Mountainbike & Downhill

Saalbach Hinterglemm hasn't earned its reputation by chance. With over 400 km of marked trails, a dense network of mountain railways, and the 2025 UCI Mountain Bike World Championships – this valley is one of Europe's premier biking regions, and you can truly feel it here.

The Alpin Juwel is located in the heart of Hinterglemm, just minutes away from the central cable cars. Bike-in, bike-out means starting your ride in the morning and being right where the action is immediately.

Long approaches are a thing of the past – the most important spots are reachable in just a few minutes:

• 🚠 Reiterkogelbahn Hinterglemm: Your direct entry point into the region. At the top, the Pro-Line awaits those who live for freeride, or the Blue-Line for pure flow.
• 🌲 Hacklberg Trail: Starting at the Schattberg West Summit, it is considered by locals to be one of the most beautiful single trails in the Alps. First, the panorama takes your breath away, then the endless flow convinces you.
• 📸 Z-Line at the Zwölferkogel: Located directly opposite the hotel. Wallrides and an impressive backdrop make this the ideal spot for action photos.
• 🏁 2025 UCI World Championship Infrastructure: Ride the same trails where the world’s best showcase their skills – a feeling you won’t soon forget.
• 🏆 The Big 5 Bike Challenge: Five mountains, five cable cars, Saalbach Hinterglemm, and Leogang in one day. Nearly 5,000 meters of descent. The Alpin Juwel is happy to assist with route planning starting from Hinterglemm.

We are truly proud of this program. Together with Intersport Breitfuss, we offer our hotel guests weekly coaching sessions this summer – completely free of charge. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced trail rider: groups are divided by level, ensuring every guest starts exactly where it makes sense.

• 👨‍🦰 Adults – Technique, Flow, Safety: Six sessions per week (mornings and afternoons). The focus is on what truly makes a difference on the trail: line choice, braking technique, cornering behavior, and trail readiness. Additionally, there are two guided e-bike tours per week to spots you wouldn't easily discover on your own.
• 👦 Kids (ages 6+) – Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM: The youngest learn playfully with their peers – in a protected environment where fun comes first. The smile after their first successfully completed trail is priceless.
• 🤘 Teenagers – Youth Shred, Monday to Friday afternoons: Jumps, bunny hops, complex trail challenges, and plenty of airtime. For everyone who can't go fast or high enough – real progression instead of just park laps.

⚠️ Important: Places are limited and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Registration directly at the time of booking or during check-in is recommended.
