Your Magical Journey Guide
This ride takes you south from the baroque city of Salzburg into the very heart of the Alps, crossing Austrian Tyrol into the legendary Dolomites of northern Italy. Expect a changing cultural palette — Germanic alpine villages give way to bilingual South Tyrolean towns, while limestone spires, high passes and valley views make this a motorcyclist’s feast of twisty roads, dramatic panoramas and warm mountain hospitality.

Stop here for one of the most memorable — and unusual — meal experiences on the route. Hangar‑7 pairs museum-grade aviation theatre with high-end, ever-changing cuisine (the Ikarus guest-chef concept). It’s a showpiece pit stop: fantastic photo ops, museum browsing, cocktails at the bar and a Michelin-calibre tasting menu if you’ve got time and appetite. Not a Tyrolean hut, but an unforgettable, story-worthy detour before the mountain passes. Must try: Ikarus Chef's Tasting Menu — the rotating guest-chef tasting that defines Hangar‑7’s experience
Stop for the once‑in‑a‑lifetime combination of alpine riding, WWII history and a sky‑high café terrace. The food is classic, honest mountain fare — not Michelin — but the setting turns a simple schnitzel and a slice of strudel into a story you’ll be telling years from now. Worth a detour if your route and season allow. Must try: Apfelstrudel with vanilla sauce — a warm, alpine classic that pairs perfectly with the panorama and late‑afternoon coffee.
Excellent choice for motorcycle travelers who prize mountain views and alpine atmosphere. Not a waterfront beach camp, but you get roaring mountain streams, immediate access to the Grossglockner High Alpine Road and an unforgettable Großglockner panorama — especially at dawn, dusk and under starry skies. Busy in high summer, but peaceful overnight and well set up for bikes.
A must-stop on the Großglockner High Alpine Road — quick, iconic and supremely motorcycle-friendly. Park, grab a photo on the high-altitude viewing terrace and soak in the glacier-and-peak panorama. Perfect 20-minute story-stop for any alpine ride.
This is a must-hit motorcycle photo-op: ride the high-alpine road, pull off at Edelweißspitze or Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-Höhe for a 15–30 minute stop — grab the classic peak-and-glacier shot, stretch legs on the viewing platform, and sip a quick coffee before hitting the hairpins again.
Excellent pick for a motorcyclist who wants waterfront plus dramatic mountain views and a quiet alpine base. The campground is well equipped (restaurant, shop, sauna) and family‑run, with easy vehicle access and short walks to Antholzer See. Expect tranquility and superb stargazing; note it can get busier during local events (biathlon season/summer weekends).
Pull into the Rifugio Auronzo parking for a quick, jaw-dropping photo stop of the three limestone towers. Even a 15–30 minute detour gives you that iconic 'Did you see THAT?' shot, a coffee on the rifugio terrace, and a story-worthy panorama before you hit the next pass.
A must-stop 15–30 minute photo and story-op on Dolomites rides — a tiny alpine church set like a postcard against the jagged Odle peaks. Easy motorcycle parking, a short walk to the viewpoint, and huge 'did-you-see-that?' payoff for very little time.
3 days - 2 nights - 1 festival. From 18. - 20.07.2025 it's time again: the <strong>Bruneck Town Festival</strong>! Tradition, music and great culinary offers. We are colourful!
Stop here for honest Tyrolean comfort food in a relaxed, scenic setting right off the road. With a very strong rating and a family/campsite atmosphere, Grubhof is a dependable, memorable pit stop for motorcyclists who want hearty regional dishes, a terrace with mountain views, and easy parking—perfect after a run through alpine passes. Must try: Speckknödel (smoked‑pork dumplings) — satisfying, local and quintessential Tyrolean comfort food
Excellent choice if you prioritise waterfront and mountain views while staying within reach of Dolomites/Alpine routes — pitches on the shore deliver real ‘lake + cliff’ drama. Expect a family-oriented, moderately social campsite in summer (quieter outside peak season); stargazing is good when the site is not busy but not completely dark due to nearby towns. Great as a comfortable base for scenic motorcycle days and lakeside evenings.
Great choice if your priorities are waterfront and mountain views with easy rider comforts — ideal for a relaxed overnight after alpine riding. If you want true solitude or pristine dark-sky stargazing, this is less remote than high alpine rifugi; still, its lakeside position, restaurant and spa make it an excellent, scenic base on the Salzburg → South Tyrol route.
Excellent choice if your priorities are waterfront and mountain views — this campsite places you right on Wolfgangsee with dramatic alpine scenery and easy swimming. It’s not a secluded wilderness spot (busy in summer and family-oriented), but it’s biker-friendly with level pitches and straightforward parking; book ahead in high season. For stargazing you’ll get good skies away from the village lights, but expect some lakeside light and boat traffic at night.
Great quick stop for motorcycle travelers who love a memorable, offbeat photo op: stroll the Renaissance villa exterior and garden paths, time it to the famous trick-fountain show for a 15–30 minute dose of playful surprises (watch out for sudden jets). Easy parking, compact and very story-worthy.
A high‑rated, comfortable alpine stop that pairs reliable, well‑executed Tyrolean classics with memorable mountain views and a spa — ideal for riders who want a premium, restorative meal (or overnight) after scenic pass riding. Must try: Salzburger Nockerl — the light, theatrical Salzburg soufflé dessert that says 'you’re in this region' and makes for a sweet souvenir story.
High-reward, low-effort stop: ride up the short funicular, get dramatic alpine-castle photos of the Salzach valley and ramparts in 15–30 minutes. If you have extra time, the falconry show or guided tour (45–90 min) turns the quick photo stop into a memorable experience.
Pull off for a short, memorable stop: a postcard Hochkönig view, rustic almhut atmosphere and a quick taste of house-made schnapps. Perfect for a 15–30 minute photo, a shot or two at the Edelbrennerei and a bite of Tyrolean cheese or speck before you head on.
A high-rated, memorable splurge stop for riders who want spectacular alpine scenery, reliable local Tyrolean flavors and the chance to recover in a spa after a long day of passes.

