Excursión ciclista de un día de Heiligenblut a Zell am See

Saddle up for an epic Alpine ride from Heiligenblut am Großglockner to Zell am See! This roughly 54 km route takes you on a truly memorable journey, with over 2000 meters of climbing and even more descending, peaking at a lung-busting 2,530 meters—the legendary Großglockner High Alpine Road awaits.

You’ll start in Heiligenblut, a charming village famous for its stunning church and as the gateway to Austria’s highest mountain, Großglockner. The first part of your ride is the big one: a steady, magnificent climb on smooth tarmac, with breathtaking views around every switchback. The scenery here is pure magic—think snow-capped peaks, marmots, and glaciers.

After cresting the top, the route rewards you with a thrilling, winding descent to the lush Pinzgau valley. Most of the ride is paved, with a few short gravel and unpaved sections for variety. The final stretch brings you to Zell am See, right on the shore of a crystal-clear alpine lake—a perfect spot to dip your feet and celebrate.

This is a bucket-list ride for any cyclist who loves big mountains and unforgettable vistas!
