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.
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.
