Experience the Mountain.Bike.Spirit in the Kitzbüheler Alps!
The Kitzbüheler Alps extend in the federal states of Tyrol and Salzburg between the Zillertal in the west and the Pinzgau in the east. The predominantly medium-sized mountains with green slopes and alpine meadows are perfect for great bike tours with breathtaking views of the Wild Kaiser, the Hohe Tauern, and the Steinberge. Many cool trails can be enjoyed at the end of a great tour, such as the flowing, easy Hahnenkamm Trail or the challenging classic, the Fleckalm Trail, with many technical root passages. Both trails are absolute highlights and extend nearly 1000 vertical meters downhill. In the four days, we want to show you the delicacies of this region, both uphill with the most beautiful tours and downhill on the coolest trails in the region. We will progress into a new area of the Kitzbüheler Alps on each stage to show you the entire region. Each stage includes a great stop at an original alpine hut and a descent on one of the Big Five Trails in the area! We will use our shuttle so that we can skip the boring sections and get to the fun tours and trails faster, allowing us to complete a few extra runs and each day have more descent than ascent on the clock.
All participants will be divided into different small groups by our licensed guides so that no one feels over- or under-challenged and everyone gets their money's worth.
Tours up to a maximum of 1000 vertical meters and 45 km
Primarily on forest and gravel roads, with few to no easy trail sections
In Group 1 Comfort/Enjoyment/Experience, the name is also our program. We want everyone to have fun and return with a good feeling at the end of the tour, ready for new adventures the next day. The pace will be adapted to the slowest participant; during uphill sections, everyone can find their own pace. We will take enough time for the fantastic views, photo stops, and culinary enjoyment at an authentic stop.
