The tour
The tour begins at the Hauser Kaibling valley station and leads through Weißenbach to Birnberg, continuing towards Ramsau-Rössing. Challenging but rewarding climbs take you to Ramsau Ort, where the route follows the Schildlehenstraße to the Dachsteinstraße. The final 5 kilometers to the Dachstein Cable Car valley station, the highest point of the tour, are tackled via steep switchbacks.

The return route leads through Ramsau Vorberg to Pichl, passing the picturesque Pichl Lake. The Preuneggstraße begins with a steep ascent, followed by a wooden bridge crossing and the path heading toward Rohrmoos. The route then passes through Rohrmoos, by the Tauernalm restaurant, and descends into Schladming. From there, the route continues through Untere Klaus and Lehen, ultimately returning to the Hauser Kaibling valley station.

Highlights:
  • Panoramic Views: Spectacular vistas of the Dachstein Massif and Schladminger Tauern.
  • Dachstein Glacier Cable Car: A detour to the Dachstein Glacier Cable Car is highly recommended to experience the stunning glacier world (advance gondola reservations required).
  • Pichl Lake: Ideal for a refreshing break surrounded by nature.
  • Culinary Delights: Numerous inns along the route, such as the Brückenhof or Tauernalm, offer well-deserved refreshments.

The Right Bike: a road bike or gravel bike is 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.
