Mountain biking

High-altitude mountain bike trail from Piesendorf via the Hochsonnbergalm and the Pinzgauer Hütte. Enjoy the unique view from the high trail below the Pinzgauer walk to the Pinzgauer hut: the Großglockner and the Hohe Tauern in the south are always in view.

You start in Piesendorf. You can park here or travel with the Pinzgaubahn. The first few meters lead you through the beautifully wide Salzach Valley. You slowly cycle up the serpentines of a forest path and get a great overview of the Salzach Valley. At the Hochsonnbergalm you reach the highest point of this tour. Treat yourself to a break and then a long, beautiful descent.

On the way into the valley you will pass the Pinzgauer Hütte. The little detour is worth it. From the panorama terrace you can enjoy the view of the sunny valley before you roll the last ten kilometers back to Piesendorf im Tal.

Wide forest road towards Hochsonnbergalm

Highlight • Trail

Well-developed route with a decent incline. This is where organic bikers work up a sweat. However, there are always flatter passages to take a breather.

Great views of the snow-capped peaks of the Hohe Tauern. And the hut is not far from here either.

Hochsonnbergalm at 1,841 meters above sea level

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The rustic alpine hut is located in the middle of the certified hiking villages Piesendorf Niedernsill. In the cozy hut, hikers and mountain bikers are spoiled with Pinzgau specialties or a hearty alpine snack. A unique natural spectacle awaits you on the sun terrace: idyllic Tauern valleys surrounded by the 3,000 m peaks of the Hohe Tauern and rugged glaciers.

Pinzgauer Hütte at 1,704 meters above sea level

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Pinzgauer Hütte is a well-known location for hikers, mountaineers and bikers. The location, in the middle of the Schmittenhöhe hiking area - surrounded by the Kitzbüheler Alpen/Pinzgauer Grasberge - is ideal for a leisurely break with a fantastic view. Let yourself be pampered with traditional, regional delicacies on the spacious sun terrace with panoramic views or in one of the cozy parlours.

June 28, 2024,Von Piesendorf auf die Schmittn und Hochsonnbergalm

Even if the weather wasn't as nice as you would have liked it to be on this tour, it was a great ride! On beautiful forest roads we climbed about 1200 meters up to the Schmittn and then further to the Hochsonnbergalm! You have a fantastic view of all of Austria's high mountains! You should definitely do it. The ascent …

We select one of the mountain bike routes recommended on the Zell am See website. Wonderful ascent (without electricity) from Piesendorf over forest roads (up to 14% incline) to Schmittenhöhe. The traverse from there to the Hochsonnbergalm is one of the highlight of the tour: Relatively flat and continuously good vantage points into the magnificent mountain world! At the Hochsonnbergalm …

We had to tackle the third tour in the group twice. On one of the rental bikes, the crank screw has passed and with it the crank. It was good that we were still in the approach and could turn back so easily. But the day was over and so we had to postpone the tour. The weather seemed much …

I started under overcast skies and at 1700m it suddenly started to rain and there were still bits of snow. A young couple helped me push the bike over a pile of snow at one point
