From the Gänsbrunnweg, a narrow, quiet road leads uphill quite steeply (10％ with peaks of 15％). Sometimes between fields, with beautiful views, sometimes through forests. Nice if you like trees.
At a certain moment you turn right on the Gaisbergweg, where the tarmac is as smooth as a billiard cloth. Only not so flat. There again a variation of forest and view, but you are pedalling so hard that you don't see much further than the handlebars.
On top again lots of views, and wind, but not over the center of Salzburg. There is a jump-off point for paragliders, but you don't see them on Thursday morning at half past nine. Not late August.
If you can handle the Gaisberg, you come to the Ventoux. The Gaisberg is probably a lot quieter, but gives less prestige, because nobody knows him of course.
