Bachler Trail
Highlight (Segment) • Trail
It continues with a relatively constant gradient comfortably on slightly stony forest ground with a few switchbacks and stream bed crossings.
All in all, a beautiful, natural trail with a great view which is mostly also suitable for beginners.

S2 Downhill Trail to Zeller See
Highlight (Segment) • Trail
As always officially not for mountain bikes.
According to hearsay in the end like controlled.
But locals drive the way too ...
At one point quite steep - but you can push there for emergency ;-)

A beautiful alpine hut with a fantastic view, it's a pleasure to linger here. They not only provided food and drinks for us cyclists, but also, upon request, juice for our e-bikes ;-) We certainly needed it...

If you find the Maiskogel trail too easy and the Wüstlau Trail too challenging, this might be the perfect trail for you! However, you should definitely have some experience with switchbacks.

The upper section of the trail, not shown in this highlight, presents the greatest challenge! Large boulders and steep terrain are omnipresent here! The rock and root fields are found in the middle section, and the switchbacks are the defining elements at the bottom! In between, short forest road segments break things up! Great trail!

Glacierjet 3+4 valley station - Very nice view from the snow-covered glacier. You get to the top (3000m) with two changes (in three gondolas). I can't say anything about the piste conditions, as we weren't skiing. We paid €113 for the gondola (up and down) for 2 people and a dog, which I think is quite a sport. The view is fantastic, the hiking options are quite limited. It's easy to do with a dog in the gondolas (often smaller gondolas that comfortably accommodate six people with a dog - we were with friends). If you're travelling with dogs, you should be aware that the last path to the top goes over metal gratings and open metal grating stairs to the last (larger) cable car. But there may be an alternative that we didn't find. There is also an adventure path down through a mountain tunnel, where you can learn about crystals etc. at some stations. The path is a dead end, however, that leads to a viewing platform.

08/23/24 The trail is currently closed due to severe storms. Anyone who finds themselves in front of the barrier must either go back up to the Maiskogel or continue on and take the much more difficult Wüstlau Trail.

Nice long trail towards Lake Zell. I don't think it's too difficult. It's great to ride, and we didn't see any hikers coming our way even on the weekend. By the way, I didn't see a prohibition sign, but of course it might still be prohibited.

The Wüstlau Trail offers you a lot of riding fun with its 6.5 kilometers and more than 1,000 meters of descent. It starts at the Häuslalm and leads you over alpine pastures and forest to the valley. The trail is quite challenging in places, with hairpin bends, banked curves and some stone and root passages.

The Moosalm was completely renovated a few years ago and is now a beautiful, working alpine pasture. However, the climb is quite arduous. First steeply uphill on asphalt, then just as steeply on the forest road that leads directly to the alpine pasture. The hut owner is a funny guy who is happy about every mountain biker. Delicious Kaiserschmarren, a cheese dumpling soup or even cold dishes make up for the strenuous drive up to the Alm.