Must try: Local speck and alpine cheese board served with house bread (a perfect, regionally authentic starter to pair with mountain views)
Stop for the viewpoint as much as the food — this is a high‑memorable alpine lunch: solid regional dishes in a one‑of‑a‑kind glacier setting.

Must try: Speckknödel — hearty, smoky dumplings made with local speck, a perfect alpine energy boost and a very local Tyrolean taste.
Excellent choice if your priorities are mountain views, seclusion and stargazing — this campsite puts you at the foot of the Großglockner in a quiet national-park setting. If you need a lakeside beach or substantial waterfront activities, this is not the spot; but for dramatic alpine scenery, close trail access and motorcycle-friendly pitches it’s a very strong stop on the Salzburg → San Leonardo route.
Excellent as a base for a motorcycle leg through the Dolomites: convenient, secure and scenically placed on the Drava with impressive mountain views and easy access to the high passes. If you want absolute solitude or a mountaintop rifugio atmosphere, plan an overnight higher in the passes — but for waterfront + mountain views, town services and quick riding access, this is a strong, practical choice.
Quick, dramatic, and very motorcyclist-friendly — pull in, lock the bike, and walk the wooden catwalks through a thunderous narrow canyon. It’s a 20–30 minute adrenaline-and-photo stop that breaks up long alpine riding with a proper ‘wow’ moment.
Great pick if your priority is high mountain Dolomite views with creature comforts after a long ride — excellent for soaking up sunrise alpenglow, dining locally and recovering in a spa. If you absolutely need a secluded lakeside camp or total wilderness solitude, look elsewhere; this is a deluxe, village-adjacent base that can get busy in peak season.
Strong choice as a motorcycle overnight on your Salzburg → San Leonardo route: excellent waterfront and Dolomite views, modern facilities and easy road access make it practical and picturesque. If you crave absolute seclusion or very dark skies, consider a high‑alpine rifugio or a more remote bivouac for one night — but for a comfortable, scenic base with easy access to nearby passes and trails, Camping Toblacher See is hard to beat.
Stop for the setting more than for haute cuisine — dining here turns a meal into a travel story. The food leans authentic South Tyrolean and is solid (many family-run kitchens nearby), but the real draw is rowing a boat on the emerald water and eating with the Dolomites as your dining room. Ideal as a scenic lunch/coffee break on a motorcycle day through the Dolomites; plan timing to avoid crowds. Must try: Schlutzkrapfen — the regional filled pasta (often with butter, sage, speck or Parmesan) that best captures Tyrolean culinary character
A must-stop iconic Dolomites photo op — park at Rifugio Auronzo (toll road), take the short stroll to the classic viewpoint and you’ll have jaw-dropping spires and an unforgettable snapshot in 15–30 minutes. If you’ve got more time, the full loop is a world-class hike, but for a quick, high-impact stop this delivers.

