Located right by the Grossglockner, 80 km to the south of Salzburg (home of the Salzburg Festival) and 8 km from Zell am See (host of the Ironman 70.3 2012), Sportcamp Woferlgut is directly on the Tauern Bike Path.

The Tauern Bike Path is a cyclists dream, cutting through some of the world's most mountainous terrain, yet almost all downhill. Passing through dozens of picturesque towns and villages, it stays almost totally clear of traffic. The path starts in Krimml, at an elevation of 3,400 feet, and ends 100 miles and 2,000 vertical feet later in Salzburg.

At Sportcamp Woferlgut, the spacious, well-kept facilities are surrounded by the magnificent mountains of the Hohe Tauern National Park. Thanks to the parc’s central location, you can indulge in an array of sights and sporting activities or just relax at one of the numerous spas the area has to offer.

The parc has put together a selection of 18 routes especially for road cyclists; ranging from easy to difficult and from 41 km to 221 km in length, there’s something for all levels. Click on each tour and you can view the map and elevation, as well as download each one to your GPS device.

If you prefer to travel light, why use a local bike hire supplier? ‘The Fahrrad Centre’ is based in Zell-am-See, approximately 3 km from the parc. Their website is in German, but you can contact them in English. For more information go to www.fahrrad-center.at and then send them an email with your request.

Bike rental is supplied via a third party and we have no control over their operation, meaning that this might be different from advertised. All rentals are subject to the supplier’s terms and conditions, and payment is made direct to the supplier.

Whether you prefer challenging hikes or more relaxed walks, you’re spoilt for choice around Zell am See. The spectacular combination of glaciers, mountains and lakes is nothing short of unique. There are at least 83 different marked mountain trails to choose from. You can scale the Schmittenhöhe and Maiskogel on foot or via cable car. Once you have reached the ‘Gipfelwelt 3000’ on the Kitzsteinhorn glacier, you have the option to take a tour to the summit (3,203m altitude), offering a unique view of Austria's highest mountains, including the famous Grossglockner. Also discover the Mooserboden and Wasserfallboden reservoirs surrounded by the impressive mountains of the Hohe Tauern.

If you like to walk with like-minded people, the parc offer their own free guided walking tours each day from mid-May onwards. Most of the tours are suitable for the whole family, whilst some are reserved for more advanced hikers. A full programme is available from your Holiday Couriers on arrival and bookings are made at the main parc reception. Please note many of the walks start from outside the parc and you’re required to drive to the starting point. Some charges may apply should the walk involve a cable car journey.
