4 Bikes & Mountain Lover
Pedals & Cadence
The right frequency – from your pulse to your pedalling – that's what gives you the ‘kick’. Whether you're on a mountain bike, gravel bike or road bike. Warm up or cool down? It doesn't matter, the bike beneath me is what counts!
What does the region have to offer cyclists?
As part of the Kitzbühel Alps bike region, there is a wide range of different bikes on offer. The focus is clear: Alpine tours with plenty of altitude metres. And: mountain, gravel, trekking and e-bikes are welcome. Because – in addition to the many altitude metres – there are even more kilometres.
Suitable for mountain bikers?

Mountainbiker ups & downs
There are some extremely attractive routes on offer for ambitious mountain bikers and trail enthusiasts, especially around Ellmau. The combination of kilometre-long tours, alpine challenges and excellent infrastructure is impressive.
Going ‘up’ is the challenge here
Long tours with lots of elevation gain on wide forest roads and gravel paths are ideal for organic and e-mountain bike enthusiasts. There are also genuine flow trails and riding technique centres for technical training in the immediate vicinity.
Wilder Kaiser – Brixental? Over 400 km of well-signposted cycling and mountain biking trails.
From moderately difficult forest trail tours to difficult alpine challenges.

Bike Parks & Trails
Söller Bike Saloon (Söll)
Free riding technique course with pump track (‘Black Beauty’) and two beginner trails (Big Horn Trail & Badlands Trail). Ideal for warming up and improving your technique before the tour.
Skill Park St. Johann
Just a short drive away, this park offers a 600-metre-long trail with turns, jumps and elements for practising.
Hahnenkamm Trail (Kitzbühel Alps)
Located nearby, this is considered one of the coolest flow trails in the Kitzbühel Alps. Several local bike companies offer guided tours there.
Gravelbike – what a dream.
Gravel, asphalt, lots of huts, even more kilometres
If your focus is on long tours, panoramic rides and many kilometres on gravel and well-maintained forest trails, then the Wilder Kaiser is the perfect gravel destination.
The terrain: gravel and panoramic forest trails. Unlike other alpine regions, which have many high-altitude single trails, the trail network in the Wilder Kaiser consists of a dense network of forest and gravel roads (mountain bike routes) that are perfect for gravel bikes.
Variety: The tours often combine paved cycle paths (along the valleys) with gravel tracks up to the alpine pastures, offering the typical gravel experience. There is hardly any motorised traffic on the forest roads – ideal for the gravel experience.
The uphill kick applies here too.
The uphill kick for ambitious cyclists
Passionate gravel bikers who also love altitude can tackle the following mountain bike routes on their own responsibility with a gravel bike (prerequisite: wide, stable tyres).
Ascent to Obere Regalm (Route 272)
This is a short, crisp climb on gravel paths, which is marked as a mountain bike route. It offers a lot of altitude gain over a short distance – perfect interval training for your calves.
Alpine pasture climbs
Take advantage of the mountain bike routes to alpine pastures such as the Rübezahlalm or the Jägerwirt (provided the quality of the paths allows it). Here you will find long climbs on gravel with the ultimate refreshment stop as a reward.
Good to know
Local information
Use the latest cycling information available at the hotel or tourist office. Special cycling maps or GPS tracks can help you plan your route.
Check the weather forecast – a basic rule when travelling in the mountains.
Alpine rules
Respect is important. Respect for nature as well as for other athletes. Follow the alpine rules and be mindful of other mountain bikers, e-bikers, hikers or trail runners both uphill and downhill. Of course, wildlife may also cross your path.
Act responsibly
Good tour planning means knowing the route and its difficulties, correctly assessing its length and intensity, and checking the weather forecast the evening before and in the morning.
A thorough bike check never hurts either.
Individual requirements: drinks, food, etc.
Only drive during daylight hours
In the forest and on all forest paths, please always drive during daylight hours. When it gets dark, the forest belongs to the flora and fauna.
Leaving traces?
No, nature is definitely the wrong place for that.
Respect plants, animals and fellow human beings. Do not leave behind rubbish or deep skid marks. Treat nature with care.
Cross-country?
No, the golden rule is: ‘Always stay on the designated paths’. Nature deserves our respect.
Prudent and considerate
Adjust your riding speed to the conditions. Remember: children, pedestrians and walkers always have right of way.
