The Gurnigelpass can not only be climbed via asphalt, there are also variants for gravel bikes or mountain bikes. Here a small alpine road leads uphill and thus allows a traffic-free ascent through beautiful landscape.

Great weather again – so we got out our mountain bikes and started from Blumenstein up the Gurnigel. The climb was on gravel paths. The scenery and views were fantastic, and the 1300m of elevation gain was quite a challenge. The trail went from rough to very flowing. It was a fantastic ride in perfect weather!
