BIKE or TOUR TRANSALP: discover the adventure

In 2017, the organiser of the BIKE Transalp (MTB) and TOUR Transalp (on ROAD) comes up with a brand new offer for individual racers. 200 taster session entries are on hand therefore addressing those cyclists who haven't got the time to compete in the whole seven-day stage race for the average Joe but want to be part of the event. In addition, those demo days also give Transalp rookies the chance to slowly get to know what crossing the main Alpine ridge is all about.

TOUR Transalp: There are two different options for a taster session: cyclists can only pedal the first stage from Sonthofen to Imst, or they decide to keep going finally wrapping up things in Naturns. Race organisers will provide a transport back to Sonthofen no matter if participants race one or two days. Those who enter the event as part of the taster sessions will start as individuals and in an additional starting block solely reserved for them. Although they won't be ranked as part of the classic TOUR Transalp categories, every competitor will be part of the peloton of adventurers and capitalising on the same services which are provided to all other athletes over the course of the stages. Since its inaugural edition back in 2003, the TOUR Transalp has become a must-compete-in event for the cycling enthusiastic average Joe. From June 25th till July 1st, 2017, it's time to cross the main chain of the Alps for the 15th time already. Over the course of seven stages, participants racing in teams of two will take up the challenge of mastering 865.44 kilometres in distance as well as 18,195 metres of climbing from Sonthofen (GER) via Imst (AUT), Naturns (ITA), Bormio (ITA), Livigno (ITA), Aprica (ITA) and Lake Ledro (ITA) to Arco (ITA).

BIKE Transalp: also here two different options for a taster session: participants can only pedal the first stage from Mayrhofen to Brixen, or they decide to keep going finally wrapping up things in St. Vigil. The BIKE Transalp powered by Sigma is the most famous stage race for mountain bike teams of two. Since its inaugural edition back in 1998, the route led in eight and from 2014 on, in seven stages across the main ridge of the Alps to Italy. In 2017, the event for pros and the average Joe alike will take place from July 16 till 22 celebrating its 20th anniversary and cover about 539.80 km and 18,185 metres of climbing. The jubilee edition kicks off in Mayrhofen (AUT) and leads via Brixen (ITA), St. Vigil, St. Christina, Kaltern, Trento and Lavarone to Riva del Garda where the tradition-rich classic will conclude at the shores of Lake Garda for the 17th time already.
