Bike & Taste between Dachstein and Tauern
The Salzburger Sportwelt unites seven bike-friendly summer destinations under one helmet: Flachau, Wagrain-Kleinarl, St. Johann, Radstadt, Altenmarkt-Zauchensee, Eben, and Filzmoos. Together, they form a varied biking region with easy valley cycle paths, scenic alpine hut tours, and sporty elevation gains. Leisure bikers cruise comfortably from hut to hut, while ambitious mountain bikers tackle long day tours and alpine challenges.
Especially e-mountain bikers benefit from the wide range of routes, effortlessly reaching panoramic high-altitude trails and peaceful side valleys. Along the way, rustic alpine huts, regional delicacies, and breathtaking views of the Dachstein and Tauern mountains await. It is exactly this combination of sporting diversity, nature experiences, and culinary enjoyment that makes the Salzburger Sportwelt a biking destination for every type of rider.

Here, the Tauern mountains lie at your feet, with views of more than 150 peaks including the Großglockner, Großvenediger, and Dachstein. Are you ready for the ultimate MTB adventure?
If you prefer a more relaxed MTB holiday in Flachau, you will also find varied tours for every level here in the heart of Salzburger Land: families enjoy easy sections along the Enns cycle path, while sporty mountain bikers take on the Frauenalm loop or the Lackenalm tour.
