Do you need a little more? Almost 1800 meters above Sterzing lies the Weissspitze. For mountain bikers probably more like: Schweissspitze. The ascent, including the carrying section, is tough, but the singletrail descent is brilliant. A bike tour with the full dose.
Description
The start of the tour is harmless: you cycle from the center of Sterzing up towards the Brenner Pass to the village of Gosensass. You then climb in serpentine mode on a gravel road to the Hühnerspielhütte and follow this road unabated until a little later the path on the left rides up to the Weissspitze. From now on, you have to walk for 800 meters. But the effort is worth it: the view from the summit of the Stubai and Zillertal Alps and the Pfitsch Valley is phenomenal. The descent is also phenomenal. The first section is difficult and high alpine, then the trail becomes smoother and smoother and a real gem! You always follow the 6-path to the Braunhof and from there take the 2-path. This leads down to Sterzing - almost 1800 meters of alpine trail magic!

Great summit :) and a mega descent, especially later along the ridge and in the forest. The entire trail is free of logs.
