Cycling & mountain biking in Dorfgastein
As a certified “Genussbike-Region” (which loosely translates to “pleasure-filled biking region”), the Gastein Valley is a true paradise for avid cyclists and bikers. In Dorfgastein, the Fulseck stands out with its countless mountain biking options – and the valley boasts a variety of cycling routes for every taste and skill level.
Mountain biking on the Fulseck
Dorfgastein-Fulseck cycle tour
The most convenient cycle route leads directly from the village center via the Gruber Waldweg and the Heumoosalmweg to the Heumoosalm. From there it goes via the middle station of the Fusleck summit lift and the Reiterhütte back down to the valley. The circular route with an elevation gain of around 750 meters is an absolute pleasure and offers experienced bikers fantastic views of the Gastein Valley.

The ten-kilometre MTB single trail starts from the mountain station of the Panoramabahn in Grossarltal. It can be reached via a signposted mountain bike route from the mountain station of the Fulseck summit lift. You leave 960 meters of altitude behind you on this adventurous route. The single trail can also be started from Grossarl. To do this, first take the panorama lift to get to the starting point.
