Augst Trail S501

The Augst Trail in Altaussee offers around three kilometers of pure riding fun on unpaved paths—ideal for trail lovers who want to combine mountain biking holidays in Ausseerland with action. The perfectly maintained trail is suitable for both classic mountain bikes and e-mountain bikes and offers a variety of sections in a beautiful natural setting.

The start is at the Loser Ski Arena car park. The tour begins with an approximately five-kilometer climb along the paved Loser Panoramastraße to the marked starting point of the trail. From there, the actual single trail begins, winding its way downhill through several natural sections with flowing passages, tight hairpin bends, and small bridges.

The trail is divided into four sections:

• Schusterwald section: 905 meters | Difficulty: medium

• Simakehre section: 759 meters | Difficulty: easy

• Hiasnwald section: 831 meters | Difficulty: easy

• Moosgraben section: 731 meters | Difficulty: easy

The route ends at the underpass of the Panoramastraße. From there, the last section leads back to the starting point on asphalt.

This mountain bike trail tour offers both beginners and experienced bikers the ideal terrain for a fun descent with a view. Combined with the Mountain Bike Panorama Tour Loser, it becomes a sporty overall experience.
