Alpencross through Vorarlberg | Klostertal

The Transalp route from Oberstdorf to Lake Garda leads in stages through the eastern part of Vorarlberg. Bikers arrive in Warth via the Schrofenpass. Via Lech, Dalaas and Silbertal you ride to the Heilbronner Hütte and on to Galtür.

From Warth, follow the road towards Lech. In the centre of Lech, turn right towards Zug. From Zug through the Zuger valley in the direction of Formarinsee. Continue straight on in the forest (left towards Spullersee) until you reach the Formarin Alpe. From there, go halfway round the Formarinsee until you reach the Freiburger Hütte. From the hut, take the steep goods road to Alpe Rauher Staffel and continue on a singletrail to Dalaas. This section of the trail is very challenging, only below 1200 metres do you return to the goods road down to Dalaas. The next ascent to the Kristbergsattel starts to the right of the Kristbergsaal. From the Kristbergsattel, descend a short distance before continuing eastwards towards Wildried and Wasserstuben valley. In the Wasserstuben valley, head downhill towards the Fellimännle inn. From here through the rear Silbertal valley, past the Untere Gafluna Alpe and the Obere Felle Alpe to the Winterjöchle. Here you have to push/carry your bike over the Winterjöchle. In Schönverwalltal, the Transalp route takes you up to Heilbronner Hütte. From here downhill to Kops and over the Zeinisjoch down to Galtür. 

IMPORTANT NOTE: The "Fellimännle - Silbertaler Winterjöchle" section may not be used from 16 September to 14 June each year. This section is closed to bikers during this time in accordance with the Verwall European Protected Area Ordinance.
