Biking in Saalbach – experience the Home of Cool on two wheels

A paradise for mountain bikers, trail fans and pleasure cyclists

Biking in Saalbach means: a sense of freedom, discovering diversity and having a blast in one of the best bike regions in the Alps. With over 400 kilometres of bike routes, over 80 kilometres of trails, modern lifts with bike transport and superb infrastructure, Saalbach Hinterglemm has long been established as a bike Mecca. Whether it's enduro, downhill, e-biking, gravel or classic mountain biking – the opportunities are almost unlimited.

And here at the Hotel ARBOR the experience begins right on the doorstep. As accommodation with breakfast in the centre of Hinterglemm we not only offer the perfect base for every tour, but also the ideal conditions for recovering after your ride: with personal service, a secure bike parking space and a relaxed atmosphere in the wellness area.

Diversity at every altitude

The Saalbach Hinterglemm bike region is known for its diverse routes – from flowing trails through crisp ascents to long panoramic tours. And then there are the modern mountain cableways equipped for bike transport, which allow the best lines to be accessed – without having to make challenging ascents under your own steam.

The Learn to Ride Parks at several lifts are ideal for novices and families who are keen to become familiar with trail riding. Advanced riders and pros can have a whale of a time on legendary lines such as the X Line, the Hacklberg Trail or the Bergstadl Trail – including technical sections.

Events with cult status

Saalbach is not only a bike destination, but also a stage for the great events. Highlights include the GlemmRide Bike Festival, which attracts many visitors every year with slopestyle, an expo area, live acts and side events. Equally legendary is the World Games of Mountainbiking, where hobby bikers and pros compete in various disciplines – accompanied by an unrivalled atmosphere.

Book rooms

Always in the right direction – courtesy of map material and GPS

Several tools are available for perfect orientation: online there is an interactive map with GPS data, altitude profiles and route info. On site tour recommendations, folders and map material are available – which we will be happy to provide at reception too. Anyone who prefers to plan digitally will find an extensive collection of GPX tracks and route suggestions here.

A tip for pleasure-seekers – the valley end circuit

Not every ride needs to be a challenge. For anyone who prefers to cycle at a leisurely pace, we recommend the valley end circuit – direct from the Hotel ARBOR. The route leads gently along the Saalach through the Hinterglemm valley end to the Ossmannalm lodge. Here regional delicacies, a superb view and a quaint atmosphere await. Afterwards you can cycle gently back into the valley – a perfect route for a pleasurable afternoon on two wheels.
