Road cycling in the Salzkammergut

The varied landscape around Lake Fuschl offers perfect conditions for extended road cycling tours. From flat routes along deep blue lakes to hilly tours with panoramic views – in the Salzburg region, road cyclists will find routes of all levels of difficulty, ranging from 20 to 200 kilometres.

Discover the lakes of the Salzkammergut on two wheels and enjoy the unique interplay of lake and mountain landscapes in one of Austria's most beautiful road cycling regions.

Gravel bike: lots of routes to choose from

A gravel bike opens up a whole new world of possibilities around Lake Fuschl: forest and gravel paths lead to Hintersee or the Lärchenhütte hut on the Zwölferhorn, for example. Varied routes, magnificent views and lots of nature – this is what freedom on two wheels feels like.

Mountain bike recommendations

Whether uphill to the alpine pastures or leisurely along the lake – the Fuschlsee region in the Salzkammergut offers fantastic mountain bike tours for all fitness levels. Between the Osterhorn Group, Lake Fuschl and Lake Hintersee, you can expect varied routes through picturesque nature: from easy lake circuits to tours with panoramic views to sporty stages of the BergeSeen eTrail.

A special tip for technology enthusiasts: the pump track in Koppl, just a few minutes from Fuschl. Here you can hone your riding technique, balance and cornering skills – ideal preparation for your next trail adventure in the Salzkammergut.

E-bikes: easier altitude gain


Whether you prefer city, mountain or gravel e-bikes, there is a suitable route for everyone around Fuschl am See.

As the terrain around Fuschl am See is hilly in all directions, an e-bike allows you to discover more, travel further and enjoy a more intense experience with the same amount of effort. E-mountain bikes are available for hire (for a fee) at the Hotel Seewinkel – perfect for exploring the region at a leisurely pace.
