Road cycling in Carinthia – right on the Ironman course

Rosegg lies on the classic bike course of Ironman Austria. From our door you ride straight out: to Lake Faak, up the Rupertiberg or over the Wurzenpass into Slovenia and Italy.

Your host rides himself

Mario is a passionate road cyclist and has ridden every route we recommend himself, from the easy lake loop to the steep ramp on the Wurzenpass. Just ask him which loop suits your day, your form and the weather.

On the bike from the front door

No loading the car, no hunting for parking: from Panoramaweg you roll out on quiet back roads. Within a few kilometres you are on the Ironman loop towards St. Niklas and Lake Faak, or in Velden on Lake Wörthersee.

Rides for every day

Easy lake loops to warm up, the rolling Ironman course with the Rupertiberg, the Wurzenpass and Loiblpass on the Slovenian border, or the long climb up the Villacher Alpenstraße to the Dobratsch: around the chalet you will find rides for recovery days and queen stages. The best loops, with distances and climbing, are in our journal.

After the ride

Your bikes are stored safely, your kit is in the washing machine and you are sitting on the terrace with a mountain view. For small repairs there is the workshop with tools and a floor pump, and on cooler evenings the tiled stove keeps you warm.

Ideal for small groups

With two bedrooms, a bunk bed and a sofa bed there is room for up to seven, and three parking spaces are right at the house. Carinthia is at its best for road cyclists in spring and autumn, when the roads are quiet and the temperatures ideal.

Es ist ruhig, man ist schnell im Grünen und in den Bergen. Auch Supermärkte und Restaurants sind schnell erreichbar. Mario ist ein hervorragender Gastgeber!! Er antwortet schnell und beantwortet alle Fragen. Wir kommen gerne wieder. Danke für 3 Wochen in diesem tollen Panorama-Chalet!!“
