What makes the 2026 season truly special
This year, Saalfelden Leogang celebrates a quarter-century of mountain biking history—right in the heart of one of the most trail-dense regions in the Alps. Saalbach Hinterglemm, Leogang, and Fieberbrunn: three locations, one interconnected network of trails, lifts, and event culture that is stepping it up once again for 2026.
📅 First things first: The season runs from May 8th to November 8th. For those who can't wait: the Schwarzleo and Knappen trails are open starting as early as Easter. That’s 185 days of action in total—a new record!
🆕 What’s new and why it’s worth it The "Tour de Champions" is the talk of the town. This route connects nine iconic sporting venues across Saalbach Hinterglemm, Leogang, and Fieberbrunn. You can tackle it as a hardcore day tour or split it into relaxed stages. If you want to experience the region's World Championship history firsthand, this is a must-do—all three locations have hosted World Champs in recent years, and you can feel that legacy on every meter of the track.
And the new trails? They are finally open from day one:
🚀 T-LINE by GoPro: For everyone who values airtime more than sleep.
🪵 GATEWAY: Perfect for beginners looking to get a feel for wooden features.
