Mountain biking

Protected alpine landscape, ancient alpine pastures, and a view across the national border: The full-day tour to the Klammljoch on the South Tyrolean border promises relaxation, tranquility, and mountain biking bliss in the Hohe Tauern National Park.

The tour starts in St. Jakob in Defereggen at the middle school or at the town hall if you arrive by public transport. On natural and occasionally paved roads, you'll cycle through the largest contiguous Swiss stone pine forest in the Eastern Alps and, after several steep climbs, enjoy the magnificent viewpoints and sights along the way.

Once you've left the trees behind you, the next highlight soon follows: the Jagdhausalm, a listed mountain pasture, one of the oldest alpine pastures in Austria. From there, the Klammljoch on the Italian border is not far away. And with the Arventalalm, a beautiful, secluded snack station lies along the way.

View of Jagdhausalm

Highlight • Settlement

The Jagdhausalm is one of the oldest alpine settlements in Austria. One of the pastures is open for farming, so you should definitely stop here—it's worth the detour! The pasture is managed by South Tyrolean farmers, who also hold grazing rights in the Schwarzach Valley.

View of the Upper Arvental Valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Arvental Valley was formerly called the Monkey Valley, as the marmots were called "Affalan." Here, at the turnoff, you have a beautiful view of the farther part of the valley and the Arventalalm at 2,189 meters. Incidentally, snacks and drinks are available there in the summer.

June 18, 2022,MTB-Wochenende Tag2🤗🌞🍻🚴‍♂️

The second MTB day was again full of madness in a positive sense. An estimated 200 bikers were out on the Klammljoch and Arventalalm. With and without electricity. We rounded off the tour with a leisurely stop at the Jagdhaus Alm.

Goodbye,
Instead of walking, we cycled from our accommodation Gasthof Edelweiß, which by the way is really awesome, up to the Klammlsee. After just a few meters, we crossed the Schwarzach bridge at the end of the town, always following the signposted forest paths to the Erlsbach Patsch car park. From there it goes on well-developed forest paths along the …

We've arrived in St. Jakob in the Defereggen Valley. I've been here in winter before – the last time was 38 years ago 😄
A lot has changed. The Hohe Tauern National Park is partly located in East Tyrol and offers unique landscapes.
We cycle into the upper Defereggen Valley to the Klammjoch, the border to South Tyrol, at 2265m. …

June 24, 2025,Defereggen Tal- Klammljoch☀️🚴

From St. Jakob, we followed the Defereggental cycle path to the Klammljoch. Then we stopped off at the Jagdhausalm on the way down.

It couldn't be more kitsch: the entire valley is blooming in all colors, the sun is shining, and there are very few people around.

September 18, 2024,Nach "Klein - Tibet"

MTB tour from St. Jakob in Defereggental to the Jagdhausalmen. These are the oldest alpine pastures in Austria. The Jagdhausalmen (2009m), 15 stone houses and a church are very similar to a Tibetan village. The trip to the Klammeljoch (2288m) had to be aborted due to too much snow.
