Timmelsjoch 2,509m

Austrian northern ramp from Sölden. Paradisiac conditions mid of May 2007 when Timmelsjoch had officially not been opened yet. However, passroad with alongside metres high snow was smoothly rideable with a road bike. While all motorbikes (usually populating Timmelsjoch) had to return at the toll gate, the road bike could just be lifted over the barrier.... Opposite southern ramp of Timmelsjoch constitutes crowning part of Ötztaler Cycle Marathon.

Start: Sölden 1,368m
Altitude difference: 1,466m
Distance to summit: 24km
May 2007

At the toll gate at an altitude of approx. 2,200m


Mid of May somewhat winterly on the last part of the passroad...


Lonesome idyll on pass summit: No cars, no motorbikes, no coaches full of tourists
