Guided e-bike tour of the alpine pastures in the Salzkammergut
Description
Guided e-MTB tour to the alpine pastures of the Salzkammergut : With modern e-support, you can go on gravel - and forest roads from the valley to high alpine pastures - with great views, photo spots and a stop in huts. The electric motor helps with the uphill climb, but it remains a real mountain experience : 900–1,400 meters in altitude in ascent and descent to 30–45 km, depending on the route, weather and group. You need basic fitness and safe cycling, but not trail skills. The weather in the mountains can change quickly : even in summer 5 °C, rain and wind are possible. Be sure to bring sturdy shoes, layers and wind/rain jacket. Our certified local guides are experienced e-mountain bikers and adjust the pace and distance of the group. So the tour stays safe, varied and really fun. Along the way, you will learn exciting facts about nature, culture and history of the region. This is a sporty, scenic experience – perfect for anyone who really wants to experience mountains.

Itinerary
The rustic Iglmoosalm with its wonderful view of the Gosaukamm is a top destination on our e-bike tours. A Kaiserschmarrn made according to an old recipe is the crowning glory for a break on the sun terrace.
Hallstatt is easy to visit on our e-bike tours while driving through. Even if the focus of our tours is on the alpine sights, the 7,000 year old culture of Halstatt is worth a visit.
The huge Plankenstein alpine pasture between Hallstatt and Gosau is a popular stopover on our e-bike tours. You can take a break at the cozy Leutgeb hut.
The Badstumhütte at the Gosau grinding stone quarry is a worthwhile stopover on our e-mountain bike tours. Not only is the historical dismantling of whetstones tangible here, but the famous "plum pofesen" are also particularly tasty.
The Rossalm is the first rustic Alm on the E-Bike Path from Hallstatt to Gosau. The cozy, flower-framed guest garden invites you to take a rest and an alpine snack.
The Gosausee is usually the end and optical highlight of our e-bike tours.

Our cycling holiday could not start better! After a clear explanation and the perfect adjustment of the electric mountain bikes, we first got the chance to practice on site. So the guide could immediately assess our driving skills. Then we made a trip together where we got a lot of valuable tips about riding in the mountains. As a couple we also really liked the fact that the guide took pictures of us in beautiful locations along the way. In addition, we took extensive time to discuss the routes we would drive independently over the next few days. We not only received advice on the routes, but also useful tips on dining options, sights and other practical matters. During the rest of the week the guide remained involved. Occasionally he would get in touch to ask how it was going and to warn us about the weather conditions, as predicted thunderstorms. That personal follow-up made us feel safe and secure. In short: a professional, personal and warm guidance that took our cycling holiday to the next level. Highly recommended!
An all-around successful tour! We rode about 50 km through the beautiful landscape around Gosau and had a lot of fun. My guide knew the region perfectly, told me many interesting things, and led me to great photo spots. The break at two alpine pastures was a real highlight. He knew many locals there and naturally included me in the conversations – that made the tour especially personal. Absolute recommendation – I would go along again anytime!
What a day! Being out and about with Karl from Nemo Point Gosau is like a journey through paradise. Great new bikes (with automatic transmission - that was a cool experience), an extreme amount of knowledge about Gosau, historical, geological... packed into exciting stories, dreamlike viewpoints including fabulous photos, a safe, competent, and funny companion throughout the whole day, and an "enthusiast" for our adolescent children. According to our boys, this report card tour was the coolest day of the year; what more could you want. Thanks Karl, we will definitely come back!
What an amazing experience! Wolfram was our guide for the day. He is very knowledgeable of the area, His expertise in biking is superb which gave us a lot of confidence. He was very patient and made the day a relax and peaceful experience. We had lunch in the cutest restaurant in the middle of the Alps 10/10. Besides been a great guide he is also a great photographer so rest a sure you will have memories to last a lifetime. Wonderful day overall couldn’t ask for more!!
We had an excellent ride with Karl in June. Karl had excellent English and German and was attentive to our needs. The tour was well organised and Karl took so excellent photos during the tour which he sent us free of charge at the end of the tour. I would not hesitate to recommend this tour.
It was amazing, the assistance and the service was very high quality! Unforgettable.
Our guide, Karl was knowledgeable of the terrain, personable and full of historical facts of the GosauKamm and surrounding mountains… The ride was good pace but enjoyable with many stops along the way to take in the spectacular scenery. Karl took us for lunch at a former Alms now a cozy outdoor cafe. They serve fresh home grown vegatable and salads and fresh laid eggs from their chickens. In total , Karl spent six hours with us with riding time about 3hrs. We covered around 25miles and 4,300 feet of elevation. His E-Bikes are top knotch , and became a blessing on some of the steeper grades ….afterwards we stopped at a cafe by Karl’s business and had a beer or two .a wonderful experience for those that enjoy the outdoors and have a good mountain biking background, even though most of the terrain is fire road and easily managed Tom&Tina
Professional but relaxed and knowledgeable guide! Karl took care to be sure I was comfortable and safe…and the VIEWS were picture perfect! Great experience-glad I conquered all the hills-up and down!! The e-bike was a must have! Thank you, Karl! 🚲 🏞️
One of the best days we had on vacation! The ride was breathtaking - in a good way! The mountain air was sweet, the views were incredible and Karl was an excellent guide. He shared a lot of interesting knowledge of the area and its history along the ride. The ride was tailored for someone of average experience and Karl was very flexible and patient. We were tired when it was over, but our hearts were full from a wonderful day biking in the mountains. This is exactly what we wanted from this experience! The equipment was high-quality and very well maintained which made the ride very enjoyable. I can recommend this without hesitation, and if ever we are back here, we will certainly be calling Karl to schedule another ride!!
Hi Mike, thanks for the excellent rating :-) The two of you are in excellent shape, I have to say. So it was possible to make a 50 kilometers guided tour by e-bike in the Salzkammergut and collecting a lot of viewpoints. It was a pleasure, and when you are back in Europe, visit us again...there is much more to explore . Karl
Super cool tour! Planning was completely straightforward, very friendly, and simply relaxed from the first contact to the end. It was a lot of fun – absolutely recommended! 🚴♂️☀️
Vielen Dank für die lässige Bewertung! Geführte E-Bike Touren im Salzkammergut gibt es noch viele, also gerne wieder....freue mich, wenn ihr wieder kommt. Karl
