Salzkammergut Mountains Cycle Tour

After arriving at the Wolfgangsee, you will meet up for a welcome briefing and bike fitting, before enjoying personal time for the rest of the evening. We recommend that you take a stroll along the lake to take in the beautiful views!

In the morning there will be plenty of time to explore the area around the Wolfgangsee before heading out on your cycling adventure. Today’s short tour leads you at first along the lovely lake Wolfgang to St. Gilgen. You will then cycle via the 'Scharfling’ and past the romantic Lake Krottensee to Lake Mondsee. The towering sheer rock face 'Drachenwand’ (dragon’s wall) will be your constant companion until you get to the well-known lake resort with its palace and abbey church.

Today the cycle path will take you along the banks of Lake Mondsee to the dark-green Lake Attersee. You will continue onwards to the north shore and then through the Aurach Valley to Lake Traunsee. Gmunden, famous for its pottery, and Ort Palace have often been used as a movie backdrop. Overnight you will stay in the charming town of Altmünster.

Day 4 of the tour will see you follow the cycle path from Ebensee along the river Traun to the famous Bad Ischl. From here you will take a train ride and delve into the deepest part of Salzkammergut, Bad Aussee, where you have the option of doing a short bike tour to Lake Altaussee. There is also a marvelous circular path around the lake amidst the surrounding mountains.

Today’s cycle tour is all about the Ausseer Lakes. Lake Grundlsee and Lake Toplitz are world-famous due to their crystal-clear water and the glorious mountain setting that they can be found in. You will cycle past Lake Altaussee one more time before you return to the spa resort in Bad Aussee.

Today you will head from one imperial spa resort to the next, stopping off at Hallstatt – one of the world’s most stunning lake resorts – along the way. With an entire epoche named after it, naturally there is a lot to see and visit! The world’s oldest salt mine and the bone house are only a few examples as to how this charming little place has attracted countless visitors from all over the globe. In Bad Ischl the emperor Franz Josef and his wife Sissi were regulars during the summer and loved spending time in the well-known Cafè Zauner and enjoying a slice of the incredibly delicious bundt cake 'Guglhupf’.

Today you head along the Ischler Ache over to Lake Wolfgangsee. Today you have plenty of time again, which allows you to explore St. Wolfgang and to visit the hotel 'Weißes Rössl’ and the pilgrimage church. We recommend a final boat trip on the lake or even a ride on the cog railway to the top of the Schafberg mountain with an altitude of 1782m!

After breakfast, you will pack your things and say goodbye to the serene shores of the Wolfgangsee for an individual departure.
