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.

Recommended season:

On the saddles, get set, go: Since the connection of the two cycle paths R8 and R31, the Steyrtalradweg is rideable on a length of about 75 kilometers - from the iron city Steyr to Spital am Pyhrn.Directions:
The family bike trail R8 and then further the bike trail R31 nestles close to the Steyr River with its bathing places, rest stops, adventure stations, viewpoints and canyons - from Steyr in the north to Spital am Pyhrn in the south. Due to the largely flat route, the Steyrtal Cycle Path is also very suitable for families.
Once the steam locomotive roared here
The section Untergrünburg - Klaus follows almost continuously the route of the Steyrtalbahn. Today it is operated as a museum railroad between Steyr and Grünburg. From Klaus, the old 210-meter-long railroad bridge was specially adapted for the bike path connection. To make it suitable for cycling, the old wooden sleepers and wooden posts were removed and replaced by a road deck made of profiled sheet metal grates. The Klaus stage mostly passes close to the long reservoir. If you want, you can swim, fish or rent a boat here before reaching the stage destination of Steyrling. Back on the main route, we continue to the St. Pankraz junction, where the newly developed Pyhrn-Priel Panorama branches off. We continue on the R8 to the village, where there is a charging station for e-bikes.
ATTENTION: In St. Pankraz the name and number of the cycle path change!
From now on we ride on the National Park Kalkalpen Radweg R31. Along the Teichl we go through forests and a beautiful valley floor in the direction of Spital am Pyhrn. However, we stay on the main route and pass the station Roßleithen to Windischgarsten. Here you first turn right towards Gleinkersee before turning left towards Spital am Pyhrn.
