Directions:The Gosaukammblick Runde is a rather demanding gravel bike route in the picturesque surroundings of Gosau. With a total length of about 29 kilometers and a varied route through the Gosau valley, it offers gravel bikers an exciting adventure that combines scenic beauty, sporting challenges, and culinary experiences.
The route starts in Mittertal Gosau near the playground and the sports field. From there, you follow the Gosaubach, which winds through the idyllic Gosau valley. The clean mountain air and majestic mountains surround you in the first kilometers of the route, and you can already see the imposing Gosaukamm towering in the distance. Along the way, you will pass idyllic houses and traditional inns.
After crossing the state road at Gosauschmied, an exciting trail above the Gosaustausee awaits you. This section is demanding and requires your full attention. There is also a short carry section that tests the technical skills of gravel bikers. A challenging climb leads you further along the state road. The reward for your efforts is the breathtaking view of the Gosausee with the impressive Dachstein in the background, a true highlight of this route. Here you can fully enjoy the beauty of the lake and the surrounding mountains. From here you follow a forest road that climbs in serpentines to the rear Grubalm. The landscape becomes increasingly spectacular, and along the forest road, there are numerous opportunities for impressive photos.
The path continues below the raised bog until you reach the Schleifsteinbrüche. Here you can stop at the Badstumhütte and enjoy regional delicacies like Pofesen and hearty snacks. This cozy hut is a popular resting place and offers the perfect opportunity to recharge before continuing the route.
From the Badstumhütte, you ride over the Schäferalm and pass the Schmiedsipplalm, all on well-ridable forest roads. The descent takes you down into the Gosau Vordertal to the Jagerbauern and on to the fish pond where, after registering at the fish hut, you have the opportunity to fish yourself.
After passing the fish pond, you follow the bike path back until you turn into the Stotzlgasse. This section of the route offers further fascinating views of the surrounding mountains and meadows.
Finally, you cycle along the Gosaubach back to the starting point at the sports field and playground in Mittertal Gosau. The Gosaukammblick Runde is a route that combines adventure, nature, and culinary delights and gives you unforgettable impressions of the place Gosau am Dachstein. The combination of demanding trails, beautiful views, and culinary highlights makes this route an unforgettable experience for gravel bikers who want to explore the beauty of the Austrian Alps.
Tip:The hearty Pofesen (regional sweet dish) of the hut keeper Sieglinde from the Badstumhütte are an absolute must in the middle of the route.
Safety guidelines:The Gosaukammblick Runde is a circular route with the number S301 and is not signposted. Routes with 300 numbers have a route length of up to max. 30 km. The stated travel times are pure net travel times.
To make the day perfect, you can find here a few tips that are worth considering before every route. Furthermore, be aware that you are moving in the mountains and therefore personal responsibility plays a big role. This concerns the selection of the route to be covered, the expected weather, and the occasional dead zone where you will find no mobile connection.

As new players in the field of mountain and leisure sports, we gravel bikers, mountain bikers, and e-mtb riders are especially obliged to behave appropriately.
In Graubünden, bikers and hikers share the trails. A project that should become a model. But that only works with mutual respect. Black sheep set us back years.

1. The tours presented for hiking, walking, biking and road biking, mountain biking, motorbiking, horseback riding, climbing, cross-country skiing, and going on skiing and snowshoe tours etc. are to be considered non-paid tour recommendations and only serve as non-binding information. We have no intention of concluding a contract with the users of this website. The utilisation of the data does not lead to the establishment of a contract with us.
The data may only be used for private use; any commercial use is prohibited. In particular, it is not permissible to offer the data on commercially run websites, file-sharing platforms etc. or to use it to develop commercial products. Downloading data does not imply that users are granted rights to the data concerned.
The tour recommendations posted were created with utmost care; nevertheless, we assume no liability for the correctness and completeness of the information.
We point out that neither the tour recommendations included on this website nor the associated data and information were posted by us, but rather by third parties (Art. 16 Austrian E-Commerce Act). We have no influence on whether the details provided (e.g. distance, level of difficulty, change in altitude, description etc.) are authentic, correct and complete. We do not review these third-party contents. For this reason, we assume no liability for the authenticity, correctness and completeness of the information.
Construction-related measures or other influences (e.g. landslides and similar occurrences) can lead to temporary or permanent changes in a route (e.g. loss of a bridge and similar occurrences). Such occurrences can lead to part of the route or the entire route becoming impassable.
