This high valley tour extension offers an impressive panoramic view over the Kitzbühel Alps.
From Oberau you can show your muscles. Without a break and with an average of 15%, the mountain road up to the Horler Stiegl is very demanding, but is worthwhile with peace, alpine flowers and wonderful views. At the end of the asphalted stretch, the brave can drive up to the Holzalm on a well paved gravel road of 500 metres.
The same route takes you back to Oberau and Niederau, then straight ahead towards Brixental. After a rapid descent, you roll through the municipality of Hopfgarten in the direction of Wörgl. At Brugger Mühle keep right and cross the plateau, where Bad Häring and Schwoich are located, to return to Kufsteinerland.
