Gaisberg Summit

Highlight • Summit

The Gaisberg - the local mountain of the city of Salzburg and a magnet for all kinds of athletes. Road bike, mountain bike, trail running, hiking or paragliding (first summit at the Red Bull X-Alps) - everything is possible up here.

Virtually within walking distance of the city, there are countless opportunities to climb this 1,200-meter-high mountain with its antenna that can be seen from far away. It's virtually impossible to get lost or go astray, you'll always come out somewhere and, if you can see the city, you'll also be able to get back down again. The Goas and the hut on the summit plateau invite you to stop for a rest.

If your legs are heavy, there's also a bus that takes you straight back to the city for a few euros.

Gersberg to Oberjudenberg Trail Running Segment

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Here you can walk over hill and dale, through a fairytale forest. This section is a minimally technical single trail that is mostly flat.

Shortly after sunrise, when the paths are still wet from the morning dew, you are sometimes lucky and see a fire salamander or scare away a chamois.

View of Salzburg from the Hettwer Bastion

Highlight • Viewpoint

The city of Salzburg wins photographers' hearts with its many top photo spots and beautiful viewpoints. The Austrian city is a paradise when it comes to providing beautiful photo opportunities. Taking a bad photo of Salzburg is almost impossible. The city is too photogenic for bad pictures.

The weather was perfect for me, although unpleasant. Fog on the Gaisbergspitze, rain, storms and cold. But I made it to the finish line! That was my trail season. This weekend was a highlight alongside the Mozart100 and the Grossglockner. Now it's time to move on to new shores!

... (mostly) steeply up, (mostly) much less steeply down again and at the end along the Salzach back to the city center. 🙃 It's cool what you can see and experience, even if you start walking in the middle of a city. ... at least if you choose the right city for it. 😁 Greetings from Salzburg!
