Mountain bike holidays in Styria

Styria is particularly impressive around the Ausseerland Salzkammergut – a traditional destination long sought after for summer retreats and active recreation. Between Lake Altausseer, Lake Grundlsee and the striking Loser, you’ll discover a picture-perfect landscape that’s tailor-made for mountain biking adventures. Forest tracks lead you to alpine pastures with stunning views, nature trails wind their way through dense forests, and time and again spectacular views of the surrounding lakes and mountains open up.

Set directly against the backdrop of the Dachstein massif, there are varied tours for connoisseurs to discover. Highlights such as the Dachstein Circuit, the Ewige Wand or the trails on the Loser combine sporting challenges with unique experiences of nature during a mountain biking holiday in Styria. If you’re out and about on an e-mountain bike, you’ll benefit not only from an excellently developed network of trails, but also from the numerous places to stop for refreshments along the route.

Styria is a very versatile cycling destination. In Schladming-Dachstein, the Planai Bike Park, Reiteralm Trails and modern trail areas provide plenty of action on two wheels. The Schöckl Trail Area near Graz and the Wexl Trails in the east of the province round off the offering with flowing routes and riding fun for every ability level.

But what makes your mountain bike holiday in Styria so special is the combination of alpine mountain biking and a culture of enjoyment in the full sense of the word. After all, the Styrians are world champions when it comes to enjoying life. Whether on your plate or on the trail, in a glass of wine or whilst relaxing at a spa – the Green Heart of Austria beats for all things beautiful and delicious. Hardly any tour ends without a stop at an alpine hut or a view of a glistening mountain lake. Between the Dachstein, Ausseerland and the Salzkammergut, nature, exercise and cuisine blend together to create a cycling holiday that goes far beyond mere altitude gain.
