Mountain bike

Cycling - Hohe Tauern National Park makes not only hikers’ and nature lovers’ hearts leap for joy, but also those of cyclists. Upper Pinzgau offers something for every taste and every difficulty level, be it the leisurely Tauern Cycle Trail along Salzach River or the mountain bike trail in direction of Bürglhütte.
A breathtaking panorama provides the setting for this multifaceted enjoyment: on one side of Upper Pinzgau lie the gentle grassy mountains, with Europe’s highest grassy mountain – Gaisstein, and on the other side the high mountaintops of the Hohe Tauern with Grossvenediger.

Those who do not want to explore Upper Pinzgau mountains on foot, are well on the way by bicycle. Mountainbiking is a very popular sport which is considered to be very healthy thanks to its benefits. Apart from physical fitness, mountain biking also has a positive effect on the mind. Because when cycling you can get a clear head while also enjoying nature. Recreational athletes can show off their skills on various trails. In Mittersill - Hollersbach - Stuhlfelden there are various difficulty levels and leisure cyclists, pros or hobby athletes are sure to get their money’s worth.

Mountain biking has one very special advantage: Because those who cycle up the mountain will be rewarded with a downhill ride. On the wide forest roads in Mittersill - Hollersbach - Stuhlfelden you can roll down enjoyably. Those who decide on the steep and stony trails, of which we have quite a few in Salzburgerland, have to pay attention even when riding downhill. Because the forest trails full of roots and rocks also pack a punch.
In any case, mountain biking has various training effects to offer. In addition to endurance, strength and coordination are boosted and the steady pedalling trains several muscle groups at once. Before you say "On the pedal - get set - go" you’ll need the proper equipment and if you are not yet perfectly fitted out you can be sure to find exactly what you’re looking for at our sports retailers.
