More information about the road closures

A demanding loop for sporty bikers: From Sport Hauser Kaibling, the route leads through the center of Haus, climbing over 1000 meters to the summit with stunning panoramic views. The descent takes you through the picturesque Gumpental to the Styrian Bodensee – a true highlight for mountain enthusiasts.

This challenging tour starts at the valley station of Hauser Kaibling, passes through the center of Haus, and then steadily climbs uphill via Oberhaus to the summit. After more than 1000 meters of elevation gain, you are rewarded with a breathtaking panoramic view of the Dachstein, the Grimming, and the Ennstal. The long descent leads through the Gumpental to the idyllic Styrian Bodensee and then gently back to the valley station – ideal for ambitious mountain bikers.

MTB signage is being further improved
Throughout 2026, we continue to improve and standardize our MTB signage system. As part of this process, existing signposts are being adjusted, locations are being optimized, and some route numbers are being updated.

During this transition period, there may occasionally be minor differences in the signage on site. Thank you for your understanding – these improvements will create a clearer and more user-friendly guidance system for your bike experience.

Those who conquer the more than 1000 meters of elevation gain are rewarded with a fantastic view of the Dachstein, the Grimming, and the Ennstal. At the top, several guesthouses invite you to take a well-deserved break.

Afterwards, the long descent through the Gumpental leads down to the Styrian Bodensee. From there, the route continues on a paved road towards Ruperting and finally gently downhill back to the starting point at the valley station. This tour offers both athletic challenges and impressive views.
