The region around the Dachstein massif offers an extensive network of well-marked trails, known for its diverse landscapes. From gentle alpine paths on the Ramsau plateau to challenging climbs in the Schladming Tauern, cyclists will find ideal conditions here. Thanks to the location of Berggasthof Hunerkogel, many mountain bike tours in Schladming and Ramsau start right at the doorstep, accompanied by impressive views of the southern faces of the Dachstein.
The "Sonnseitn Runde" (Sunny Side Loop) runs along the sunny side of the Enns Valley in the Ramsau am Dachstein area and offers ideal conditions for leisure cyclists. The route follows quiet paths and forest roads above the valley floor, providing constant views of the Enns Valley and the Schladming Tauern mountains opposite. The track is technically easy and offers a steady riding pace, making it excellent for shorter outings or as an active supplement to a hiking holiday. Thanks to e-bikes, the gentle inclines can be mastered effortlessly. From Berggasthof Hunerkogel, you can easily join this loop after a short descent onto the plateau.
The legendary Dachstein Circuit runs all the way round the entire massif, passing through Styria, Upper Austria and Salzburg. As the Berggasthof Hunerkogel is situated right next to the valley station of the Dachstein Cable Car, you can join the alpine section of the route straight away. From here, gravel paths and forest tracks lead down towards Filzmoos and on towards Annaberg.

The subsequent descent runs via Vorberg and Pichl, passing traditional farmsteads, with another ascent leading to the Kulmberg. The final section of the tour demands endurance once again: the path leads steadily uphill via Gasthaus Edelbrunn and the Brandalm until the loop closes back at Berggasthof Hunerkogel.
The "Panorama Runde" (Panorama Loop) leads through alpine altitudes around Schladming. Starting at Berggasthof Hunerkogel, the tour begins at the highest point.
