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 counts among the most beautiful and largest primeval landscapes in Austria. Through the central part flows the so-called "Große Bach" (called "Reichraming" in the lower part and also known as "Schwarzer Bach" in the upper part), which was formerly used for timber rafting.
Between the Schleierfall and the Annerlsteg lies the narrowest and most interesting part of the gorge, which was made passable again by the "Triftsteig" renovated with steel cables and clamps in 1987. The via ferrata partly follows the old route of the Triftsteig, which was then only equipped with narrow wooden walkways, thus letting one imagine the dangerous work of the timber rafters at that time (remains of the old route are still visible today).
The actual via ferrata is about 2 km long, well secured, and leads along the right (eastern) riverside very diversely and scenically through the gorge. Parts are very exposed and narrow paths, often wet due to transversal streams.
Time required: "Triftsteig": 1 - 1.5 hours
On the opposite side of the gorge, you reach the forest road running through the valley (former track of the narrow-gauge railway for timber transport, which ceased operation only in 1971) through several long tunnels (possibly bring a flashlight) back to the starting point of the "Triftsteig". At the "Schleierfall", several options arise
Access:
on foot from the Weißwasser parking lot to Schleierfall in about 1 hour
by mountain bike from Anzenbach to Schleierfall about 2 hours
Return options:
Through the tunnels on the Hintergebirgsradweg.
Ascent along the Hochschlachtbach (very beautiful but very exhausting!, deep views to the Triftsteig) to the Anlaufalm and over the Hirschkogelsattel to the starting point (highly recommended for persistent hikers!).
On the Hintergebirgsradweg to Weißwasser or Mooshöhe
Tip:For children and less experienced climbers, basic via ferrata equipment and possibly a short safety rope (for children) are recommended.
Safety guidelines:Check the weather forecast before starting the route. In summer, approaching thunderstorms in the Hintergebirge are often noticed too late. There is no exit option along the Triftsteig. Sure-footedness and freedom from dizziness - only for experienced climbers!!!
