18.4 kilometers. 480 meters of elevation gain.
A tour that proves indulgence and movement go perfectly hand in hand.

The End of Valley Loop is the ideal ride for anyone looking to ease into the biking world of Saalbach Hinterglemm. No stress, no time pressure — just nature, flow, and a steady rhythm from the first meter to the last.

The ride starts in Hinterglemm. From there, you roll leisurely upstream along the Glemmtal cycle path, accompanied by the rushing Saalach river and panoramic views of the surrounding mountains. After about seven kilometers, you reach the head of the valley (Talschluss), where the route continues over a bridge and gently gains elevation.

Passing the Stefflalm and continuing on to the Lindlingalm, the tour reveals its alpine character while remaining consistently rideable. From here, the trail climbs gently uphill; at the first junction, keep left — your destination is the Ossmannalm, the highest point of the loop and the perfect spot to catch your breath.

The descent follows a narrow hiking trail down into the valley. A bit of finesse is called for here — not only due to the terrain, but also out of consideration for oncoming hikers.

Bottom line:
The Talschluss Loop is easy, varied, and ideal for leisure riders, beginners, or as a relaxed recovery ride in between bigger days. Less challenge, more experience.
