When to come for cycling & mountainbiking

The alpine cycling season runs from late May to September, with peak conditions in summer.

– June – Quiet roads, fresh trails and cooler temperatures for climbing.
– July–August – Full lift operation, bike parks open and long riding days.
– September – Golden landscapes, fewer riders and perfect temperatures.

Temperatures typically range from 18–26°C, while higher-altitude routes stay cool even during warm spells – ideal for long rides.

Each destination supports different riding styles:

Fieberbrunn – Austria’s MTB hotspot. Flow trails, technical routes and lift-access riding, combined with quiet forests.

Wagrain – Excellent for e-bike, gravel and family-friendly cycling with panoramic routes and modern infrastructure.

Bad Gastein / Bad Hofgastein – Legendary alpine roads, long climbs and high-altitude routes for road cyclists.

Katschberg – Calm, high-alpine cycling with wide paths, great for endurance and scenic rides.
