Anyone done any MTB in or around the Isar valley in the Alps? Me & the Missus are going over in September to a small town Mittenwald for a couple of weeks & the bikes are coming along as it looks like great XC terrain. We have done the down hill trails for the last 2 years (les Gets, Sierra Cycling) so wanted something a bit more physical and less technical
I have looked on the net and there are sites offering tours but I am always a bit apprehensive about these as you can get stuck with a group who think 10-20K is a full day tour, and as my wife keeps telling me am a tight git ๐Ÿ˜ˆ
I would greatly appreciate any info from someone who has cycled in this region as to what is availible and are the trails as good as they look?

Cheers.

Done a day on a hire bike. Nice trails, well marked and easy to follow. Particularly enjoyed crossing the border on a bike on a forest trail.

I've not biked around there only skied a little. I had been looking into biking in the area too so I'm also interested in this topic. I thought the mapping on this site [url= http://www.bergfex.com/karwendel-mittenwald/ ]here[/url] was pretty useful for planning routes. The open cycle map stuff is pretty good for the region and seems to distinguish singletrack pretty well.
