With more than 120 kilometers of lines and trails, up to nine lifts across seven mountains, and an almost limitless network of mountain bike and gravel routes, Austria’s largest bike region is kicking off the new summer season. Leoganger Bergbahnen cable car will open on May 8, followed by Bergbahnen Fieberbrunn on May 14, and finally Bergbahnen Saalbach Hinterglemm on May 22, 2026. New trails across all three destinations expand the diverse biking range for beginners, families, and professionals alike. Beyond the trails, there is also plenty to explore and celebrate - most notably the 25th anniversary of the EPIC Bikepark Leogang.
