Naturhotel Schütterbad
A holiday at the Naturhotel Schütterbad feels a bit like a holiday with good friends. Host Leo not only shares his passion for mountain biking with his guests - his son Chris is now also a bike & freeride guide. He knows the most beautiful downhill and single trails in the Unken region in the Salzburger Saalachtal and the best tours that start directly from the Naturhotel. The friendly family-run hotel is the ideal base camp for your active biking holiday in the heart of the stunning Salzburg mountains. The former spa & bathhouse has a long tradition of pleasure and wellness, as the healing spring that feeds the Schütterbad has always been recognised as having special health-promoting properties. In the summer months, yoga sessions at the natural bathing pond with Steffi provide additional relaxation.

Leo Pfaffenbichler
I, Leo, am one of the bike dinosaurs in the region. I don't really need maps in the Alps any more, but there's always something for me to discover and I'm always happy to pass on my experiences and tips from my rides. My favourite tour is the Kaiserschmarrnrunde to the Litzlalm, which means a stop for refreshments and lots of photography is a must on the tours. I always ride my Cannondale on bike tours, bike trips or bike races. (since lefty forks have been available)
Chris Pfaffenbichler
Hi, I'm Chris, your state-certified mountain bike and bike park freeride guide. Having grown up in Unken, I know every little natural gem and every single trail. When it comes to mountain biking, I can certainly give you a few tips on technique, as my life has revolved around enduro biking for several years now and I'm always working on improving my skills - you never stop learning.
