Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Salzbourg à Zell am See

Get ready for an epic ride from Salzburg to Zell am See—a route that’ll give your legs a workout and your eyes a treat! Starting in Salzburg, Mozart’s picturesque hometown, you’ll roll out past baroque spires and the Salzach River before heading deep into Austria’s alpine countryside.

This roughly 89 km journey isn’t flat—expect notable climbs with over 1700 meters of ascent, but you’ll be rewarded at every turn with jaw-dropping views. Most of your ride is on paved or asphalt paths, but keep an eye out for bits of gravel and unpaved stretches that add some adventure. You’ll follow a mix of quiet roads, cycle paths, and scenic byways, steering clear of busy streets.

As you approach Zell am See, the sparkling lake and snow-dusted peaks greet you—perfect for a refreshing dip or a lakeside coffee when you’re done. Zell am See is a famous outdoor haven, loved for its cycling, hiking, and ski resorts. This route is a fantastic way to link two of Austria’s gems while soaking in alpine charm!
