Olympia Express – Innsbruck Village Ride

Innsbruck has hosted the Olympic Games not once but twice, so it is little wonder that "Olympia" can be found almost everywhere in the regional capital of Tirol. This circular ride around Innsbruck nicknamed "Olympia Express" is long, challenging and full of climbing. It takes riders through all the locations which hosted Olympic disciplines in 1976. However, it has also been designed in such a way that riders can shorten the ride and head straight back to Innsbruck at several points along the route. Most of the roads are quiet and offer a fantastic riding experience with great views.
The ride starts in Innsbruck and leads along the foot of the Nordkette mountains to Thaur, where riders turn left into the village and past the Absamer Kaserne barracks to the village of Gnadenwald. After passing the Michaelerhof guesthouse, take a right to Fritzens and then continue down to Wattens. There, follow the main road (Bundesstraße) right to Volders and turn left in the village towards Volderberg.
