Description
Particularly ambitious bikers start their uphill journey at the Kaprun Center. 

To shorten the tour a bit, it can be ideally combined with the MK Maiskogelbahn.

Directions

This bike route combines sporty and challenging climbs, many trail kilometres and a rewarding destination with the best views: The legendary route uphill to the Kitzsteinhorn attracts especially endurance uphill (E)- bikers. The start of this route, just like the tour uphill to the Maiskogel, is from the centre of Kaprun via Schaufelbergstraße in the direction of Jausenstation Unteraigen and mountain restaurant Stangerbauer refreshment stops. The route from there continues to the Maiskogelweg junction, then the trail marked KA7 leads to the Kitzsteinhorn, passing the upper terminus of the MK Maiskogelbahn. Rolling downhill along the Astenweg to the quaint Ederalm is a breeze, before the next climb follows. The tour leads via the Salzburger Hütte in sweeping serpentines uphill to the middle station Gletscherjet 3/4 at 2.617 metres above sea level, and right into high-alpine terrain.

Tips
Of course, the tour is a little easier with an e-bike! :-)

You will  find a charging station at the start of the tour, directly at the Maisi Alm. If the battery is running low after the long ascent, the e-bike charging station at the Restaurant Gletschermühle at the Alpincenter at 2,450 m ensures a fully charged battery and a carefree continuation of the tour.
