Tour of Inndal with Piller Höhe

The route starts in Oetz and first leads 2 km on the busy main road through the Oetzdal.Na 2 km turn left to Sautens and then follow quiet roads, you cycle slightly uphill through a beautiful wooded area between Sautens and Roppen, followed by a steeper descent to Roppen.

Between Roppen and Arzl in the Pitztal forest you follow a beautiful quiet and winding road along the Inn. There are several climbs in this section of the road and the (now wider) road between Unterleins and Jerzens continues to climb after Arzl in the Pitzal forest.

Then descend to the Pitze and then follow the ascent of the Piller Höhe (1558 m). No high mountains, but
A nice climb (and also the least difficult side). There is a vantage point on the Piller Höhe, from which a concrete building over the Inn Valley offers a spectacular view.

You descend the Piller Höhe to the south, which at times means a steep descent. In the village of Prutz you cross the Inn to cycle north on quiet roads on the other bank to avoid the busy B180 (Reschenstraße). Shortly before Fliess you come to the busy main road (a few hundred meters) to get to the hamlet of Eichholz via the Fließstraße through typical farm landscape and ditto roads: this often means steep roads. The descent into the Inn Valley is also steep at times.

You'll then follow the busier Landecker Straße to cycle to Landeck (fortunately, most of the traffic in Fließ goes into the Landecker Tunnel to bypass Landeck). On the west and north side you follow the Inn, over the asphalted Inn cycle path and you climb up to Imsterberg. Then it goes downhill again towards the Inn in the direction of Imst, where you cycle a few kilometers on busy roads.

You leave the busy roads by a nice quiet climb over Karres towards the hamlet of Trankhütte. At this hamlet, follow the busy B171 for 2.5 km and then turn right into a wooded area, after which you climb up to Sautens on a very quiet road. There are 2 kilometres left on the busy main road through the Ötztal valley to Oetz.

If you cycle the route in a different direction, the route becomes much more difficult because you climb the Piller Höhe from a steeper side and get the steep side between Roppen and Sautens in front of the wheels.
