August 13, 2025,Zillergründl Stausee und Klein Tibet Versuch 🚴‍♀️⚡☀️
I thought I'd try an e-bike tour up towards the Zillergründl reservoir today. I wanted to turn around at the latest when only two bars were visible. Maybe I could make it to Little Tibet!? The Hohenaualm, affectionately called "Little Tibet," is located at the end of the Zillergrund reservoir.
Arriving at the Zillergrund toll station, I asked the cashier …

We went by bike from Mayrhofen to the Zillergründl Speicher dam, then we actually wanted to walk to the Chapel of St. Valentine, but the clouds caught up with us and overtook us. Visibility was zero, so we turned back halfway. Even if we didn't reach our actual goal, it was still a very nice tour.

A great tour in cloudy weather. The rain of the last two days resulted in powdered mountains at over 2,000m. Great tour. Always a leisurely climb up to the Bärenbadalm. After that it got significantly steeper. The tunnel passages are crazy! It's easy to drive from the dam to Little Tibet. But you should be safe on the bike. It …

Wonderful tour to the Zillergründl reservoir in the Zillertal. In contrast to private cars, you can cycle up to the reservoir and also via a coarse gravel field path to the "Klein Tibet" valley head. The climbs are well distributed, i.e. well suited for biobikes. But what I hadn't considered today was the extreme heat/sunshine. The asphalt was literally glowing …

On the last day of our Zillertal holiday, we take the Zillertal Railway from Uderns to Mayrhofen. It's supposed to be 36 degrees Celsius today, so we figured it would be a bit cooler up in the mountains. So today's tour takes us from Mayrhofen through the Zillergrund to the Zillergründl Reservoir. This reservoir lies at 1,850 meters and is …

In the best weather, a great tour for mind and body. Always a great tour. The Bärenbadal is recommended for pleasure and technology. Great descent to Mayrhofen.
