Enzian power - triple Tyrolean pass enjoyment

Hahntennjoch

The Hahntennjoch is an ancient Alpine crossing that was already in active use in the early Middle Ages. Around 1930, old mule tracks began to be paved and made passable for vehicles. To this day, the road, with gradients of up to 19% leading up into the mountains, is only of regional importance. Long-distance and through traffic rushes down into the Inn Valley via the Fernpass. This makes the Hahntennjoch even more popular for motorcyclists. The meeting point at the summit, complete with snack bar, is often firmly in our hands at weekends, although the pass ramp, which is also prone to avalanches, is a real treat for riders.

Kühtaisattel

Kühtai, on the other hand, is different. The village of Kühtai, which gives the elongated high valley its common name, is one of Austria's highest ski resorts and a very popular biking destination outside of the white season from spring to fall.

The high valley, which can be reached from the Hotel Enzian with nine genuine hairpin bends, not only boasts a well-developed piste, but also magnificent views of the alpine panoramas of the Stubai Alps. Garnished with countless rest and picnic areas as well as many places to stop for refreshments, the Kühtai is a delight for all the senses that can fill almost an entire day of touring despite its manageable length. Especially if we "spice it up" with extensive gasoline conversations at the meeting points along the Scheitelhöh
