Hotel Salzburgerhof

1. WHAT IS A BIKE HOTEL ALL ABOUT?

A bike hotel should really be designed for bikers and their equipment and offer a wash area and a secure storage room for the bikes, preferably with the possibility to make small repairs to the bikes. Furthermore, it is very beneficial if a laundry service is offered, as it gets really dirty on the trails and tours on wet days. In addition, every biker is happy when they get personal helpful tips for tour planning and great tour recommendations. 

2. WHAT CAN BIKERS ESPECIALLY LOOK FORWARD TO AT YOUR HOTEL?

We have a very diverse activity program. Varied tours with our hotel's own MTB guide are included. Beforehand, you can warm up for the upcoming tour with warm up yoga and then relax your tired muscles with fascia training. In addition to the free laundry service for bikers, from the 2022 summer season there will be a brand new SPORT BASE, where every room has its own locker for drying and hanging up bike gear. When it comes to culinary highlights, the bikers will surely not be disappointed and will be able to replenish their energy stores with delicacies from the region. Another highlight are definitely our two wellness areas, where you can perfectly relax and regenerate after an exhausting bike tour. Especially the panorama spa with infinity sky pool, which was newly opened last summer, is simply the optimal place for this. Because there are certainly not many places where you can do your laps in the pool and at the same time have a perfect view of the Bikepark Leogang. Our entire offer is perfectly adapted to the needs of athletes. There are for example, special biker massages on offer, where exactly the "problem zones" - back and legs - are treated after a long bike tour. In addition, we offer directly in the hotel a rental of mountain bikes and e-bikes of the brand Mondraker.
