Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Berchtesgaden à Salzbourg

Ready for a ride? This scenic cycling route starts in Berchtesgaden, a charming Bavarian town nestled in the Alps, known for its spectacular mountain views and nearby Königssee. From there, you’ll head north toward Salzburg—yes, the birthplace of Mozart and the backdrop to "The Sound of Music"!

The ride covers about 35 km, mostly on paved and quiet roads, with a nice mix of bike paths and a few sections of paving stones to keep things interesting. You’ll climb almost 400 meters early on (so be ready for some leg-burners), but after the initial ascent the route is mostly downhill as you glide into Austria.

Expect gorgeous alpine landscapes, green meadows, and maybe even a glimpse of the Salzach River as you near Salzburg. This is a perfect route for a leisurely day ride—grab a coffee in Berchtesgaden, enjoy the journey, and reward yourself with a strudel when you arrive in Salzburg’s Old Town. Don’t forget your passport!
