Enchanting Salzburg & The Saalach Valley
Kaernten
Austria
“Spectacular Alpine Routes”
Experience hidden waterfalls, pristine mountain lakes, exquisite alpine lodging, and warm Austrian hospitality. Our route captures the essence of Austria by bike, as we take in the Zell and Pinzgau regions and intimately explore the beautiful Saalach Valley.
Our Austria program includes ground transportation from and to Munich. Our routes feature EASY CYCLING through two river valleys with no major climbs. You’ll actually lose 1,500 vertical feet by the time we reach Salzburg! Reasonable daily distances of 25 – 45 miles, allow you to truly appreciate this magical region. Much of the route follows along traffic-free bike paths!
Lodging in authentic Austrian chalets is surely a highlight! We’ll experience just three different hotels over eight nights. (You won’t have to pack & unpack each day.) Hotels include the four star Krimmlerfaelle, Alpin Sport, and the luxurious Gruenauerhof. We hope you’ll join us for what will be an unforgettable journey with breathtaking cycling and scenery.
