Directions
Turn left at the "Moosen" village sign, keep left again at the "Heisenhof" hotel and cycle up the Salvenberg in Westendorf. Pass the Alpine school and shortly afterwards follow the road to the left. Cycle around the car barrier and after approx. 300 m the gravel road begins, on which you reach the reservoir after a few hairpin bends. Continue uphill and keep left just below the Kälbersalvenalm. After a short, quite steep ascent, you have reached the highest point of the tour. Follow the tractor track to the left and after a few ups and downs you have reached the destination "Gasthaus Rigi". From there, descend to the middle station of the Hohe Salve gondola lift and take the gondola down into the valley.
