RUSH 300 – 300 Kilometers. 3,000 Meters of Altitude. An Unforgettable Day.

Starting point: Ritzensee, Saalfelden Leogang. The day is still calm over the lake – but what follows is anything but quiet.

We roll through Zell am See towards Pongau, on to Schwarzach and St. Johann – the road carries us into the first climbs around the Pass Lueg. After that, it’s time to enjoy the flow through the Wiestal, before the path leads us upwards: Feistenau is calling.

The route continues through Hof bei Salzburg, past the emerald green Fuschlsee, through St. Gilgen to the next picture-postcard scene: Wolfgangsee. Here you feel: This is more than a cycling marathon – it’s food for the soul. Via Mondsee, we head to the large refreshment station at our partner 1OF1 – the perfect moment to take a breath, recharge, and connect.

Then it’s off to the northern lake district – past Irrsee and Wallersee, through Straßwalchen, into the city: Salzburg City. Cultural flair meets pedal power. The rhythm changes, but the mission remains.

Now it gets wild: Grödig, St. Leonhard, Ramsau – we take a detour across the border into Berchtesgadener Land, past the Hintersee, an insider tip of the highest order.

And then it comes: The Hirschbichl. Anyone who thinks it’s over doesn’t know this climb. The executioner of the day. Technical. Challenging. Steep. But what awaits you at the top is the view of your summer.

The last section rolls us back to the Ritzensee via Lenzing and Maishofen. The sun is low, the legs are empty – and the heart? Full.

Ride Together. Push your Limits.
