Zillertaler Höhenstraße
Kaltenbach/Ried to Hippach
A narrow toll shelf high above the Zillertal, topping out around 2,020 m, built for the grandstand view across to the Tux and Zillertal Alps rather than for pace.
This toll road runs as a panoramic shelf high above the Zillertal, linking pastures and viewpoints along the ridge with grandstand views across the valley to the Tux and Zillertal Alps, topping out around 2020 m. It is a narrow, twisting mountain road built for the views rather than for pace, with several access spurs feeding the ridge run. Surface and width vary and it is popular with motorbikes and cyclists. Mind the narrow single-track stretches, blind crests and the steep unguarded drops on the valley side.
