The starting point of this scenic loop is the Hauser Kaibling cable car valley station, heading in the direction of Schladming. In the center of Haus im Ennstal, the route turns left towards Oberhaus. From there, it continues past the Stöcklhütte and the Knapplhütt’n into the idyllic Gumpental valley.
Once in Gumpental, a short detour to the Stanglalm is well worth it – the perfect place for a snack or a short break. The route then continues almost entirely flat to Gumpenberg, passing the renowned Hotel Höflehner. A steep, paved descent follows down to Ruperting, after which a relaxed final section takes you back to the starting point in Haus.
Note (valid for 2025):
The route is not recommended on weekdays due to construction work. On weekends, however, it is fully accessible.

The right bike: mountain bike or gravel bike with studded tyres, racing bikes are not recommended.
Breakdowns can happen - but rarely at the doorstep of one of the numerous service points: a basic kit of tools and accessories therefore never hurts! Spare inner tube and/or repair kit, universal spanner, air pump, brake and shift cable, as well as a screwdriver can never hurt.
Chargers for Bosch e-bikes are available at the Stangl Alm (Gumpental) and the Seewigtal Stüberl (parking area Steirischer Bodensee).
