Komperdell Ride

With 558 vertical metres of climbing from start to finish, this ride of intermediate difficulty requires good fitness. It leads riders through the beautiful Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis region. E-bikers may well have enough energy left after the 14.7 kilometres to explore the Six Senses Trail aimed at families, the Hög adventure park or the Murmliwasser water play area. Riders, especially those on heavy e-bikes, need good bike-handling skills in order to negotiate the steep ascent with a short section of singletrail downhill.
The ride starts at the bike park in Fiss. The route first leads along the Serfauser Straße, past the underground railway station at the entrance to the village, into the centre of Serfaus. Follow the Dorfbahnstraße and, shortly before the Zeno-Brücke bridge, continue straight ahead onto the Mühlbachweg. After about 300 metres cross the Argenbach stream via the bridge, cycle a few metres straight ahead and turn left onto the forest trail behind house number four. After a further 150 metres, route 761 turns right towards Komperdellalm. Uphill it goes first through fields and finally through woodland via two hairpin bends to 1,640 metres above sea level. There, halfway up the Högtrail, turn left and circle Michaelskopf in a southerly direction. Head past the Hög adventure park next to the reservoir and the Högalm hut, follow route 761 in the direction of the Kölner Haus. On gravelly ground, the route leads below the Alpkopf to the highest point of this route at 1,910 metres above sea level. Shortly before the Sportalm, which is only open in winter, and the Murmliwasser play area, turn right to the lift station of the Planseggbahn. From there, a short trail leads downhill for 1.8 kilometres to the Leithe-Wirt hut. At the crossroads 200 metres after the Leithe-Wirt hut keep left and follow route 761 through fields across the Scheibeck and then northwards back to Fiss and the car park at the bike park.
