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.

- Insider tip
The Reichraminger Hintergebirge is one of the most beautiful and largest primeval landscapes in Austria. The so-called "Große Bach" (Great Brook) flows through the central part (in its lower course called "Reichraming" and in its upper course also called "Schwarzer Bach"), on which wood used to be rafted (drifted).
Between the Schleierfall and the Annerlsteg is the narrowest and most interesting part of the gorge, which was made passable again by the "Triftsteig" (via ferrata), renovated in 1987 with steel ropes and clamps. The via ferrata partly follows the old course of the Triftsteig, which at that time was only equipped with narrow wooden footbridges, and thus gives an idea of the dangerous work of the wooden raftsmen of that time (remains of the old footbridge can still be seen today).
Directions:The actual via ferrata is about 2 km long, well secured and leads along the right (eastern) bank of the stream through the gorge in a very varied and scenic way. The route is very exposed and narrow in places, often wet due to watercourses running across it.
Time required: "Triftsteig": 1 - 1.5 hours.
On the opposite side of the gorge, the forest road in the valley (former route of the narrow-gauge railway for timber transport, which only ceased operation in 1971) leads through several long tunnels (take a torch if necessary) back to the starting point of the "Triftsteig".
access: on foot from the Weißwasser car park to Schleierfall in approx. 1 hour
by mountain bike from Anzenbach to Schleierfall in approx. 2 hours.
Return route options:
Through the tunnels along the Hintergebirgsradweg.Ascent along the Hochschlachtbach stream (very beautiful, but very strenuous!, deep views to the Triftsteig) to the Anlaufalm and over the Hirschkogelsattel to the starting point (highly recommended for hikers with stamina!).
On the Hintergebirgsradweg cycle path to Weißwasser or Mooshöhe.
Tip:For children and the less experienced, basic via ferrata equipment and possibly a short safety rope (for children) is recommended.Safety guidelines:
Check the weather forecast before starting the tour. In summer, approaching thunderstorms in the Hintergebirge are often seen too late. There is no exit along the Triftsteig. Surefootedness and a head for heights - only for experienced hikers!
