Why mountain biking in the Dachstein Salzkammergut is worth the effort

Whilst the sweat is dripping from your forehead, you summon up all your strength to complete the last few metres of ascent. At the end of this strenuous stage of your tour you will feel all your muscles aching and you will be looking forward to cooling off afterwards in one of the lakes of the Dachstein Salzkammergut.

Content, refreshed and in good spirits, you get back on your mountain bike and, at the end of your exciting tour, return to your Bikers‘ Hotel.  Here you can discuss the stresses and strains as well as the highlights of your day with like-minded guests over an electrolyte drink. Such is the life of a mountain biker in the Dachstein Salzkammergut.

 

Our mountain bike tours require good physical technique and stamina

It is worth conquering 1000 metres of altitude in one stretch during a mountain bike tour of the Echerntal valley in Hallstatt. You need to have built up the muscles in your calves and thighs for this! Just as for athletes competing in the Salzkammergut Trophy, the narrow trail along the Ewigen Wand in Bad Goisern am Hallstättersee provides not just an adrenaline rush, but also stunning panoramic views. If you are in need of a breather, we recommend a more leisurely tour over high mountain terrain surrounded by woodlands and meadows in Gosau at Dachstein.

Prefer something a little less strenuous? No problem. Throughout our region there are numerous mountain bike tours for beginners.

Whether some Kaiserschmarrn (local sweet delicacy) up on the Iglmoosalm in Gosau am Dachstein or a cool Hallstatt Zwickl beer at the Steegwirt in Bad Goisern am Hallstättersee takes your fancy, a stop-off at one of the numerous mountain huts and inns of the Dachstein Salzkammergut is a must when you are mountain biking.  For recommendations please see our Delicacies Tours.
