At the start of the Ötztal Cycle Marathon 2024
Bike expertise? That's what we offer at Sporthütte Fiegl. Markus Fiegl has once again competed in the legendary Ötztal Cycle Marathon. Our colleague and extreme cyclist Patric Grüner is an experienced expert and a regular, valued guest at the live broadcast of this iconic cycling race.
After his debut in 2019, Markus Fiegl once again tackled the demanding course of the Ötztal Cycle Marathon in 2024 – a 227-kilometre route across four Alpine passes with a challenging 5,500 metres of elevation gain. To achieve the goal of a "finish" in Sölden, constant preparation with thousands of kilometres of training, high motivation, and endurance are essential. In 2024, Markus crossed the finish line after 10 hours, 23 minutes, and 48 seconds.
"Had a problem with my Bianchi racing bike. 😬 Somma was really competent and very helpful. A big compliment to the whole Sporthütte Fiegl team. Thank you very much. Highly recommended."

"Very friendly and helpful. In the summer, they competently assisted with the repair of my racing bike before the Ötzi, and in the winter, after a fall, they were very understanding when I returned my skis early. I’ll be back..."
