Salzburger Land - bike infrastructure at its best

Mountain biking and e-biking in Salzburger Land

The almost 5,000 kilometres of mountain bike trails in Salzburger Land speak for themselves - people here are dedicated to mountain biking. The region was an early pioneer and has built up a harmonious bike infrastructure. Mountain biking is really lived here - but that's not all: numerous bike parks and official trails line this beautiful province in Austria, not to mention the bike events: There's the UCI MTB World Cup in Saalfelden/Leogang, for example, or the Stoneman Taurista, to name but a few.

From the Salzburger Sportwelt with its marvellous swimming lakes to the bike meccas in Pinzgau - it's not easy to choose. But we think it's nice to have this luxury problem! Because each region has its very own charm and character.

Host Leo, an experienced competitive biker, has probably passed on his passion for mountain biking to his son Chris, who is now a certified bike and freeride guide and knows the most beautiful routes that start right on the doorstep - including downhill and single trails.

I, your host Alexandra, know every mountain and every tour in the valley and the surrounding area. You'll find me more often in the hotel in bike clothing than in a traditional dirndl. I always have casual insider tips for you!