Must try: Speckknödel — hearty Tyrolean bacon dumplings (either in broth or with melted butter/cheese), a rider-perfect, unforgettable local comfort dish.
Stop if you want the quintessential Dolomites mountain‑hut experience: dramatic Tre Cime views, hearty South Tyrolean comfort food, and the story of eating at a rifugio high on the pass. Not fine dining but hugely memorable — great for photos, warming food after a high‑mountain ride, and an authentic cultural roadside stop. Must try: Canederli (Tyrolean bread dumplings) — served in broth or butter with speck; the ultimate mountain‑hut comfort dish and a true local specialty.
A very worthwhile stop on a Dolomites ride: genuine mountain-hut hospitality, strong local dishes and desserts, and unforgettable views of the Geisler/Odle peaks. Not a flashy theme spot—its memorability comes from the setting, traditional food, and that alpine-chalet vibe that makes a mountain ride feel complete. Great as a mid-ride lunch or an afternoon coffee-and-strudel break. Must try: Schlutzkrapfen (Tyrolean filled pasta), ideally served with browned butter and speck
A compact, thunderous stop: park, follow an easy forest trail to wooden viewing platforms that put you right above and below the multi-tier cascades. It’s a short, wet, photogenic break from the saddle — perfect for cooling off, taking dramatic shots, and collecting a memorable ‘wow’ moment without losing riding time.

Not the quirky hut-stop, but a highly memorable, high‑end alpine experience riders will remember. Must try: Schlutzkrapfen (Tyrolean filled pasta) served with browned butter, grated alpine cheese and local speck — a regional classic elevated to fine‑dining standards.
Good choice for motorcyclists who prioritise mountain views, a quiet alpine setting and proximity to hikes, waterfalls and Merano’s culture. If your top priority is immediate waterfront camping or pristine dark-sky solitude, this isn’t lakeside or remote, but for valley‑above views, easy riding access to passes and a restful, scenic stop it’s very well suited.
A top pick for motorcyclists who want hearty Tyrolean food plus a local microbrew after a day of passes and Dolomite scenery. It's memorable because it's a proper brewpub in the heart of the Passiria valley — great place to swap route stories, sample regional speck and dumplings, and enjoy an easy, convivial stop before tackling more mountain roads. Must try: The local speck platter with Knödel and alpine cheeses, paired with a pint of the house Höllenbräu draft
Stop for a memorable alpine brewery experience that pairs local South Tyrolean flavors (speck, dumplings, mountain cheeses) with house-brewed beer. It’s the kind of valley inn that makes a great after-pass reward — solid 4.6-star ratings, cozy mountain atmosphere, and lodging if you want to stretch the ride into an overnight.

A very good choice for riders who want strong mountain views, secure and level parking, and wellness comforts after a day of passes.

