Alpine magic on two wheels: Mountain bike tour to the Hochsonnbergalm in Piesendorf

This tour combines a sporting challenge, magnificent panoramas and genuine hut cuisine. From the apartment in Kaprun, the route starts comfortably along the Tauern Cycle Path to Piesendorf, more precisely Walchen. Past the church in Walchen, the route leads uphill on the ski lift road over the Rohrerberg. Shortly before the Naglbauer farm, keep right - and then the real adventure begins. The forest road leads uphill in numerous hairpin bends through impressive natural scenery. Surrounded by green Alpine meadows, glaciers in the distance and the imposing three-thousand-metre peaks of the Hohe Tauern, you cycle towards your destination - the Hochsonnbergalm, a real gem in the middle of the hiking villages of Piesendorf and Niedernsill.

Once you reach the top, the sun terrace rewards you with a picture-book view - and an alpine snack of regional Pinzgau specialties. Here you can relax, enjoy and recharge your batteries.

Conclusion: A tour that not only inspires in terms of sport, but also impresses with its scenery and culinary delights. A real must for mountain bike fans in Salzburger Land! Also perfect as an e-bike tour.
