For motorcycle fans, Lungau also offers a variety of routes. Mountain tours, especially, reward the biker with breathtaking panoramic views and magnificent rest areas.

Ideal "training camp" for fans of race bikes

Rudi Mitteregger – a regular visitor to the Lungau, as well as multiple “Tour of Austria” and “King of the Glockner” winner – says about the Lungau: “No other region offers so many bike routes: starting out from the Lungau are countless, low-traffic roads through one-of-a-kind countryside. You will encounter the challenges that are just right for you, such as superb day tours via the Tauern Pass, the Nockalm Road, the Katschberg or Sölk Pass. For me, Lungau is an optimal training area. Year after year, this is where I prepare for marathons.“

The Murtalbahn lifts, post buses, Austrian Railways, and private bus operators are all happy to transport bikes.
