What do I have to consider before and during cycling?

The country's applicable road traffic regulations must be observed without exception. Always wear an approved helmet on your Ötztaler Passes round. Behave in an environmental-friendly manner and be fair to others in a sporty and respectful way. Adapt your cycling to the respective situation on the road (traffic volume, traffic/road regulations etc.)!

Dangerous situations, for example, could arise due to ...

reaching high speeds
cycling and/or concentration errors due to fatigue or exertion
influence of slippery asphalt and - not least due to the high altitude - sometimes poor road conditions
impossibility of securing all danger points next to the road along the entire cycling route
impossibility of securing all possible crash sites and danger of falling spots in connection with the natural structure of the course (mountain passes stretching up to 2508 m)
extreme Alpine weather conditions, such as heavy rain, snow, fog etc.
the route traveling in part through wildlife and grazing areas, where you must always watch out for unattended grazing cattle (for example cows, horses or sheep) as well as wild animals or unleashed pets standing on the road all of a sudden - they may also leave dirt there unexpectedly
