Ötztaler Cycle Marathon

One of Europe's most challenging and prestigious amateur road cycling events, held annually in late August. The race covers 227 kilometers and features 5,500 meters of climbing over four alpine passes (Kühtai, Brenner, Jaufen, Timmelsjoch), starting and finishing in Sölden. While the event itself is for serious cyclists, the route provides an incredible challenge for any road cyclist to train on during the summer months. The atmosphere in Sölden during the event is electric.
