Road bike: the Grossglockner High Alpine Road – a classic

The “holy mountain” for road cyclists. Starting from Fusch, you’ll climb over 1,200 metres in elevation in one go to reach the Fuschertörl Pass – right from the doorstep of glockna, no driving, no detours. A must for any bucket list and the destination of the legendary Glocknerkönig challenge. Anyone who makes it to the top will understand why people make a special trip just for this.

Difficulty: challenging

Elevation gain: approx. 1,200 metres

Road bike: Oberpinzgau – Pass Thurn or as far as Krimml

For those who want to take it easy on their legs – but still can’t resist a little speed: the route through Oberpinzgau towards Pass Thurn or on to the Krimml Waterfalls offers magnificent scenery without the steep gradients of the High Alpine Road. Anyone who rides all the way to Krimml can take the local train back – with their bike by their side and a smile on their face.

Difficulty: moderate

Length: variable

MTB: Brucker Berg – Seeblick Circuit

Uphill through the woods, reach the top, look down at Lake Zell – and then glide back downhill. The Brucker Berg – Seeblick Circuit is the perfect MTB experience for anyone who loves flowing trails and stunning views. There are also hundreds of kilometres of marked MTB trails around Fusch and Kaprun: from challenging uphill sections to technical single trails to suit all levels.

Difficulty: moderate to challenging

E-bike: Lake Zell Circuit

Take it easy, but still get there. The Lake Zell Circuit is perfect for a day of relaxation, a family outing, or for anyone who’d prefer to explore the region at a leisurely pace. The Tauern Cycle Trail takes you towards the lake – with mountain views, crystal-clear water, and a well-deserved coffee on the shore. You can get e-bikes for free directly from us.
