the view wider. This tour is balm to body and soul. Whether you use e-power or muscle power, once you find yourself at the Brixner Hütte, everything feels just fine. Plus you will be proud of yourself! So, hop on your bike, start pedalling and let's go on our favourite bike tour in the Gitschberg Jochtal!

Scenic alpine valley with lush green grass and scattered trees. A quaint village sits in the center, surrounded by towering mountains under a clear sky.
