Gita in bici di un giorno da Salisburgo a Sankt Gilgen

Set off on this scenic cycling route from Salzburg’s music-filled streets—yes, Mozart was born here!—toward the charming lakeside village of St. Gilgen. Covering about 35 km, the journey meanders mostly over smooth asphalt and quiet cycleways, making it just the right mix of invigorating and relaxing. Expect a few good climbs (almost 750 meters of ascent), but the rolling hills reward you with classic Austrian landscapes: think lush meadows, sparkling streams, and alpine peaks on the horizon.

The ride finishes in St. Gilgen, famous as Mozart’s mother’s birthplace and an idyllic spot on Lake Wolfgang (Wolfgangsee). Take a stroll along the waterfront or grab a coffee looking out over the lake—you’ve earned it! This route is ideal for anyone looking to escape the city hustle and soak up Austria’s postcard-perfect beauty on two wheels.
