Cycling and mountain biking around the Großglockner

Bruck and the neighboring town of Fusch are a true paradise for everyone on 2 wheels. Mountain bikers, road bikers and also quite normal bikers will find countless possibilities here in all degrees of difficulty.

The well-known Tauern Cycle Path also leads through our village.
Countless mountain bike routes start from Bruck; ascents on forest roads lead to high-altitude alpine pastures and summit huts. You will enjoy the stunning panoramic view of the surrounding 3,000-meter peaks. Adventurers and adrenaline junkies get their money’s worth on the steep downhill tracks (often only half a meter wide).

Families, on the other hand, love the bike paths in the wide Zell basin and around the Zellersee or to Kaprun.

The ultimate challenge for cyclists is to conquer the highest mountain of Austria – the Grossglockner.

The racing and training tracks and extensive tours lead through untouched nature.

Ferleiten is not only a popular family biking area with comfortable mountain bike trails.

Next to the zoo you can find adorable viewpoints and appealing places for a romantic picnic.
