The MTB - Tour to Hintereggeralm at Liezen is not only the tour, the closest to my hometown, but it is also very challenging sport and landscaped beautifully. The last few miles are not paved very well. Therefore recommended only for mountain bikes, but there are also some cyclists who drive with road bike to the parking lot about 500m before Hintereggeralm. The route length is 9.5 kilometers to the Hintereggeralm and 11.3 to the highest point. After Hintereggeralm the forest road is gone a bit rough. But is passable without great technical difficulty.
