Mountain bikers feel right at home in Salzburger Land. Legendary trails against a high alpine backdrop, perfectly constructed lines in the bike parks and freeride areas are simply great fun. From beginners to pros, everyone will find their best line here.
Ambitious athletes can grit their teeth on endless climbs and are rewarded at the top with magnificent mountain views. The destination is often one of the many excellent alpine summer huts that welcome hungry bikers with the regional delicacies of Salzburger Land. Prepared with cheese and bacon from the mountain pastures along which these bike tours lead. Biking in Salzburger Land is a real treat.
