Pure mountain bike action - the freeride trails on the Kitzsteinhorn
Real trail fun awaits you on the Kitzsteinhorn - and in three different ways: the three official freeride routes take you downhill at breakneck speed - from the alpine landscape at almost 2,500 m to the valley in Kaprun. And the best thing? The way up is really easy: the glacier lifts take you and your bike to the start in comfort.

When the sun is shining from the sky, there's only one thing for me to do: get on my bike and get out into nature! Leisurely to Lake Zell or sporty towards the Kitzsteinhorn - the main thing is to be out and about. And when evening comes? A sun lounger, sore muscles and a smile on my face.
