Mountain bikers along the GosauseePhoto: Erwin Haiden, Filzmoos Tourismus
This variant extends the classic Dachstein circuit with additional loops and extra elevation gain, passing through three federal states: Salzburg, Upper Austria, and Styria. On the more than 180-kilometer circuit, mountain bikers can expect impressive landscapes and varied stages.
A highlight is the Ewige Wand (Bad Goisern), which is scenically stunning and relatively easy to ride technically. The entire Dachstein Experience is designed so it can comfortably be completed in 3 to 4 days as a multi-day mountain bike holiday.
