BIKE Transalp 2024: Start Zugspitze - Finish Lake Garda: Transalp route 2024 has been finalised

There are two outstanding points that connect this 2024 BIKE Transalp. In the north, the Zugspitze. Not only is it Germany's highest point, this giant also reigns supreme on the Tyrolean side, in the Zugspitzarena. It towers above the Zugspitze and anyone standing at the start in Ehrwald looks up in awe at the rock bastion that stretches into the sunny sky above the valley basin. At the other end lies Lake Garda, a place of longing that harmonises the Mediterranean climate with the rugged mountain world like no other. The mountains of Lake Garda are not very high in alpine dimensions, but look all the more impressive from the shore, which is just 70 metres above sea level.

BIKE Transalp - non-stop highlights

The 2024 BIKE Transalp Transalp has no shortage of highlights. There's the crisp Marienbergjoch on day 1, playing with the Via Claudia Augusta, the old Roman road, on day 2, or exploring the 3-country enduro trails on day 3, followed by an epic trip around King Ortler on day 4, followed by the extravagant Gavia Pass on day 5. The heartbreakingly beautiful Malga Movlina on the Brenta captivates the participants on day 6, only to rush them onto the flowing trails on Malga Ringia a day later. And that's just a fraction of the experiences hidden in this extraordinary route. Magical places are strung together like pearls on a necklace, sometimes large and mighty, sometimes small and inconspicuous, but always surprising and breathtaking. And all in all, simply outstanding.

We will present the individual stages one by one in the new year.

Discounted registration until 31 December

There are still a few contingents available for the basic package of the BIKE Transalp. We will be offering the discounted price up to and including 31 December. So be quick and register now. All information on registration can be found here.

Premiere: The new EMTB-Transalp

E-bikers also have the opportunity to ride the original route of the legendary BIKE Transalp and experience the myth up close. There will be an opportunity to swap batteries on the route. Ambitious riders can compete with other participants on timed sections. Interested? Then take a look at our event page and get all the important information!
