For three weeks, from 8 to 28 February 2021, the Ötztal Cycling Marathon Rouvy Challenge was all about tackling the mountain passages of the Ötztal Cycle Marathons to master. The finishers were then able to enjoy the virtual Ötztal Cycle Marathon Batch. It may feel different virtually on the roller trainer, but much remains the same: Kühtai, Brenner, Jaufenpass, Timmelsjoch and almost 5500 metres of altitude make for burning thighs.
On 6 March at 4 p.m., every Rouvy member then take part in the Ötztal Cycle Marathon mountain race. One of the longest Ötztal passes, the Timmelsjoch, was ridden. The community had previously decided in an online survey that this was the one of the four passes.
Even after the virtual Ötztaler Challenge 2021, you can still ride the legendary climbs of the Ötztaler Cycle Marathon on the roller trainer on the Rouvy training platform. Simply search for the keyword "ÖRM" in the route overview. You can ride these four climbs on Rouvy drive with video:
Oetz - Kühtai: 24.4 km / 1344 metres in altitude
Innsbruck - Brenner: 37 km / 859 metres in altitude
Sterzing - Jaufenpass: 17.6 km / 1135 metres in altitude
St. Leonhard i.P. - Timmelsjoch: 30.6 km / 1823 metres in altitude