The use of the data as well as undertaking (riding, walking, taking etc.) the recommended tours or using the network of paths occurs at users’ own risk and on their authority. In particular, users themselves are responsible for the choice of route, outdoor orientation, adherence to traffic rules, supplies and equipment for tours listed in Point 1 (e.g. bicycle etc.), wearing a helmet, estimating their own fitness, recognising dangers and maintaining an appropriate velocity. We exclude ourselves from any liability whatsoever for damages, in particular accidents, that occur whilst taking part in the recommended tours.
2.Some of the tours lead over roads with normal traffic conditions. Please observe that there is an increased risk which can be avoided by means of appropriate attention and proper estimation and implementation of one’s own abilities. For this reason, please travel a route that is unfamiliar to you slowly and with special care. Pay constant attention to potential dangers and always observe traffic. Do not leave the routes featured in descriptions.
The potential use of private roads, in particular forestry roads and agricultural transport roads, can be subject to legal restrictions, which must be observed and adhered to.
The normal traffic rules apply. Each user (e.g. biker, motorbiker) is responsible for adhering to these rules and maintaining his/her bike/vehicle and its equipment (lights, brakes etc.) in good working order. Each user is also responsible for ensuring that he/she rides at a velocity that is appropriate for the conditions and his/her skill level and for maintaining sufficient distance to the rider in front. We explicitly recommend adjusting velocity to correspond to the respective field of vision, wearing a helmet, using reflective clothing (or similar) and employing bicycle lights in line with regulations.
3.Each tour requires good physical fitness as well as detailed planning. We explicitly recommend only taking the tours in the case of optimal healthiness.
We recommend that you conclude an accident and liability insurance policy. Use an onboard computer that displays the respective kilometres travelled per day and is calibrated for the front wheel.
4.Special for mountain bikers – Fair-play rules:
Mountain biking is one of the most wonderful outdoor leisure-time activities. Whilst biking or on a mountain biking tour, mountains and lakes, meadows and cabins are re-discovered in new ways. A couple of rules for fair play in the forest help to avoid conflicts whilst mountain biking.
a.Pedestrians have the right of way: We are accommodating and friendly to pedestrians and hikers. Upon encountering these fellow travellers, we alert them by using the bicycle bell and slowly overtake them. We avoid paths with heavy pedestrian traffic altogether. Take nature into account: We do not leave refuse behind.
b.The braking distance should be half of the total distance visible: We ride at a controlled pace, are ready to brake and maintain a braking distance half as long as the total distance visible, especially in curves, because we always have to count on obstacles on the path. Damage to the path, stones, branches, wood piles, grazing livestock, cattle grids, barriers, tractor-type forestry machines and authorised vehicles pose dangers that we need to be ready for.
c.Don’t drink and drive!: Do not drink alcohol when mountain biking. Take care at stop-off points (dealing with bike racks, dirty shoes or clothing).
It is obligatory to provide first aid!
d.Marked routes, closed paths and blockades: Keep to the marked routes, observe the blockades and accept that these roads are primarily for agricultural and forestry use!
Blockades can often not be avoided and are in your own interest. Biking beyond the intended path and outside of opening times is punishable and turns us into illegal bikers.
e.We are guests in the forest and behave accordingly, including vis-à-vis forestry and hunting staff. Whilst mountain biking, mobile telephones and music players are forbidden! Biking requires your full attention.
f.Avoid unnecessary noise. Out of consideration to the animals living in the wild, we only bike during full daylight. As a principle, we always wear our helmet (even when riding uphill)! Don’t forget emergency supplies: We always have a repair set and bandages along.
g.Don’t overestimate your skills: We should not overdo it when it comes to biking technique and physical fitness. Take the level of difficulty posed by the route into consideration and make a precise estimate of your experience and skills as a biker (braking, bell, lights)!
h.Close gates: We approach grazing livestock at a walking pace and close every gate behind us. We should avoid causing escape and panic reactions in the animals. Nothing stands in the way of the fun and athletic challenge in the mountains and forests!
i.Traffic rules: The general traffic rules (StVO) apply for all the mountain biking routes and we adhere to them. Our bike therefore needs to be in perfect technical condition and equipped in line with the traffic rules, including brakes, a bell and lights. We inspect and service our mountain bikes regularly anyway.
