The Salzburg lakes

Salzburg lake district tourism launches a unique project – the Velodrome

The Salzburg Lake District: four glistening blue lakes nestled in the beautiful Alpine foothills – each one just waiting to be discovered. Imposing views and numerous highlights of all kinds can be found around every corner. Incidentally, the rolling hills of the Lake District create the perfect base for incredible cycling experiences.

For this reason, we would like to present to you today the latest cycling initiative from Salzburg Lake District Tourism - the ‘Velodrom Salzburger Lake District’.

Facts & Figures about the Velodrome – Salzburg Lake District

  • The region presents itself under a ‘roof’: with a network of signposted cycle paths, bike rental stations, e-bike charging stations, cycling events and culinary highlights – so the enjoyment never ends. All this makes for a cycling paradise. The routes are constantly revised and kept up to date.
  • An incredible 600km of cycle paths meander through the Salzburg Lake District and are waiting to be discovered – and only 20 minutes by car from the city of Salzburg!
  • 14 signposted cycle tours of all difficulty levels are offered. From recreational cyclists to sports cyclists, everyone will find their level. Where does it go? On one of the four lakes Wallersee, Mattsee, Grabensee and Obertrumer See, over hilly landscapes with magnificent views or in the shade of the forests – there’s certainly variety.
  • Last-minute bike needed? In this eventuality, seven rental and service stations are available. There are also 20 e-bike charging stations at your disposal, so the e-bikes don’t run out of seam.
