Southern Austria

Sparsly populated and mostly traffic-free, don't look for anywhere to get petrol on this road. Between Murau in the south and Stein there's no petrol. A few villages on teh north ramp have hotels though. It's a good ride, especially from the south where the road is a long series of slightly-climbing sweepers. The bottom part has been resurfaced [2003] to get rid of the worst bumps but there is still a 6km stretch which will test your suspension. Don't let that put you off though, the road is worth it.
It's also fairly prone to snow falls, even in July.

This and the route below are the two major N-S routes over the mountains around here.
Mostly sweepers, but well-made and generally easy to overtake. Not for those who relish hairpins (there are a couple) but a good ride. Avoid during peak holiday weekends.

A main north-south route. Luckily most traffic takes the motorway. Mostly fast sweepers but with something for everyone.

This has to be in my top three favourite roads in Austria.
A private toll road (€7 per bike) twisting over two low passes, and some nice scenery, but who cares about that? An ace surface with A1 curves - just watch out for cows (as usual). Buy a ticket and run back-and-forth between toll-boothes all day. I think you can even stay in some of the restaurants up there.

The crossing between Italy and Austria has little to mark it out from the others. It's low, well made and not unlike the Wurzpassa little further to the east, and I always confuse the two. It can be a bit busy at peak times as it's further from the motorway.
Easy.

The best way out of Judenburg, or if you've been to the A1-Ring for a race. Seems a lot longer than on the map. Non-stop curves once you start to climb the low pass through trees.

A major through-route but with those wide long hairpins.... :-)

Ah, a jewel of a road, this one. The west side is steeper and tightish through trees, but nothing a Goldwing couldn't do with a bit of shuffling. The east is less steep but longer and faster; ton-up.

Up to the border - twisties in a narrow gorge..... I havn't been past the border here.
