Mountain Biking in Austria
Tours, Trails and Tips
A Dialogue Between Man and Nature
Mountain biking on Austria’s trails is more than just a sport; it creates a genuine connection with nature. The crunch of gravel beneath your tyres, the scent of damp forest soil, and the satisfaction of conquering a mountain—all these sensations are especially vivid on a mountain bike. Navigating uneven paths, maintaining control on narrow trails, and riding past rocks and through gorges heighten the experience. Each ascent and descent becomes a personal adventure, testing your limits. On Austria’s singletracks, the sense of adventure is in the air.
Here, on the edge of the majestic Alps, mountain biking is a dialogue between people and their environment. You’re right in the midst of it. The well-maintained trails in Austria are more than just pathways—they also tell stories of past natural events. As you ride, you see and hear these stories. And riding the trails is your response. You feel the ancient rock formations of the mountains, the myriad shades of green in the forests, and perhaps even the gaze of elusive woodland creatures. All of this transforms mountain biking in Austria into a way of life.

Climate Protection Tip
Promote trail awareness: Stay on marked trails and avoid riding in closed areas. This preserves the sensitive ecosystem and leaves young animals and growing plants undisturbed.
Avoid rubbish: As responsible mountain bikers, take your rubbish back to your accommodation and dispose of it properly.
Ride with care: Show consideration for the forest and meadow inhabitants. This not only protects sensitive habitats but also allows you to experience untouched nature in all its glory.
Raise awareness and provide information: Share your knowledge about sustainable mountain biking with others. Sensitise fellow riders to environmentally friendly practices. The more people are aware of the importance of sustainability and nature conservation, the greater the positive impact on the environment and the trails will be.
