Cycling Holidays in the Salzkammergut Austria - From Salzburg to Bad Ischl: What could be more enjoyable than biking on designated bike paths around picturesque lakes and unspoiled countryside while refreshing your soul? A tour through the Salzkammergut lakes region of Austria takes you to the Unesco World Heritage Site of Hallstatt, along with the Emperor city of Bad Ischl and of course, the famous city of Salzburg.

This cycling tour takes you to the Ausseerland where you will enjoy alpine pastures surrounded by high mountains. Nestled between the lakes are charming cities such as Bad Aussee, St. Gilgen and Oberhofen. A highlight of the tour is a visit to Salzburg, filled with its historic old town, the fortress and amazing pastry!

Tour Details: You'll be enjoying designated bike paths for the majority of this tour. On some occasions, you'll follow lightly-travelled side roads through small towns. The path follows a few uphill grades, but they don't last long. Plus, you get amazing views at the top! We recommend you be in average or above average shape to take this tour.
