Au-Schoppernau | Furkapass Rhine Valley

The tour starts with a proverbial “cold start”. The 18-km long climb to the Furkajoch (1,761 m) has 16% ramps in some parts of the start phase. Every metre higher you go rewards you with an even lovelier view of the valley and the massif. From the Furkajoch a fast, long and technically demanding downhill run awaits, taking you through the Laternsertal as far as Rankweil. In Rankweil, turn off to the right on to the L 190 and follow the road through Röthis, Sulz, Klaus, Götzis, Hohenems and Dornbirn as far as Wolfurt. At the entrance to the village of Wolfurt, turn off to the right towards the village centre and then turn off to the right towards Buch. The road to Buch has a slight incline and meanders through the forest. The ride from Buch to Alberschwende is peppered with short climbs and downhill runs. In Alberschwende, turn off to the left and take the L 200 as far as Egg. In Egg, take the Bregenzerwald cycle path as far as Bezau. There, turn off towards Reuthe and Bizau. At the end of Bizau, the approx. 3-km long climb to the Schnepfegg starts. It has steep stretches at the beginning. Make sure to take in the marvellous panorama on the Schnepfegg. The partially narrow road makes for a demanding downhill run to Schnepfau. Take the cycle path back to Au-Schoppernau.
