From the High Alps to the Danube and the vineyards

Austria has much more to offer than just its famous Alpine passes. Tyrol, Vorarlberg and the SalzburgerLand provide access to high-altitude mountain routes around the Timmelsjoch, Arlberg and Großglockner. Carinthia combines the Nockalmstraße, the Hohe Tauern and the Carnic Alps with lakes and cross-border tours to Italy and Slovenia.

In Upper and Lower Austria, the Salzkammergut, Mühlviertel, Waldviertel, Wachau and the Danube set the pace for touring. Styria alternates between the Dachstein, the Sölk Pass, the Ausseerland and the southern hills; Burgenland complements the selection with winding country roads and cultural landscapes. This allows you to choose a region to suit the road’s curvature, altitude and desired daily distance.

The perfect touring base for your riding style

The right base for a tour depends not only on a well-known mountain pass, but on the total distance covered in a day. High-alpine locations are ideal for mountain roads and border regions, whilst lake districts are perfect for leisurely rides. Wooded and hilly landscapes suit travellers who prefer less elevation gain and a more steady pace.

MoHo hosts provide support with personalised route advice, detailed itineraries and GPS data. Whether facilities such as a garage, washing area, drying room, tools or guided rides are available depends on the MoHo category and the hotel. After the tour, many establishments combine regional cuisine and relaxation with motorcycling expertise; the services listed in the hotel profile remain binding.

FAQs on motorbike holidays in Austria

Which region in Austria best suits my driving style?

Tyrol, Vorarlberg, the SalzburgerLand and parts of Carinthia are ideal for high-alpine mountain-pass tours. Lakes and mountain roads can be combined particularly well in the Salzkammergut and Carinthia. The Waldviertel, Mühlviertel, Wachau and southern Burgenland offer more leisurely tours with less focus on mountain passes.

Where in Austria can I combine Alpine passes and lakes in a single holiday?

Alpine passes and lakes can be combined particularly well in Carinthia, the Salzburg region and the Salzkammergut. Possible touring areas include the regions around the Großglockner, the Nockalmstraße, Lake Attersee and the Ausseerland. It is essential to have a hotel base from which several day trips can be made without long journeys to the starting points.

Where in Austria can I find quieter motorbike routes away from the well-known mountain passes?

You’ll find quieter routes with plenty of bends in the Waldviertel, Mühlviertel, the Wachau and the border region between Eastern Styria and Southern Burgenland. There, side roads, woodland, river valleys, vineyards and small villages shape your day’s ride more than any individual classic mountain passes. You should still check for any current roadworks and closures, though.

When is the best time of year to go on a motorbike holiday in Austria?

The best time to travel depends on the altitude and region. High-altitude alpine roads are generally easier to plan for during the warmer months, whilst lower-lying lake, forest and hilly landscapes are often a viable option in the early or late season as well. You should check the latest information on the weather, pass openings and road closures before every trip.

On a motorbike holiday in Austria, can I ride through several countries in a single day?

Cross-border day trips are particularly easy to organise from Tyrol, Vorarlberg and Carinthia. Depending on your starting point, routes take you to Italy, Slovenia, Germany, Switzerland or Liechtenstein. Check in advance for vignettes, toll roads, vehicle documents and the traffic regulations of the countries you’ll be visiting.
