More than ten tours of all difficulties lead through Saalbach Hinterglemm, as well as into various neighbouring villages, and ensure the best entertainment. These include:
- Dusty Ride: Towards Leogang and Hochfilzen, the route is initially quite easy-going with many beautiful views before a tough gravel uphill to the Spielberghaus will really show who is the endurance champion at the end!
- Gravel the Lakes: Numerous gravel sections await you around the Zeller See, the Klammsee and the Ritzensee. This three-lake tour can, of course, also be tackled via Saalbach.
- Gravel-Devil: This tour leads to the valley-end, with the Teufelswasser (Devil’s Water) water play stations. Several trails, and even the reservoir, present a challenge, even for pros. You can also opt for the easier variant, the ‘Small Gravel Devil’.
- Gravel King: The ‘Gravel King’s Tour’ in the Salzburger Land region provides over 130 kilometres of highlights for experienced gravel-bikers. Via Saalbach, it takes you to Maishofen and Viehhofen, and even as far as to the neighbouring Berchtesgadener Land, and then back again via Lofer.
- Extreme Scream!: The notorious Steinberg circuit and the Tyrolean ‘Schreiende Brunnen’ waterfalls combined – fantastic views and particularly treacherous gravel passages over a distance of more than 100 bike kilometres.
- Großglockner-Runde: An over 2,000 metre ascent on Austria’s largest mountain, some gravel sections in between, and Lake Zell as a splash of colour – even professionals have great respect for this tour.
