Velorama: You can't get
more panorama.
Unless you ride it twice.
The ‘Steinbloß farms’ stand like spotted cattle on the hills of the Mühlviertel. The Velorama meanders between them. 108 road bike and gravel tours await you: almost 9,000 kilometres and more than 160,000 metres of altitude. But let's not talk about numbers, let's talk about a philosophy. The Velorama is premium, but not out of the ordinary.
throw off ballast. Breathe out. And at the same time
with yourself: The air in Velorama is as fresh
like a peppermint. Logical - you hardly ever
you hardly ever meet cars here. But gravel and
racing bike fans. People who confidently
do their thing. Logical - here you don't brake
for nobody - you don't have to
not have to. Because here you are completely yourself.
Welcome to Velorama

A borderline experience Granite, gravel, natural trails. The hard granite surface allows even the most experienced bikers to experience unexpected limits. Physically, but also geographically - because the route stretches across three countries. Its history as the last region before the Iron Curtain has also paved the way for its own mentality, which is described as adventurous, mysterious and quiet - perfect for a great cycling adventure.

Endurance finally pleasant. Here, regeneration begins as soon as you start pedalling. Because you cycle between 700 and 1,000 metres above sea level, in the middle of one of the best air zones in Austria. There is always a light breeze and it is pleasantly cool even in summer. The oxygen content is high, your concentration is high and your head is clear. Anyone who rides here quickly realises why some of the toughest endurance athletes come from this region.
Stories from history
Stories from history
The Mühlviertel was once situated on the Iron Curtain - today it is open, well developed and perfectly located in the border triangle. And yet it still feels a little isolated. This, as the locals say, "entrische" silence and uniqueness, almost mysterious, but always full of adventure - it has remained. The best way to discover it here is by bike, as the many tarmac and virtually untrodden side roads are a particular trademark.

Best view, because there is no summit in the way. Those who challenge themselves here will be richly rewarded. The panorama opens up in all directions and guarantees spectacular sunrises and sunsets every day, which you can experience from the hills between 700 and 1,000 metres above sea level.

Even Adalbert Stifter dedicated a book to granite: for him, it was more than just rock - a symbol of peace, resistance and beauty. The exposed rocks were regarded as an inspiration, as places of power and silent landmarks of the region. As the saying goes: "Feldspar, quartz and mica, my bike and I never forget those three!"
Power up & downshift
Power up & downshift
Enjoy the highest 4-star density in the region: a biking equation that works: gentle hills, tough routes. You will find at least three selected tours in each of the Velorama partner hotels - all of them start right on the doorstep and lead right into the centre of the dense network of routes. Downshifting is just as easy here: Velorama accommodation is perfectly equipped for bikers - with a workshop corner, lockable bike garage and cleaning station. There is also cross-border cuisine in organic quality. And where the three best beer brewing nations in the world meet, the palate can be perfectly refreshed.
Go on holiday!
The people in Upper Austria make holidays special - and they do their work full of drive, with depth and never without charm. Like host Alexander Pilsl, for example.
No telephone. No traffic. Just nature and ideas. When Alexander Pilsl wants to recharge his batteries and sort out his visions, he prefers to do so on his racing bike.
"Endorphins and thoughts bubble up. You're completely with yourself - even if you're riding in a group," says the Guglwald hotelier. And because biking enriches him personally, he quickly realised: "It will also make our guests happy."
Reason enough to push ahead with the Velorama - a cycling pleasure destination in the Mühlviertel - as a project close to his heart. "The topography of the Mühlviertel is simply made for biking: gentle hills - up and down - power spots and gourmet oases - power up and take a break: All of this is very close together."
