Cycling and Biking
Salzburg is one of the most cyclist-friendly cities in Austria. A perfect network of bike paths and outstanding infrastructure excite you with the prospect of exploring the City of Mozart and its countless green spaces by bicycle.
Discovering Salzburg by bicycle
The cycle path network in Salzburg is more than 180 kilometres long. Most of them run along the River Salzach and through the city's parks and avenues. Cycling fans have plenty of opportunities to explore the city and its surroundings on their own or accompanied by experienced guides. Our Instagrammable Salzburg Cycle Route will take you to the most beautiful photo opportunities, and Komoot's bike collections will provide you with our tour recommendations for the city and surrounding area. Fräulein Maria's Bike Tour takes you to the filming locations of The Sound of Music and Bike & The City combines sport with interesting facts about Salzburg's sights.
Long-Distance Bike Routes through Salzburg
Several long-distance cycle paths through the city of Salzburg offer the perfect opportunity to combine a sporting adventure with a cultural holiday. The Ciclovia Alpe Adria cycle path connects the UNESCO World Heritage city of Salzburg with the Italian coastal town of Grado over a distance of 415 kilometres. With the Mozart Cycle Path and Slow Bike, two long-distance cycle paths offer stage destinations in and around Salzburg and in neighbouring Bavaria. The Tauern Cycle Path runs for almost 300 kilometres along the Salzach and Saalach rivers into the Hohe Tauern National Park and the Salzkammergut Cycle Path offers 345 kilometres of the most beautiful views of 13 lakes along the route.
Bike infrastructure
A successful cycling holiday also requires the right infrastructure. As well as small repair stations and practical bike boxes for safe storage, the City of Mozart also has bike-friendly hotels of all categories. And more and more accommodation providers are offering their own rental bikes.
