Cycling tours in Austria between rivers, lakes and the Alps
Cycling tours in Austria range from paths along rivers and lakeside circuits to tours through wine-growing regions and Alpine valleys. In Burgenland, wine-growing regions and Lake Neusiedl characterise many scenic routes; in Lower Austria, it is the Mostviertel region and river valleys; and in the Salzburg region, lakes and valleys. Styria and Tyrol round off the spectrum with the Murtal valley, vineyards, the River Inn and alpine scenery.
Specific routes illustrate the differences: the panoramic loop to Walchsee, listed on Velontour as 45.6 km long with 260 metres of elevation gain, is classified as easy, as is the Murradweg route, which is 36 km long with 216 metres of elevation gain. The Traisental Vineyard Cycle Route combines cycling with the wine-growing landscape over 33.2 km and 151 metres of elevation gain. This allows you to choose your route in Austria based on landscape, level of difficulty and moments of enjoyment.
How to plan your cycle tour in Austria effectively
Choosing the right cycle tour in Austria starts with asking yourself what sort of cycling day you’d like: a relaxed ride along a lake, a challenging route with elevation gain, or a varied journey through different landscapes. The clearer you are about the experience you’re looking for, the easier it will be to find a route that really suits you.
To help you narrow down your choices, use the filters for region, distance, elevation gain and difficulty level. These narrow down the options to those tours that suit your time constraints and fitness level. It’s also worth taking a closer look at the tour description, as routes of similar length can feel very different depending on the terrain and gradients.
Once you’ve found your cycle tour, the next step is to explore the surrounding area and possible starting points. This way, your tour planning comes together to form a harmonious whole comprising the route, the landscape and your accommodation – all tailored to your personal cycling holiday in Austria.
