The entire region from Saalbach Hinterglemm to Saalfelden Leogang and the Wildkogel "Vacation Arena", is one of the most outstanding cycling and mountain-bike areas anywhere in Austria. Awaiting you here is an alpine world of 3,000-metre peaks, imposing high valleys in the Hohe Tauern National Park, together with wild and romantic gorges and waterfalls.

For the fourth time in a row the Adidas Slopestyle will take place in Saalbach Hinterglemm, Austria between the 14th and 17th of June, 2007. The Adidas Slopestyle is one of the largest and most significant freeride events in the world.

Nestling as the resort does in the Pinzgau Mountains, the area is fast establishing itself as a leading destination for mountain biking in Europe. The villages of Saalbach Hinterglemm have combined to create a substantial mountain resort with many amenities but without sacrificing any of their alpine charm.

The bike trails in this resort offer some of the most exhilarating mountain biking in the world and the ski lift system gives easy access to them.

There is a vast amount on offer, for all levels of rider. From stunning XC trails featuring hundreds of kilometres of flowing Single Tracks and Fire roads through to the gnarly downhill sections that will push the progressive riders and keep their adrenaline pumping!

Of course Mountain Biking in the Bike-Circus is not only for the serious Downhillers and Cross Country riders out there. Mountain Biking in Saalbach Hinterglemm can be enjoyed by everyone including families who perhaps want a more sedate ride among some of the most spectacular scenery in the world!

It is not just about the biking though. Fantastic food, a great place to stay, friendly hosts and a huge range of activities for non-cycling companions makes for the perfect holiday.

The Saalbach Hinterglemm Bike Circus has been chosen for the third time in succession by Austria's bikers as their favourite biker region for tourers and freeriders. This vote of confidence has encouraged the biker people in the Glemmtal to further extend the facilities at the Saalbach Hinterglemm Bike Circus.

Bikecircus Saalbach Hinterglemm is a real Eldorado for Mountainbikers with routes for all demands - from "pleasurable & comfortable" to "thrilling & challenging". 30 cosy mountain huts invite to take a rest and treat oneself with local specialities and refreshments.

A true highlight is the 5-Gondola-Tour, a unique freeridetour with five cable cars taking the bikers up to the mountain peaks to then enjoy single trails in great profusion.

The Adidas Freeride - the route for pros and ambitious amateurs looking for the thrill of an adrenaline kick - is 1.9 kilometres long and rises 498 metres through varied and, in some cases, quite demanding terrain on natural single trails, root and rock sections, jumps and hairpin bends, returning back down to the centre of Hinterglemm.

Appreciated equally by downhillers and freeriders alike, a new route - the Blue Line - will be opened for beginners and experienced bikers.

The Evil Eye Trails - narrow wooden bridges which snake through the trees at height, similar to the Northshore Trails in Canada - will challenge those who are not afraid of heights and look for thrilling alternatives.
