Vorberg Road Bike Loop
Tour description
The trail leads through the charming village of Ramsau and continues towards Vorberg. From there, a fast descent takes you down to Pichl.
In Pichl, the route follows the Enns Cycling Path, which runs flat along the Enns River. Once the gravel road begins, take a left turn, cross the Enns bridge and the railway tracks, and then turn right. A short section where you may need to push your bike, including an underpass, ensures a safe crossing of the B320 federal highway. Afterward, you'll reach the Hochstraße, a road that offers breathtaking panoramic views of Schladming and the Planai. Schladming is the perfect spot for a short break to recharge.

- Schladming is the perfect spot for a quick coffee break at one of the cozy inns.
- On a hot summer day, Pichl Lake is an excellent choice for a refreshing dip to cool off.
