The Gaisberg is one of Salzburg's local mountains and a popular destination for cyclists. No matter which of the three ascents you choose, the last two to three kilometers are identical and are often referred to as the "killer final."

The main road from the north begins in Guggenthal and has a rather irregular elevation profile. Between the forest passages you have a beautiful view of Salzburg and the surrounding mountains. Be careful: the road is very busy on weekends and the daily bus service should not be ignored when descending.

The ascent from the west is via Gänsbrunnstraße and is certainly the steepest option. The road is mainly used by residents, which is why traffic is relatively limited. If you need a little time to breathe, you can do so halfway with a wonderful view.

Be careful when descending: in the upper third there are two artificial bumps that protrude into the road from the left and right. There are also free-roaming peacocks (yes, peacocks).

Although the first part of the southern ascent, starting in Glasenbach, may be a bit tough, the average gradient of the third variant is lower. As soon as you leave the Schwaitl Landesstraße and follow the signs to Oberwinkel, the traffic also becomes less. From the afternoon onwards, this is the shady side of the Gaisberg, which is why the descent on this side can be a bit cooler. Be careful: many cyclists prefer this side both up and down. Therefore, always ride on the far right and expect oncoming traffic.

Whichever variant you choose, once you reach the top you will be rewarded with a fantastic view - the Gaisberg is definitely a highlight, both for mountain bikers and racing cyclists.

Quite a tough climb, but the view makes up for all the effort.

Probably the local mountain for every (racing) cyclist from Salzburg. Many roads lead up. But at the Gasthaus Zistlalm, all paths lead together, leaving you with 2km to a 360 ° panoramic view of Salzburg, the Salzkammergut, the Osterhorn Group and the Berchtesgardner Land.
