Our special mountain biking tour tips

  • the Hallstättersee-Koppenwinkel-Round – 30 km, 150 metres of change in altitude – wonderful sight to the village of Hallstatt – nature of Koppenwinkelsee
  • the Weissenbach Round – 21 km, 240 metres of change in altitude – our tour for the afternoon after your trip
  • the Hochmuth-Round – 23 km, 500 meters of change in altitude – nice tour for half- a – day
  • the Blaa-Alm Round– 45.5 km, 960 metres of change in altitude – a classic to get started and get to know the region, but also THE tour to take when it is very hot, since most of the change in altitude has to be conquered at the beginning of the tour and Altaussee Lake is a welcome stop off to cool down

  • the Kaiser Tour – 38 km, 770 metres of change in altitude – The tour doesn't just earn its name Kaiser Tour because it leads through the forests and along the paths that Franz and Sis once travelled on foot and by carriage, but primarily because of the highlights it offers. You will see the Ewige Wand and the Tauernweg to Ischl and it has lots of cozy cabins with the Ratluck'n and Hoisenradalm to offer.
  • the Sandling-Round - 35 km, 1350 metres of change in altidude – have a break at lake Altausee and a Kaiserschmarrn at the Hütteneck-hut
  • the Raschberg Round – 52.50 km, 1,610 metres of change in altitude – Into the Ausseerland and over the challenging Grabenbach back up to the Raschberg – marvelous view of one of the best-known mountain meadows in the Salzkammergut – the Hütteneckalm – the Kaiserschmarrn alone is reason enough for a visit!
  • the Durchgangsalm-Round – 48 km, 1380 Hütteneckalm – The tour starts on Lake Hallstatt and leads along the new bike path with a view of the world-famous city of Hallstatt before the path becomes steep in the Echerntal on the way to Gosau – a tour that offers everything – beautiful views, cosy meadows, challenging inclines and declines.
  • the Salzkammergut 5 Lake Tour (lake Wolfgangsee, Schwarzensee, etc.) – 60 km, 1350 Hütteneckalm – Mountains and lakes: a combination that the Salzkammergut presents spectacularly, beautiful views and also very appropriate for bikers who without a lot of technical skills.

Dachstein Krippenstein: Are you ready? 
For 9 kilometres of the finest deep snow? For the longest descent in Upper Austria?

Dachstein Krippenstein is the hotspot of the freeriding scene in the Salzkammergut. And beyond runs and cliff drops, the Krippenstein impresses with an exciting outdoor programme - far away from the mainstream.


Nine kilometres of off-piste variants and the snow reliability of the Dachstein area whet the appetite for powder snow and fat boards. Whether ski or board, the numerous variants of the Dachstein Krippenstein inspire every powder freak! Schönberg, Imisl and Eisgrube offer rough rocky ridges, varied slopes and selective forest routes, 1500 metres of altitude per ride demand fitness and concentration.

Days of freedom are the order of the day at Arena Dachstein Krippenstein - simply everything is possible: skiing and boarding, on and off piste, freeride training and snow camps, snowshoeing, ski tours, ice climbing, paragliding. Or maybe you'd rather relax on one of the sun terraces or party the night away?

And here's what's on offer:
> 30 kilometres of off-piste variants
> the longest descent in Upper Austria with 9 kilometres
> signposted snowshoe trails to the World Heritage Spiral, 5fingers, Dachstein-Hai
> Eldorado of ski touring opportunities on the Dachstein
> Krippenstein Gjaidalm cross-country ski trail
