Accommodation

7 nights in 3 star hotels and local inns
During the trip you will be accommodated in a combination of 3 star cosy inns and hotels. Rooms are provided on a twinshare basis with private facilities.
In Austria note that a twin room is not always associated with having two beds! Quite often a twin bed has one or two mattresses on the same bedframe but with two separate duvets. Sometimes there might be two beds positioned together, but they cannot be separated because of constraints of the room. Please accept our apologies for this, but having inspected many hotel rooms, there are not many twin rooms which have two separated beds, except in more modern or international style hotels.
*Additional nights can be booked in Salzburg (pre tour), Vienna (post tour) and Linz (rest day) for an additional cost. Please ensure you advise us your rest days at time of booking as any changes after booking will incur additional fees. Pre and post tour accommodation can be added on or after booking. Please see our terms and conditions or contact us for more details.

Grading

This trip involves 6 days cycling between 31 and 65km/19 and 40.5mi per day usually along paved cycle paths. The section of the route through Salzkammergut does involve some hilly stretches. Once on the Danube section the route is across generally flat terrain. In and out of the cities there will be some traffic. You need only carry your camera

We loved the Salzburg to Vienna trip! Though hilly, the journey from Salzburg to Linz was particularly pretty and interesting. The team at UTracks gave us all the support and resources we needed for the self-guided trip. Would recommend!

1 Jul 2023

The Salzburg to Austria ride was great. The route averaged nearly 70km per day, which is more than 'advertised'. We were in the minority being on non-ebikes. The bikes provided where perfectly functional, but solid / heavy. The logistics worked well... all hotels and luggage transfers where great. Some of the half-board dinners where pretty basic, but some others where terrific. The scenery is the highlight... and that is why we where there... and it didn't let us down.... just magnificent!

The ride from Salzburg to Linz is very picturesque with lakes, mountains, forests and attractive villages on mostly paved paths. The section along the Danube has some wider, flatter river views, but also travels away from the river through lovely areas such as the Wachau Valley. The accommodation was good and luggage transfer efficient.
