Sporty climb from St. Radegund with around 750 metres of ascent to the Schöckl mountain station and flexible descent options.

The Schöckl Summit Ride starts at the valley station of the Schöckl cable car and climbs via Radegund Klamm, Zwölferkogel and the Schöckl Höhenstraße. After a short descent into the village of St. Radegund, the continuous ascent towards the mountain station begins.

With around 750 metres of elevation gain, the route combines forest roads and the mountain road into a steady climb to the summit area. At the top, riders can choose between several descent options.

The return is possible via the ascent route, the 300 trail of the Schöckl Trail Area or by cable car.
