Take a riding journey from Switzerland to Austria across the striking Alpine scenery of the Arlberg Pass, through Tyrol to Innsbruck and Vienna. It is a high mountain pass at an elevation of 1,793 m (5,883 ft) above the sea level, located between Vorarlberg and Tyrol in Austria.
The road over the Arlberg Pass, Federal Highway B 197 is fully paved and well maintained. The pass is the main connection between Lake of Constance in Vorarlberg and Innsbruck in Tyrol. The condition of the Arlberg road is excellent. Since this road had to carry all the West to East traffic in the past, before the tunnels were opened, it is a wide road with moderate curves and just fun to ride.
