The tour begins in Samnaun Dorf to Samnaun-Laret. It continues from Laret over a long ascent on the alpine road past Alp Trida to Viderjoch. From there the route continues via the Flimjoch trail to Idalpe. You reach the Velill trail after a short and speedy ascent; the descent leads past the upper Velillalpe to Ischgl. Next to the Fimba cable car, you pass through the village tunnel to the lift in the middle, which takes bikers to the “church”. This is where the ascent to Pardatschalpe begins and further via Höllkar to Salaaser Kopf. And here we commence our descent over the Zebla pastures back to Samnaun Dorf.
