Road Cycling in SalzburgerLand
Diverse Landscapes - Perfect Infrastructure
In the three top road cycling destinations in SalzburgerLand, you’ll find places of outstanding natural beauty and physical challenges.
The road tours in the road cycling destination “SalzburgerLand - Salzkammergut” take you along some of the most beautiful lakes in SalzburgerLand and the adjacent Salzkammergut region. Even though there are hardly any extremely tough climbs, riding over the undulating hills also adds up to quite some elevation gain. A dip in one of the beautiful lakes dotting the region is the reward after a cycle tour or an energising break on the way.
Much more elevation gain awaits you in the road cycling destination “Salzburger Sportwelt”. In search for a decent challenge? Starting in Radstadt, the cycling marathon “Amadé” winds through the region on almost 150 kilometres with 2,000+ metres elevation gain. If you’d like to take a leisurely ride, we recommend cycling on the valley floor of the wide Ennstal valley.
The road cycling destination “Rad & Bike Pinzgau” is home to the king of climbs and arguably the hardest road in the country, the Grossglockner High Alpine Road (“Großglockner Hochalpenstraße”) climbing Austria’s highest mountain. The route around the massif “Hochkönig” (“Hochkönigrunde”) and the mountain pass “Gerlospass” are also great goals to achieve. More leisurely cycling awaits you in the Saalachtal valley. The cycle routes there also come with a stunning view of the majestic mountains.
