With forest and alpine pastures; gravel and asphalt under your tyres; diverse landscapes and beautiful views, the Salzburgerland offers the perfect Tours for gravel bikers. Picturesque, flat valleys alternate with challenging, panoramic climbs and flowing, exhilarating descents. With a gravel bike, Salzburgerland opens up endless possibilities for fun in the saddle.
As a gravel biker, you probably love variety and you're sure to find what you're looking for in this Collection. We have put together six Tours, three in Lungau and three near Flachau. Surrounded by the mighty peaks of the Tauern and the Katschberg, the Lungau promises fantastic mountain panoramas while mountain lakes and chuckling mountain streams provide refreshing stops. Salzburg's southernmost region offers countless kilometres of gravel and asphalt that will make your adventures unforgettable.
The mountain slopes around Flachau are not only perfect for skiing, but also for gravel biking. Up and down it goes in the heart of the Salzburgerland in the midst of the Tauern and Dachstein mountains! And no matter which Tour you choose, you can also look forward to culinary delights here and there are plenty of rustic huts and traditional inns in Salzburg's Lungau and around Flachau.
