Gravel Region Nassfeld-Pressegger See | Lesachtal | Weissensee

The Nassfeld–Pressegger See | Lesachtal | Weissensee region is a thrilling playground for gravel cyclists seeking alpine landscapes, unspoilt nature and a sporting challenge. The Carnic Alps define the area with panoramic high-altitude trails, historic military roads and unspoilt gravel tracks. Due to the significant elevation gain, gravel biking here is physically demanding but technically mostly of medium difficulty – ideal for anyone who appreciates long climbs and varied routes.

Along the routes, traditional alpine dairies invite you to enjoy a refreshing break, whilst the Lesachtal, one of Europe’s most unspoilt valleys, delights with little traffic and a pristine cultural landscape. Lake Weissensee completes the experience as a tranquil natural playground and an ideal starting point for tours between water and mountains.

Historical traces of the First World War lend many trails additional depth – today they are quiet, peaceful routes for unhurried, mindful gravel biking in one of the most unspoilt regions of the Alps.

That’s what makes your adventure special:

  •   Historic trails: Riding along former military roads lends the routes a special depth
  •   A physical challenge: With significant elevation gain and long climbs, the region is ideal for ambitious gravel cyclists
  •   A culture of enjoyment: Traditional alpine cheese huts along the trails provide authentic breaks and regional refreshments
  •   The lake as a natural playground: As a haven of tranquillity, Lake Weissensee offers the perfect contrast to the alpine gravel tracks at higher altitudes
  •    Alpine authenticity: The Lesachtal valley and the Carnic Alps offer an unspoilt experience of nature
