Bike & Hike routes
Airstream and distant views. Footsteps and silence.
In Pyhrn-Priel in 360° Alpenland, your mountain experience begins in the saddle. Signposted bike & hike routes in all levels of difficulty lead you through lovely villages, dreamlike landscapes and into the mountains. Park your bike safely at the changing stations and set off on foot: to alpine pastures, through forests, natural jewels by the water or up to summits with spectacular views.
Why Bike & Hike?
Bike & Hike combines two forms of exercise to create a harmonious nature experience. You set off by bike through valleys and along quiet paths, feel the wind in your hair - and continue on foot, up to alpine pastures, viewpoints or summits.
Step by step, this creates an intensive approach to the mountain world between Pyhrn and Priel and to the landscapes around the Kalkalpen National Park. Movement and vastness intertwine - at your own pace.

You can charge your e-bike free of charge at most of the changing stations (bring your own charger!).
The offer ranges from easy tours for families to challenging routes for experienced mountain bikers and hikers. The levels of difficulty are usually listed in the 360° Alpenland hiking and cycling map or can be found in the descriptions here on the website.
