Quick ride by bicycle from Zell am See to Bruck an der Großglocknerstraße

This easygoing ride takes you from the lively lakeside town of Zell am See to the cozy village of Bruck an der Großglocknerstraße. You’ll pedal just under 7 km, mostly on quiet roads and smooth cycleways, with a gently rolling profile—very manageable, with only slight ups and downs.

Zell am See is well-known for its crystal-clear lake and views of the mountains all around; it’s a classic base for outdoor trips in the Austrian Alps. From here, you’ll ride south, with about 80% of the route on paved and asphalt surfaces. There’s a short section (around 19%) where you’ll hit some gravel, but nothing too rough for a hybrid or road bike.

The ride is peaceful, mostly away from traffic, and you’ll find yourself winding through stretches of alpine countryside and farmland. Bruck is a little gateway town at the foot of the famous Großglockner High Alpine Road—perfect if you want to grab a coffee, or even start planning a bigger mountain adventure. All in all, it’s a relaxed point-to-point spin in spectacular scenery!
