Here in the Gasteinertal, the possibilities for mountain bikers and cyclists are as diverse as the landscape itself. Gastein is at the very top of the popularity scale among bikers. The diverse routes up to the highest summit are as popular as the leisurely routes for amateur cyclists and families. Do you want to rack up the meters? Then head out into the Gasteinertal on road bike. If you would rather head uphill and downhill, simply take your bike with you to the Dorfgastein gondola, which will transport you and your bike to the top of the mountain! You can then enjoy a racing ride down into the valley, where mountains and forest trails become your personal bike park!
Whether uphill, downhill, family tours, e-bike experiences, or road biking fun – everyone will find their favorite route in Gastein.
In the hotel you can rent city bikes, and at the bike rental in town you can rent mountain bikes as well as e-bikes.
