Innsbruck Alps Arc (2 days · Full Loop at the end)
Nearest Airport(s): INN — Innsbruck · ~15–20 min to start · All-tarmac route · Motorcycle-friendly hotels with garage/secure parking
Introduction
Two concise days across North Tyrol, point-to-point, with the loop closing only at the very end. Day One lifts out of the Inn valley over Zirler Berg to the calm Seefeld plateau, threads the quiet lanes of Leutasch and rolls into Mittenwald and Garmisch before crossing to Ehrwald and the classic Fernpass into Imst for the night. Roads are wide, legible and flowing—ideal for a steady rhythm without high-exposure mountain tops.
Day Two turns southwest into the Ötztal and climbs to Kühtai (when conditions are favourable), then descends the Sellrain valley back to Innsbruck. Food stops are bookable online; hotels are chosen for practical access and typical garage/secure options so the morning start stays effortless. Distances have been carefully checked to keep days compact and enjoyable.
