Beautiful and versatile Bike & Hike tour with great opportunities for refreshments on the scenic mountain Lackenkogel.

(Bike part, overall: approx. 16km & 750m elevation gain / Hike part, overall: approx. 4km & 400m elevation gain)

The Bike & Hike Tour Lackenkogel is a combination of the E-MTB route "SW31 b+c Sattelbauer-Lackenalmen" and the hike to the summit of Lackenkogel via trail No. 73. Starting from the center of Flachau, we follow the bike signage (SW31b) northward, initially on asphalt and then onto a very quiet, natural forest path with moderate incline leading to the mountain inn Sattelbauer (refreshment option, E-Bike charging station available). From there, we follow the signage SW31c through partly relatively steep sections into the beautiful alpine area below Lackenkogel. Just above the Hinterkuchlberghütte, there is a parking area for E-Bikes. From there, we follow the forest road to the Lackenalmsattel, from where we then head left on trail No. 73 towards the scenic summit of Lackenkogel. We descend back down the same trail towards Lackenalmen, then continue to Sattelbauer, and finally return to the center of Flachau.
