Restaurant
At Top Mountain Crosspoint, in addition to the motorcycle museum, there is also a cozy restaurant with lots of wood and large window fronts with a view of the Ötztal Alps. After your visit to the museum, you can indulge yourself with authentic dishes from Austria and Italy.
Historical Information
Top Mountain Motorcycle Museum was created by the twin brothers Alban and Attila Scheiber from Hochgurgl, and opened its doors in April 2016. Both brothers are enthusiastic motorcyclists, and have managed to build up one of the most extensive and valuable collections of historic motorcycles in Austria. They get their passion for motors from their father, Alban Scheiber senior, a former professional race driver and famous Tyrolean tourism pioneer.
In January 2021, a major fire broke out in the motorcycle museum, in which the museum was completely burned out. Already in November of the same year, however, the new, enlarged museum could be reopened.
How to get there
The museum is located right at an Alpine pass that is very popular with motorcyclists, the Timmelsjoch Hochalpenstraße. Coming from Sölden, follow B186 via Obergurgl and Hochgurgl until you reach Top Mountain Crosspoint.
Furthermore, the museum is located at the top station of the ski resort Obergurgl Hochgurgl's Kirchenkarbahn lift.
