Mountain Bike Route to Pretul

Closed
We start our tour at the entrance to Ganztal and ride towards Bärenkogel, continuing to Ganzalm. From here, we follow the most challenging section of the route up to Amundsenhöhe. Finally, we cycle the last 2 km to the Roseggerhaus on Pretul, where the ascent becomes more moderate.

The first 6 km follow a paved road to Bärenkogel. From there, a forest road leads to Ganzalm. Immediately after Ganzalm, the route becomes more challenging, followed by a moderate incline leading up to Pretul.
