The race variant “Prince/Princess of the Mountain” is ideal for hobby bikers with high objectives. A first-class service from the Zillertal mountain railways awaits the bikers: These assist with the tough ascents and simplify the category Prince/Princess compared to King/Queen by a total of 3.835 vertical metres. However, the sporty challenge is not to be underestimated. Apart from the total of five mountain railway ascents, the route is almost identical to the professional one.

Starting at the leisure park area in Zell am Ziller, the Prince/Princess ride to the valley station of the Rosenalmbahn, which they then take up to the Rosenalmbahn summit station. After a very demanding ascent to the highest point of the second stage on the Übergangsjoch at over 2,500 m (warning: snow fields possible), it is then down into the picturesque Wilde Krimml Grund (2,062 m) and from there back up again to the Isskogel (2,260 m). From here, the route is very varied, partly along gravel paths, two singletrails and then the final 4 km on asphalt, straight down to the Isskogelbahn in Gerlos. Care is required at about the halfway mark on the Latschenalm, where for a distance of 400 m we encounter all the other participants who are riding down into the valley. From there, the Isskogelbahn runs up to the Arena Center. From here, it‘s another 10 minutes straight up. (Attention: here you encounter all the other participants who are riding down into the valley) There then follows a short, demanding downhill section to the Innerertensalm and a short climb to the Gerlostal Alm. A breathtaking panoramic trail then leads for several kilometres through picturesque pastureland. From the Kreuzwiesenalm, the route leads down again to Zell am Ziller via a part of singletrail Wiesenalm. Along the Zillertal Cycle Path the route runs to the finish in the centre of Mayrhofen.

The Princes/Princesses set off from the Europahaus Mayrhofen and ride past Burgstall to the Horbergbahn cable car in Schwendau, which they can use to overcome the first ascent. From here, the route continues to the Tappenalm (1,772 m), along a dirt track to the Penkenjoch (2,095 m) and on to the Wanglalm. A well-kept dirt track then snakes its way to Vorderlanersbach. Here, the route joins Tuxerlandesstraße L6. The route goes through Lanersbach, Juns and Madseit to the valley station of the Hintertux glacier cableway - glacier bus 1. The Prince/Princess have one more short breather here, before mobilising every last ounce of effort for the climb to the Tuxer Ferner Haus at 2,660 m.
