Cycling and Climbing in Austria

While there’s plenty of information available about mountain climbing, it often focuses on the well-known ‘Tour’ cols in the French Alps or the famous ‘Giro’ cols in the Italian Dolomites. However, Austria boasts several captivating, challenging climbs that are worth experiencing. On this site, I’ve described some of the most beautiful climbs in blog form, accompanied by numerous photos. Nevertheless, the list is far from complete. I’ll continue to add to it whenever I have the opportunity to venture towards the Alps with my road bike.

I hope that after reading about my experiences, you’ll feel inspired to visit this beautiful Alpine country yourself. The climbs are divided by state, but there’s also an overview map available. You can access them through the menu or in the sidebar. Enjoy reading and happy cycling! – Chris
