Welcome to the 8.Austrian Indian Tour!

The 8.Austrian Indian Tour will be pure riding pleasure! Planned on a star-shapped route for the first time, we will cover 555 miles in 4 days, riding in Austria, Italy and for the most part in Slovenia. With Hotel Castle Lerchenhof we will stay at a jewel of Austrian hospitality in Carinthia.

Exploring the roads around the Triglav National Park, a visit at lake Jezero and the climb up to the Mangart, we will experience the most beautiful routes of the Julian Alps in Slovenia. In Italy we will enjoy the curves of Passo del Pura to Sauris and descend thru the Lumiei canyon.  The biggest chellange of the tour will be Monte Zoncolan, wich we will conquer, this time comming from the West. Wonderfull sideroads and crossings of the passes between Italy and Austria will round up the route. On the first day, we will stay in Austria and use the scenic, but gentle roads of Carinthia to prepare ourselves for the comming days.
