Road Bike Holidays in Austria Salzburg Salzkammergut

Abersee - Strobl, Salzburg, Österreich

Road cycle tour from inn to inn incl. luggage transfer, ...

Demanding road cycle tour from the city of Salzburg into the lakes & mountains districts. Expect some steep climbs (not too lang), fast descends, wonderful lakes and villages and good roads for cycling.


Around the city of Salzburg you will find many road cycle trails and therefore we had the world road cycle championship in 2006. Whenever you leave the state of Salzburg, you have to cross over a mountain pass. Some of them are little and the others demand some fitness. On this tour you will cycle into the medium size mountains of Salzburg, Upper Austria, Styria and Bavaria.



On this tour you will cross some medium size mountain passes into the famous Salzkammergut region. You will stay for overnight in the Unesco World Heritage side of Hallstatt, will pass wonderful lakes and will enjoy a scenery looking like alpine pastures.



There will be also many sides along the tours and you have time to visit them. One of it is certainly the former emperor city of Bad Ischl where you should see the castle and the famous pastry shop of Zauner.



Sound of Music: On this tour you will have the same views like you see them in the movie, can visit the wedding church in Mondsee or see all the major sides in Salzburg. In Salzburg they also offer Sound of Music taxi tours.



Characteristic: On each day you will have at least two options. Therefore a good fitness will be fine for his tour because you may use the train or a ship to shorten the short tours if necessary. You will mainly follow small side roads, follow cycle trails and sometimes short parts on larger roads. Especially in summer time there can be more traffic on the lake side roads but most of the time only on the weekends. There will be many up and downs and some ascends are really demanding but not very long (2 to 5 km)
