Mountain bike holiday in the Salzkammergut

In the UNESCO World Heritage Region of Hallstatt-Dachstein/Salzkammergut, unspoilt nature meets a rich and vibrant cultural and traditional landscape. The picturesque villages of Bad Goisern on Lake Hallstatt, Gosau on the Dachstein, Hallstatt and Obertraun will captivate you with their fascinating history and cultural heritage just as much as with their vibrant sporting scene. Crystal-clear lakes and majestic mountains provide the unique picture-book backdrop for your summer cycling holiday.

You can explore the most beautiful spots in the Salzkammergut on around 800 kilometres MTB routes and e-MTB tours. The extensive network of trails leads you to hidden natural gems, alpine pastures with stunning views and unique natural highlights such as the Ewige Wand or Lake Gosau with its spectacular Dachstein panorama. A new hotspot for trail enthusiasts is the BSFZ Trail Area at the foot of the Krippenstein: here, in this modern trail area with varied lines and a World Cup-standard course, new sporting stories are being written.

Anyone planning a mountain bike holiday in the Dachstein Salzkammergut simply cannot miss the legendary Dachstein Runde. Whether with or without the help of an electric assist, you can cycle clockwise around the impressive limestone plateau as you please – either over 182 km and 4,700 Hm or an epic 269 km and 7,900 Hm. But even on the Dachstein Circuit for leisure cyclists – through the Ausseerland region via the Viehbergalm into the Ennstal valley – you’ll always have the majestic summit of the Dachstein in view. The unique mountain scenery surrounding King Dachstein and the crystal-clear lakes of the Salzkammergut is something you simply have to experience for yourself.

If you’re looking for an even greater challenge, try your luck at the iconic MTB Salzkammergut Trophy – alongside over 4,000 enthusiastic cyclists of all ages, from gravel to e-MTB treasure hunts. Austria’s toughest mountain bike marathon has been a fixture in this fascinating mountain landscape since 1998. By the way, e-MTBs: all routes are also suitable for e-mountain bikes.

Get on your bike in the postcard scenery of the Salzkammergut! Plenty of flow, downhill, uphill & blue-green lakes await you in the natural alpine landscape.
