Summer activities

In summer, the mountain boots are laced up and the hiking backpack is packed to explore peaks, alpine pastures as well as mountain lakes in the Preber Sport & Leisure Region, in the Niedere Tauern or the Nockberge. Traditionally managed alpine huts with unique views invite you to linger and, above all, to enjoy. Pedal enthusiasts have countless bike routes at their disposal to get to know the wonderful landscape and people. Ideally suited for this are, for example, the Mitterbergrunde or a tour along the Murradweg, a 365-kilometer-long Austrian bike path that runs along the Mur River from Salzburg's Lungau region to southern Styria. 

Mountain bike freaks can choose from 17 selected tours of varying degrees of difficulty. A special tip is the "Lungau EXTREM" with a route length of 158.5 km and the sum of all climbs with 6,145 meters of altitude.
