Timmelsjoch & Top Mountain Crosspoint in the Ötztal Valley

High-altitude, spectacular, unforgettable

The Timmelsjoch High Alpine Road is one of the most impressive mountain passes in the Alps – and one of the few places where you feel as though you’ve truly reached the top. At just under 2,500 metres above sea level, on the border between Tyrol and South Tyrol, it connects two worlds: the rear Ötztal valley with the Passeier Valley. Right at the summit of the pass lies the Top Mountain Crosspoint – Europe’s highest-altitude motorbike museum, which fascinates technology enthusiasts, culture lovers and anyone who appreciates the extraordinary in equal measure.

A mountain pass that sets new standards

Timmelsjoch High Alpine Road

The Timmelsjoch High Alpine Road is no ordinary Alpine pass. It is an experience – for motorcyclists, cyclists, motorists and anyone seeking the Alpine landscape at its most dramatic. Tight bends, rugged cliffs, vast plateaus and views stretching far into South Tyrol make every journey an unforgettable experience.

The Timmelsjoch Road is just a few minutes’ drive from Obergurgl – one of the advantages of the Hotel Mathiesn’s unique location at the end of the Ötztal valley.
