Families can soak in the beauty of the Alps on relaxing panoramic tours or while chasing the fastest lap at the bike park, creating unforgettable memories in nature.

East Tyrol’s unique geography and topography make it ideal for e-mountain biking: the valleys are long, the climbs are steep, and the variety of routes seems endless. With around 600 kilometers of marked trails and a dense network of charging stations, you can effortlessly explore colorful forests, expansive meadows, and breathtaking viewpoints. Whether you’re after leisurely panoramic rides or challenging trails – fun on two wheels is guaranteed for the whole family.
