New Lines & Trails, BIKE Festival and a Season far from being over

The mountain bike season in Saalfelden Leogang and the Epic Bikepark Leogang is nowhere near winding down. You can keep chasing trails on the Asitz in Leogang right up until 9 November. And the late summer/early fall line-up is stacked – think big events like the legendary BIKE Festival, plus not one but two brand-new tracks you can ride for the very first time: T-Line and Back to the Roots are now officially open.

The Epic Bikepark Leogang runs from 9 May to 9 November – that’s 185 days of pure MTB goodness, meaning it’s actually open more days a year than it’s closed. And here’s the kicker: even after the park closes in November, some single tracks outside the park stay open. You’ll just have to pedal (or e-pedal) to the trailheads yourself.

New Line and Trail open: Back to the Roots and T-Line
The new additions are worth the trip. The T-Line, at 1.3 kilometers, is packed with rollers, sharkfins, and a massive 7-meter table, flowing between Vali’s Hölle and Bongo Bongo before dropping down to the Asitzbahn. The trail branches off the Speedster DH track in the lower quarter, carries a red rating, and takes inspiration from the freeride-oriented Flying Gangster – but with an even beefier build. 
For those who prefer their trails raw, Back to the Roots offers 1.3 kilometers of pure, hand-built, old-school freeride. Created entirely without heavy machinery, this black single track serves up tight natural lines, steep sections, playful jumps, and a rock drop finale. It peels off from the Steinberg Line by Fox and merges into Hangman II for the ride back to the valley. Both tracks are open now and ready to be shredded. 

BIKE Festival Saalfelden Leogang
A firm fixture in the mountain bike calendar, the BIKE Festival rolls into Saalfelden Leogang from 12 to 14 September. With free entry, it’s the place to check out the hottest gear for the 2026 season – from bikes and parts to protection, apparel, and more. But it’s not just about drooling over the latest kit: the festival serves up workshops, ride-outs, skill sessions, and shows for the 15,000 visitors expected. David Trummer, former Austrian downhill champion and silver medalist at the World Championships in Leogang, will lead a ride-out on the Speedster World Cup track, while slopestyle pro Lukas Knopf will take the experts to Hot Shots Fired by GoPro. Young riders can get a taste of competition at the VPACE Kids Cup and the Scott Junior Trophy Pumptrack, while female riders can sharpen their downhill skills with Marlena Neißl. Elias Schwärzler, founder of the Senders Academy, will host a Gambler Ride Out, giving participants the chance to test the brand-new Scott Gambler for the first time. All lines and trails in the bike park will stay open during the festival weekend, and festival visitors can enjoy 10% off all bike park day tickets — the perfect excuse to go all in.

auner Austrian Gravity Series, Ladies Shred Events and more
The action doesn’t stop there. On 11 October, the Epic Bikepark Leogang will host the final round of the auner Austrian Gravity Series, a popular race series that’s especially geared towards young and amateur riders, offering a pro-level setup with easy access. Female riders can keep pushing their limits at the Ladies Shred events in August, September, and October. On 29 August, the local community and bike park partners will come together for the final Clean the Trail Day of the season, a collective effort to give the trails some love. Everyone who pitches in has the chance to win a 2026 Gravity Card in the prize draw.

300-Kilometer Road Challenge at the Rush300
And for those who prefer skinny tires to knobby ones, Saalfelden Leogang has something special, too: the Rush300 team event on 21 September. It’s a 300-kilometer, 3,000-meter climbing challenge through Salzburg and Berchtesgaden National Park, starting and finishing at Ritzensee in Saalfelden.
