Motorbike tours between the Großglockner and the Dolomites
Eastern Tyrol is enclosed between the peaks of the Upper Tauern in the North and the Dolomites in the South. This is the natural frame to the Hotel Schöne Aussicht, an ideal base for a biking holiday. Several tours, with many turns, terrific panoramic roads like the Felbertauernstraße or the Pustertaler Höhenstraße as well as the close Dolomite passes will make your biker heart beat out of excitement.
