Saalfelden Leogang in Salzburger Land, Austria, July 2nd 2015 – This weekend, three different types of bikers will come to Saalfelden Leogang. One will pad up for the bike park. The second will gear up for some all-mountain adventure while the third will pack up for a weekend, exploring the beautiful region on an E-Bike. All three of them will leave with a smile on their faces! In Saalfelden Leogang, this weekend and every weekend for the rest of the season, bikers can make the most of the resorts’ well-developed cycling infrastructure.
The gravity biker will head straight to the gondola and catch a ride to the top of the Asitz Mountain. From there scenic warm up down the technical “Hang-Man I” trail will lead him to the middle station. From here, bikers can choose to continue along “Hang-man II”, catch some flow on the “Flying Gangster” or maybe get loose on the UCI Mountain Bike Downhill World Cup “Speedster” track. If that is not enough, many of the other trails like the “Bongo Bongo” with its North Shore elements will certainly guarantee fun all weekend long. Lower down the mountain, the riders playground is the world’s biggest beginners area with training area, a freeride track, drop line and pumptrack.