A solid choice if you prioritise mountain views and want a comfortable, family-friendly base while touring the Alps; the bistro and shop make overnight logistics easy and the dark alpine skies are good for stargazing. If your top priorities are direct waterfront and absolute seclusion, this site won’t meet them — plan short rides/hikes into the national park for lakes or quiet, off-grid spots.
Quick pull‑over for an unmistakable Salzburg photo: park near the old town, walk up (or take the funicular) to the hilltop outlook, snap panoramic shots of the city and the Alps, savor the imposing silhouette — skip the museum interiors unless you have an extra hour.
High-rated, reliable pizza stop on the route between Salzburg and the Dolomites: a welcome, comforting meal after a day of mountain riding. It’s not a quirky alpine rifugio or a Ladin specialty house, but it delivers dependable, well-reviewed pizza and an easy, relaxed meal for riders who want something familiar and tasty before continuing over passes. Must try: Pizza topped with South Tyrolean speck (pizza con speck) — a local twist that nods to the region and makes the stop more regionally relevant than a plain Margherita.
Fantastic choice if your priorities are waterfront and mountain views with quick access to town and onward high-alpine riding. Expect great sunrise/sunset photo opportunities and easy lake access, but don’t expect a secluded, dark-sky hideaway — the site is popular and lively in summer. If you want quiet isolation for stargazing, consider a higher-elevation rifugio or a backcountry spot away from Zell am See for one night.
A solid, well-rated stopover for motorcyclists riding from Salzburg toward the Dolomites: comfortable facilities, convenient location and agreeable mountain views. If your top priorities are waterfront and a remote, alpine-star-filled bivouac, this isn’t the lakeside or high‑ridgeline spot — but if you want a peaceful, serviceable base with good access to scenic passes and regional food stops, it’s a good choice.
Quick detour near Kaprun for a dramatic glacier-and-gondola photo op — park at the valley station, grab a coffee, snap the cable cars and glacier backdrop. Riding up on the cable car is memorable but turns the stop into a multi-hour outing; for a motorcycle-friendly route, keep it short and scenic.

Excellent pick for motorcycle travellers who prize high‑mountain views, seclusion and stargazing — a solid, well‑reviewed campsite with good facilities and easy access to alpine passes and hiking. If your primary requirement is waterfront (lake/beach) this site won’t satisfy that; for lakeside riding nights consider stopping later in South Tyrol or the Puster Valley where alpine lakes and reservoir beaches are common.

A highly rated, no-fuss mountain pizzeria that makes a great quick fuel stop on the Pustertal route — grab a hot wood-fired pizza or a boxed slice, sit on the terrace for a 20–30 minute break and get back on the passes with full bellies and a local story to tell.
A compact, authentic alpine-alm stop: pull off the mountain road for coffee, speck or cheese, cowbells and wide Dolomite/Alpine pasture views. Quick to reach, very motorcycle-friendly parking, and perfect for a 20–30 minute photo-and-snack break that feels properly alpine.
Good choice as a comfortable base for Dolomites riding: expect excellent mountain views, a spa and on-site dining to recover after passes, and easy access to scenic roads. If you must have lakeside camping or true wilderness seclusion, plan to ride a short distance elsewhere — this site is more resort-like than backcountry.
Great for motorcyclists who want a peaceful, scenic farm-camp base in the mountains with easy vehicle parking and a unique sawmill sauna to unwind. If you prioritise waterfront stops, plan a detour — but for secluded alpine nights, mountain views and low-light stargazing this is a solid, characterful choice.
Great choice if your priorities are mountain views, seclusion and stargazing — this small, meadowed campsite offers an authentic South Tyrol alpine feel and easy access to scenic riding. If waterfront is a firm priority, note there’s no lake or beach on-site and you’ll need a short ride to reach river or lake swimming spots. Good for motorcyclists who want level pitches, sheltered parking and a peaceful base for Dolomites riding and local mountain hut cuisine.
Quick, high-impact stop: park, hop the short gondola to the Col Raiser summit station and grab sweeping Dolomite views (Sassolungo/Sasso Piatto), a hut espresso and a couple of great photos — ideal 20–30 minute stretch on a motorcycle day ride.

