Dachstein – a place of longing

In the UNESCO World Heritage region of Hallstatt Dachstein/Salzkammergut, untouched nature meets culture. The picturesque towns of Bad Goisern on Lake Hallstatt, Gosau am Dachstein, Hallstatt and Obertraun enchant visitors with their exciting history – and their sporting present. Crystal-clear lakes and majestic mountains provide a unique picture-book backdrop. The approximately 800 km network of tours leads through the UNESCO World Heritage region of Hallstatt Dachstein/Salzkammergut – to hidden natural beauties and highlights such as Lake Gosau, Lake Hallstatt and the Ewige Wand.

The Dachstein Round Tour is a must on any bucket list: The tour offers various options between 182 and 269 km around the Dachstein massif and through the breathtaking landscape. Challenging climbs included. The new meeting point is the new BSFZ Trail Area at the foot of the impressive Krippenstein – here you will find a World Cup-level track in a small but versatile trail area.

Those looking for even more of a challenge can try their luck at the iconic MTB Salzkammergut Trophy – alongside over 4,000 enthusiastic bikers of all ages, from gravel to e-MTB scavenger hunts. Speaking of e-MTBs: all routes are also suitable for e-mountain bikes. Charging stations for bikes and bikers are available in inns and alpine huts.
