walking routes, pleasure tours as well as alpine tours and summit
conquests. Experienced mountaineers also get their money's worth.

and organic farmers reward every step and metre of altitude with
hearty snacks and home-produced delicacies.

The variety and richness of the trails inspire everyone who likes to get
on a bike. Whether pleasure cyclists, sporty mountain bikers who
climb the mountain, racing cyclists or those who are comfortable and
close to nature on electric bikes. Hundreds of kilometres of cycle paths
lead through the beautiful countryside along mountain meadows, hills
and idyllic river courses. Professional bike rental and well-signposted
path networks are a matter of course. The Murtalbahn railway and
