This year I enjoyed two weeks of mountainbiking in the Austrian and Swiss Alps. First stop was Austria. Through Bike Holidays<\/a> I found an all-in 7-day package with 5 days of guided biking in Lermoos in the Zugspitz Arena. Really good: no hassle finding my own way up (and down), just follow the guide and have fun.<\/div>\n

The hotel I stayed in was also very good, really all you need during a week of biking: breakfast, afternoon snacks and dinner included; bike garage, bike wash, heated swimming pool, sauna, good atmosphere, friendly people, etc.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Oh, and before I forget: yes, it is a beautiful area for mountain biking. Steep, technical climbs, flowy forest trails, fast rocky downhill tracks, hairpin turns, tight switchbacks with rocks and roots, gravel roads, you name, they have it.<\/p>\n

Really good fun, I’ll let the photos do the talking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
