The fascinating crossing of the Alps
6
Tage
DESCRIPTION:
The cross-border Ciclovia Alpe-Adria cycle path is an unforgettable experience. The first part of the bike tour leads from the Mozart city of Salzburg to the south side of the Alps to Villach. From Salzburg it goes along the Salzach on the Tauern cycle path via Bischofshofen through the wonderful Salzburg mountains into the Gastein Valley with the famous spa town of Bad Gastein. There you board the train and you can easily cross the Alps by train in just a few minutes.
When you arrive in Mallnitz in the middle of the Carinthian Hohe Tauern National Park you can enjoy breathtaking views of Austria's highest mountains. Now you cycle continuously downwards and soon you will reach the Drau cycle path. We continue to Villach, whose lively old town exudes southern flair.
