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](https://dachstein.salzkammergut.at/en/oesterreich-stadt-ort/detail/430000973/hallstatt.html "Link öffnet sich in neuem Fenster"). You need to have built up the muscles in your calves and thighs for this! Just as for athletes competing in the [Salzkammergut Trophy](https://dachstein.salzkammergut.at/en/oesterreich-veranstaltung/detail/48220006/salzkammergut-mountainbike-trophy.html), the narrow trail along the Ewigen Wand in [Bad at Lake Hallstatt](https://dachstein.salzkammergut.at/en/oesterreich-stadt-ort/detail/430000966/bad-goisern-am-hallstaettersee.html "Link öffnet sich in neuem Fenster") 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**](https://dachstein.salzkammergut.at/en/oesterreich-stadt-ort/detail/430000970/gosau-at-dachstein.html "Link öffnet sich in neuem Fenster"). Prefer something a little less strenuous? No problem. Throughout our region there are numerous mountain bike tours for [beginners](https://dachstein.salzkammergut.at/en/easy-mountain-bike-tours.html). ### ### **Panoramic Mountainbike Tours** Dachstein, Gosaukamm, [Lake Hallstatt](https://dachstein.salzkammergut.at/informieren/unsere-seen/hallstaettersee.html), [Lake Gosau](https://dachstein.salzkammergut.at/informieren/unsere-seen/gosausee.html), [Hallstatt](https://dachstein.salzkammergut.at/en/oesterreich-stadt-ort/detail/430000973/hallstatt.html "Link öffnet sich in neuem Fenster"), [Obertraun](https://dachstein.salzkammergut.at/en/oesterreich-stadt-ort/detail/430000976/obertraun-am-hallstaettersee.html "Link öffnet sich in neuem Fenster"), [Bad Goisern at Lake Hallstatt](https://dachstein.salzkammergut.at/en/oesterreich-stadt-ort/detail/430000966/bad-goisern-am-hallstaettersee.html "Link öffnet sich in neuem Fenster"), [**Gosau at Dachstein**](https://dachstein.salzkammergut.at/en/oesterreich-stadt-ort/detail/430000970/gosau-at-dachstein.html "Link öffnet sich in neuem Fenster") – in whichever direction you look you will marvel at the unparalleled, magnificent backdrop of the Dachstein Salzkammergut with its mountains and lakes. Stay still for a moment. Put one foot on the ground, take a deep breath and admire the views ([@visitdachsteinsalzkammergut](https://www.instagram.com/visitdachsteinsalzkammergut/)). If you happen to be by Lake Hallstatt or the Lake Gosau right now, take the time to sample the water and how good it tastes (guaranteed drinking water quality). This is a perfect way to cool down before, during or after your mountain bike tour. Tips for where to go for the best views are highlighted in our [Panorama Tours](https://dachstein.salzkammergut.at/en/adventure/top-panorama-tours.html). ### **Heart food will provide lots of energy for the next stages of your mountain bike tour** Even if you are completing one of the more challenging tours, you can always enjoy a stop-off to sample some delicious food and drink. In our region you will be spoilt for choice! Whether some Kaiserschmarrn (local sweet delicacy) up on the Iglmoosalm in Gosau am Dachstein or a cool Hallstatt Zwickl beer at the [Steegwirt ](https://dachstein.salzkammergut.at/en/oesterreich-gastronomie/detail/101702/steegwirt.html)in Bad Goisern at Lake Hallstatt 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.
