The Hundstein. The royal stage of every bike week. A performance test for bike pros, a challenge for every ambitious mountain biker. Every year in September, the local mountain biking elite compete here in the legendary ‘HundstoaBiagDi’ uphill race. The record time of just under 52 minutes is currently held by the two professional cyclists Andi Seewald (marathon world champion) and Anton Palzer (Team Bora-Hansgrohe). If you are not afraid of comparison, start past the Almer pilgrimage church in the direction of Hintermoos, along the river ‘Urslau’ to Unterberg, cross the small bridge to the ‘Abergbahn’ car park and take a sharp right towards Christernreith. Now the timing starts in the race! We follow the tarmac road with a moderate gradient to the Christernhof. Here we turn left onto the forest road and the going gets tough for the first time! It's a tough 2 kilometres to the middle station of the Abergbahnen cable car. It feels steeper and steeper. We pass the lift garages with their impressive snow groomers and have to concentrate fully so as not to lose traction. As soon as we have left the Bärmooshütte on the right, there is time to catch our breath again. We follow the path to the Schwarzeckbahn mountain station and continue in the direction of Abergalm. We cross the Aberg in a westerly direction and use the two short descents to recover. Shortly before the Grießbachhütte (eBike petrol station), we can see it for the first time: The Statzerhaus on the Hundstein. However, it is still 6 kilometres from here to the summit. It is peppered with steep ramps, but also fantastic views of the glacier worlds around the Großvenediger and Kitzsteinhorn. Three kilometres before the finish, there is a small challenge: 150 extra metres of altitude difference up to the Langegg and the Bergstadl (eBike filling station). Otherwise, we follow the trail to the long-awaited summit drink at Heidi's at the Statzerhaus. At 2117 metres above sea level, we enjoy the panoramic view of the Salzburg mountains before plunging into the descent to Zell am See. After a steep but not too difficult trail, we follow the forest road in the direction of Thumersbach, past the Enzianhütte to the lido directly on Lake Zell. After a dip in the cool water, we roll relaxed via Maishofen, Gerling and Almdorf back to Maria Alm.
Just follow the signs for "MA 04 Hundstein Loop." You start at the tourist office in Maria Alm and take the road behind the church to the main road (B164). After about 50m on the federal road, turn right to cross the Urslau. Immediately after the bridge, turn left and follow the path to the Unterberg district. There, take the path that leads you through Gasthof Christernreith, Grießbachalm (e-bike charging station), Lohning Alm, and Dirndlalm (e-bike charging station) to the highest point of the tour, the Statzerhaus (2117m). From the summit of Hundstein, roll back approximately 200m on the same route, take the first left turn, and follow the "Rad&Bike Pinzgau" signs to Thumersbach. Then, ride along the Tauern Cycle Path via Schloss Prielau – Maishofen – Gerling – Almdorf back to Maria Alm. Every year, the legendary uphill race "Hundstoa biag di" takes place along the route from Maria Alm to Statzerhaus. Route: Maria Alm - Unterberg - Christernhof - Hundstein - Thumersbach - Gerling - Almdorf - Maria Alm.
