About this experience

Guided e-MTB tour to the alpine pastures of the Salzkammergut : With modern e-support, you can go on gravel - and forest roads from the valley to high alpine pastures - with great views, photo spots and a stop in huts. The electric motor helps with the uphill climb, but ES remains a true mountain experience : 900–1,400 meters in altitude in ascent and descent at 30–45 km, depending on route, weather and group. You need basic fitness and safe cycling, but not trail skills.

The weather in the mountains can change quickly : even in summer 5 °C, rain and wind are possible. Be sure to bring sturdy shoes, layers and wind/rain jacket.

Our certified local guides are experienced e-mountain bikers and adjust the pace and distance of the group. So the tour stays safe, varied and really fun. Along the way, you will learn exciting facts about nature, culture and history of the region.

This is a sporty, scenic experience – perfect for anyone who really wants to experience mountains.

Detailed itinerary

The rustic Iglmoosalm with its wonderful view of the Gosaukamm is a top destination on our e-bike tours. A Kaiserschmarrn made according to an old recipe is the crowning glory for a break on the sun terrace.

Hallstatt is easy to visit on our e-bike tours while driving through. Even if the focus of our tours is on the alpine sights, the 7,000 year old culture of Halstatt is worth a visit.

The huge Plankenstein alpine pasture between Hallstatt and Gosau is a popular stopover on our e-bike tours. You can take a break at the cozy Leutgeb hut.

The Badstumhütte at the Gosau grinding stone quarry is a worthwhile stopover on our e-mountain bike tours. Not only is the historical dismantling of whetstones tangible here, but the famous "plum pofesen" are also particularly tasty.

The Rossalm is the first rustic Alm on the E-Bike Path from Hallstatt to Gosau. The cozy, flower-framed guest garden invites you to take a rest and an alpine snack.

The Gosausee is usually the end and optical highlight of our e-bike tours.
