Mountain biking in Upper Austria
Enduring calves are in demand on 3,000 kilometres of mountain bike trails in the Salzkammergut, Mühlviertel and Pyhrn-Priel. The well-known Dachstein Tour rewards with magnificent views and the "Transnational Park Tour" with a green wilderness in the Kalkalpen and Gesäuse National Parks. Along the way you will repeatedly encounter rustic alpine pastures, huts and warm hosts.
The Salzkammergut classic - perfect for a long weekend or as the crowning glory of a biking holiday. Nature does somersaults around the Dachstein. Rest stops at mountain huts and swimming included. The three variants (4,700 to 7,900 metres in altitude, 182 to 269 km) can be booked as a package with luggage transfer.
Maximum variety, packed into 6 days. This technically demanding tour offers marvellous views of the Bohemian Forest and the Alps. The constant, sometimes crisp ups and downs add up to a sporty 270 km and 6,500 metres in altitude. Bookable as a package with luggage transfer.
In 8 stages through two protected areas. This multi-day tour covers 450 kilometres and 11,500 metres in altitude and takes in the Kalkalpen National Park, including the Enns and Steyr valleys and the Styrian Gesäuse. Gentle hills meet rugged rocks, species-rich alpine pastures and water-rich forests. Packages with luggage transfer.
Up and down the hills through the lower Mühlviertel: rustic forests, lush meadows, dark moors and lots of granite. The sights along the tour - from the brewery to the castle ruins - are also varied. You can start anywhere on the 188 km, 5,410 m round tour.
A long round trip (630 km and 14,500 metres in altitude) through the Salzkammergut, much tamer thanks to e-MTBs. Over hill and dale and past 15 lakes, the 10-day tour combines everything that delights summer holidaymakers in this corner of the world: beautiful places, cultivated culture and sinfully good food.
Upper Austria's mountain bike offer
Upper Austria's mountain bike offer, spread over six regions, covers all the usual types of off-road cycling: pleasant workouts on colourful natural trails. Action-packed downhilling on built lines and trails. The joy of collecting metres in altitude on challenging multi-day tours. Nature provides the perfect backdrop, from hilly and wide to wooded and alpine. And also the varied terrain ... Gravel, meadow and forest paths, but also roads and farm tracks make up the route network. More urban, but no less fun, are the pump tracks, which are particularly popular with the little ones. And by the way: whether it's the Salzkammergut Trophy, Granitmarathon, Austria Grand Prix or Wurbauerkogel Downhill: the events are well worth a trip!