Stop if you want a reliably highly-rated, hearty refuel with mountain views — excellent for groups or couples finishing a long alpine ride. It’s not a quirky, centuries-old alpine rifugio, but its 4.6-star reputation, roomy terrace and straightforward pizza-and-steak menu make it a memorable comfort stop after scenic passes. Must try: A grilled house steak from the steakhouse menu (or one of their signature pizzas if you prefer Italian-style comfort after a long ride)
Good choice if you want comfortable, family‑run facilities with strong mountain views and easy access to the Merano/Passeier roads and nearby passes — a nice spot to recover with a pool and spa after long riding days. If your top priorities are true waterfront camping or deep solitude and blackout starlight, this site is pleasant but not ideal; look further into more remote alpine bivouacs or lakeside sites for that experience.
Nice quick alpine detour: take the cable car or ride up, grab a coffee or a speck/Knödel snack at a rifugio, snap sweeping photos of the Merano valley and the Ortler group, then be back on the road. Memorable panoramic stop that’s motorcycle-friendly and easy to do if you can spare ~1–2 hours.
Stop here if you want a memorable, pampering break mid‑ride — a dramatic setting (thermal pools + peaks) and refined alpine‑inspired food make Aqua Dome a standout luxury detour.

Must try: Tyrolean speck and local cheese board (a tidy, regionally anchored starter that showcases South/Tyrol/Ötztal flavors)
A solid, convenient stop for motorcycle travelers who want a hearty taste of South Tyrol and a proper local beer after riding the passes.

Pop in for a quick, high-quality taste of Tyrol — coffee and strudel or a few slices of speck and cheese from a celebrated local wirtshaus. Easy to park, short stop, high culinary payoff without a long detour.
Sportcamp Woferlgut is a solid choice if you want a comfortable, sports-minded base with reliable amenities (pool, breakfast, route info) and gentle mountain views. For a motorcycle journey through high alpine passes and the Dolomites it works well as a relaxed staging point, but if your priorities are immediate waterfront, wild seclusion, or dramatic Dolomite panoramas, plan to ride a bit farther each day to reach those experiences.
Spectacular, vertigo-inducing gorge with cliffside wooden walkways and thunderous river views — a very memorable stop but not a 15-minute roadside photo op. Only stop if you can spare ~1–2 hours; go early in summer, bring a light waterproof and good shoes. Motorcycle parking is available at the visitor lot.
Quick, photogenic medieval castle perched above Dorfgastein — an easy 5‑minute stroll from a small roadside parking spot. Great as a short photo stop and to stretch your legs while taking in an alpine-valley backdrop; not wildly bizarre, but a neat historic punctuation on a long mountain ride.
A good, convenient overnight for motorcycle travelers who prioritise being on the water and want a relaxed valley stop with decent mountain framing. If you’re chasing dramatic Dolomite ridgelines or deep solitude, this isn’t the place — but for a family-friendly lakeside pitch, an evening swim and decent stargazing in a low-light valley, it’s solid. Expect a social, seasonal vibe in summer; bring a good lock if you need secure motorcycle storage.
Quick, cozy alpine stop: pull in for a strong coffee, a slice of cake or a schnapps, stretch your legs and snap photos of a classic Tyrolean farmhouse set against high‑alpine scenery. A short, pleasant break rather than a major detour.
A solid, comfortable base for riders who want full-service facilities and quick access to Puster Valley and Dolomites riding.

Solid choice if you want a comfortable, serviced base with easy motorcycle access to the Dolomites and the cultural comforts of Brixen. Not the spot for true seclusion, lakeside camping, or dark‑sky wilderness stargazing — choose this if you prefer convenience, pools and a restaurant after a day on scenic passes.
If you can spare ~1–2 hours, this is a highly photogenic, slightly offbeat stop: terraced botanical gardens built into a castle hill with dramatic views over Merano and the Alpine/Dolomite backdrop. For a quick motorcycle-friendly break (15–30 min) grab an exterior photo from the roadside/terrace, coffee at the castle café and the viewpoint — otherwise plan a full hour-plus to walk a highlights loop through the themed gardens.
Quick stop for a coffee or a speedy wood‑fired pizza in a photogenic medieval street — grab a seat outside, snap views of the old town, taste local speck or a strudel, then be back on the road.
