There are few places on earth that match Austria's roads for savage gradients and spectacular scenery. It’s a central European country with almost nothing but mountains and lakes within it's borders. Home to countless 2,000m-plus peaks, each so remote that no one can hear you scream. A skiers playground in the winter, and a cyclists paradise in the summer
Many of Austria's climbs remain unknown. With the country's national tour commonly taking place in July, it remains overshadowed by the Tour de France, and the stunning mountains it takes riders over fail to make it into the public conscience.
