About Ötztal Glacier Road - Highest Road in the Alps
The Ötztal Glacier Road takes you up to the Rettenbach Glacier and the highest road in the Alps. One rarely gets to ride up close to a glacier, but that is possible on this ride. It is a very beautiful ride but also a very difficult ride. It has an average gradient of 9.5 %. It starts in the lovely Tyrolean town of Sölden. You ride through town as a short warm-up. Then the ride takes you up through the forest. The road has mostly double-digit gradients. Midway you get to a short descend. From here and for the remainder of the ride you are free of the forest and can enjoy unobstructed views of the glacier and the mountains. As you get to the Rettenbach glacier you can continue further up the road which takes you to the highest road in the Alps. The ride ends with a beautiful view of the glacier.

Just add music:
Most cyclists would agree that the ride to Col du Tourmalet is awesome. But when it comes to music opinions are very mixed. This is why we recommend adding your favorite music to the ride. It is quite simple. Mute KZfaq and open a browser window. Find a site that offers music (Spotify, KZfaq, etc…) and pick the music you like, and enjoy the ride...
