Tour
  • 420 - 425 km by bike, 11 minutes by train
  • mostly flat, 2nd and 3rd cycling day with climbs, mostly on cycle paths
Tauernschleuse closed 2025

We will not start the cycle tour on the Alpe Adria Cycle Path from Salzburg until July 17th, as the railway tunnel through the Main Alpine Ridge at Böckstein/Bad Gastein is closed until then and a 4 - 5 hour bus transfer on the Tauern motorway from St. Johann im Pongau and Spittal would therefore be necessary. In addition, the most beautiful route from the main Alpine ridge to the Carinthian lakes cannot be travelled!
