Cycling day trip from Salzburg to Bad Gastein

Kick off your cycling adventure in the picturesque city of Salzburg, known for its stunning baroque architecture and as the birthplace of Mozart. As you pedal away from this cultural gem, you'll cruise through serene landscapes that are a cyclist's dream, with a mix of quiet roads and scenic paths making up most of your ride.

The journey to Bad Gastein covers 140 kilometers of mainly asphalted surfaces, with some sections that will shake things up a bit with gravel and even a dash of paving stones – just to keep things interesting! You'll climb up to a maximum elevation of about 1044 meters, adding a bit of challenge with a total ascent of over 2700 meters. But hey, no pain, no gain, right?

Keep your camera handy, because the alpine views along the way are spectacular. As you approach Bad Gastein, known for its beautiful waterfalls and thermal hot springs, you might want to reward yourself with a relaxing soak. This spa town is the perfect place to wind down after a day of cycling.

Remember to pack some snacks, enjoy the journey, and don't forget to gloat about your two-wheeled triumph upon arrival! Safe travels!
