Quick ride by bicycle from Altaussee to Bad Aussee

This scenic ride takes you from the beautiful lakeside village of Altaussee down to the charming spa town of Bad Aussee. The route is just under 5 km, making it perfect for a leisurely cycle—expect gentle ups and downs but overall more descent than climb as you travel from the edge of Lake Altaussee into the valley.

Most of the route follows quiet roads, so you'll enjoy peaceful surroundings with only the occasional car. While about half the surfaces aren’t specified, you’ll be on a mix of paved roads and a short stretch of cobblestone, giving it a nice, countryside feel.

Altaussee is famous for its crystal-clear lake and its history as an artists’ retreat, while Bad Aussee, nestled at the confluence of three rivers, is the cultural heart of the Styrian Salzkammergut and well known for its colorful daffodil festival each spring. All in all, it’s a relaxing and pretty spin between two postcard-perfect Austrian towns!
