Biking above the treeline

Riding down an alpine pass or peak is one of the most satisfying experiences you can have in mountainbiking! Epic views and long downhills, the sensation of achievement and adventure adds to that rewarding feeling.

Several destinations have understood this fascination and created great offerings for guests. Route proposals and shuttle assistance provided by mountainbiking destinations allow easy access to the high altitude to a larger number of bikers.

Other mountains in contrast are barely tapped and represent almost uncharted territory for biking. Such places typically require more experience and are only suitable for expert riders. In addition to absolute fitness and bike skill, mountaineering experience is also required. Understanding the weather, reading maps, navigation in rugged terrain and sure-footedness are just some prerequesites for such endeavors!
