Top 3 Motorcycle Events in Austria That Might Be Worth Your Time

Looking for the best motorcycle events in Austria? Finding a great event to attend has never been easier. We must note that there aren’t many events to discover and attend, but the actual ones are so popular and attractive that you don’t want to miss them.

bike park leogang

Saalbach-Hinterglemm, Leogang, Fieberbrunn – Austria’s bike parks

Saalbach, Hinterglemm, Leogang and Fieberbrunn are towns between Salzburg and Innsbruck, promoted as the Austria’s largest bike region. I spent a week there in July this year and there is indeed a lot to do there, although under the slogan “largest in Austria”, I expected it to be even bigger.

via ferrata johann, dachstein

Via ferratas at Dachstein region – difficult and beautiful

Since I did my first via ferrata two years ago – at Hohe Wand, I knew that I have to visit the region of Dachstein. This is where you can find several via ferratas graded D, and even E, where I wanted to challenge myself. This year I had an opportunity.

Via ferratas in Silberkar gorge

Silberkar gorge in the Dachstein massif can be a great idea for a family day out but you can connect it also with via ferratas. In the gorge and above the Silberkar Hut there are three short but interesting via ferratas.

Via ferrata trails in Lienz Dolomites

After few days in Brenta, we relocated to Lienz Dolomites to try more difficult via ferratas. I was satisfied! The views aren’t so amazing as in Brenta but still wonderful and via ferratas were really challenging for me, especially the last one ;)

kitzbuhel alps alpbach summer

Biking and hiking in Kitzbühel Alps

Wide, nice valleys, beautiful views from the top of the mountains and the best – 20 km downhill! It was my first biking trip in mountains and I have to repeat it :)

wildfahrte ferrata

Wildfährte – ferrata with great views and medium difficulties

One before last day in Austrian Alps I made a trip from Habsburghaus to Karl-Ludwig-Haus through via ferratas Kaisersteig and Wildfährte. It wasn’t long and hard journey so it was perfect for me this day, as I didn’t feel great.

haid-steig

Via ferrata Haid-Steig in Rax: I liked it!

The best via ferrata I climbed during my journey in Austria in June. It was a challenge for me, but I didn’t have to struggle to do it. It also offers great views and is pretty long.

raxalpe

Through thickets to Raxalpe

After closed mountain huts in previous days, this time I came across closed trails and overgrown paths, which looked like noone walked there for few years. The route ended at Habsburghaus located in beautiful scenery of Raxalpe.

hochschneeberg

Schneeberg – the highest mountain range of Lower Austria

You won’t find high mountains in Lower Austria. The highest peak – Hochschneeberg (Klosterwappen) is only 2076 m high but it doesn’t mean it’s not worth to visit. I had beautiful weather and views were so lovely, that today I had serious problem with choosing which photos to show you :)
