The starting shot for the 5^th Zillertal Bike Challenge will be fired on 5th July 2013 in Fügen. Following the sensational success of recent years, the 3-day stage race has secured itself a permanent place in the calender of professional and hobby cyclists as the hardest bike race in the Alps!
 
From the start in Fügen, wide mountain roads as well as steep, Alpine logging roads take the riders via Zell-Gerlos, Mayrhofen-Hippach and Tux-Finkenberg to the finish line on the eternal ice of the Hintertuxer glacier. The participants are also appropriately rewarded for their efforts!
