If you ride silver or bronze, the Enns cycle path (Ennsradweg) is suitable as a transfer route. It runs from Flachau to Mandling and is fully signposted. From Wagrain, access is also possible on a cycle path.
The Enns cycle path is marked on the official route map that comes with every starter pack.
Important: During the Stoneman Taurista season, trains and buses in the valley run on a reduced schedule. A shuttle by bike or taxi is therefore the safer option.
