Sortie rapide à vélo de Bad Hofgastein à Bad Gastein

Looking for a scenic ride between two of Austria’s classic spa towns? This short but spicy route takes you from the laid-back vibe of Bad Hofgastein straight to the dramatic cascades of Bad Gastein. Covering just under 9.5 km, it’s the perfect stretch to soak up alpine scenery without an all-day commitment.

Most of your ride is on quiet roads, with a mix of asphalt and regular paved surfaces, meaning you won’t be battling much traffic—just the gorgeous mountain views and, well, a bit of a climb (expect over 300 meters of ascent). Bad Hofgastein, famous for its relaxing thermal spas and pretty architecture, gives way to twisting roads and that fresh mountain air as you make your way southwards.

Your big finish is Bad Gastein, a dramatic town perched on a steep gorge, known for its Belle Époque hotels and that impressive waterfall right in the center. Reward yourself with a dip in the thermal springs, or just soak in the town’s vintage charm. A fun, invigorating ride with plenty of photo stops!
