Gita in bici di un giorno da Krimml a Zell am See

Get ready for an epic ride through the heart of the Austrian Alps! Starting in Krimml, home to the famous Krimml Waterfalls—the tallest in Austria—you’ll pedal your way east towards Zell am See, a classic lakeside resort town that’s just as beautiful in summer as in winter.

This 65 km route is mostly paved and has a good balance of quiet roads, scenic tracks, and a few cycleways, so you’ll be able to focus on the mountain views (and maybe the occasional cow). There’s a healthy 810 meters of climbing, but you’ll be rewarded with over 1300 meters of descents—expect some seriously fun stretches!

Along the way, you’ll follow bits of the Tauernradweg, meander through lush valleys, past sleepy villages, and maybe catch sight of distant glaciers. The ride finishes in Zell am See, where you can dip your toes in the lake or grab a post-ride pastry on the waterfront. Don’t forget your camera—these are the kind of Austrian landscapes you’ll want to remember.
