Spotguide Innsbruck

Innsbruck is a young and, above all, very sporty student city. Here, mountain biking is part of the DNA, so to speak, and the trails close to the city are well and heavily frequented. However, riding on the trails also often leads to controversy (as is the case in many urban regions). Nevertheless, people still ride and (illegal) trail building is a big thing in Tyrol's capital. Thanks to the large and strong mountain bike scene, a solid trail infrastructure has developed, which makes great shorter tours possible.

Those who have the longer routes on their agenda can take advantage of Innsbruck's hub character. Innsbruck is located in the heart of Tyrol and almost all regions of Tyrol are easily accessible from here and can often be reached by train. Even tours in combination with South Tyrol are possible thanks to the Brenner connection. Several bike parks are also easily accessible from here, the closest being the Bikepark Innsbruck in Mutters at the entrance to the Wipptal valley.

Getting there

Arrival by public transport

Innsbruck has excellent connections to the European rail network. Bicycle transport is usually also possible without any problems on the international trains that run here, although a seat reservation is often required.

Arrival by car

Innbruck is located on the Inntal highway and at the foot of the Brenne highway. In other words, it is easy to get here by private vehicle from all directions. From Switzerland and the Lake Constance region, you can get to Innsbruck via the Arlberg, while from Germany it makes sense to travel via the Fernpass or the highway via Kufstein.
