CHASE THE FOX!

The funny competition treats the challenge between cyclists without pedal assistance and those with pedal assistance in a playful way. Based on the medieval fox hunt, a sportive cyclist without assistance takes on the role of the fox. The fox sets off with a time advantage, and the e-bikers try to catch up with it by the time they reach the finish line.

Route

The E-Bike Fox Hunt takes place on the exciting route from Ischgl village to the Alpenhaus on the Idalp. A total of approx. 900 metres in altitude will be covered.

  • Start: Silvrettaplatz (next to Silvrettabahn cable car)
  • Finish: Alpenhaus, Idalp

Can also be done with road e-bikes or gravel e-bikes, entire route on asphalt.
