Biker Mania RELOADED

The legend is back!

The familiar sound of "cuckoo-cuckoo" in spring is followed by a deep sounding "Roaaararararroar" at the end of May. The dark sound of thick exhaust pipes, sees a knowing smile appear on the faces of the locals of the Glemm valley: "summer cannot be too far away - the bikers are returning to the valley!

For more than two decades, the humming sounds of the motorcycles has led to a sudden awakening from the interim season at the beginning of June, transforming Hinterglemm into a pulsating Harleyglemm. Thousands of highly polished machines rock up for “Biker Mania RELOADED” and a huge number of visitors populate the party mile of this legendary bike festival.

 

Why RELOADED?
‘Reloaded’ means that we are evolving without changing the heart of the event. It remains a unique motorbike event in Saalbach Hinterglemm, but without being tied to a specific chapter. Harley-Davidson was and remains an important part, but the scene is changing - and we are going with it.

 

Anyone who thinks that Biker Mania RELOADED is only for die-hard motorbike freaks is very much mistaken. Visitors of all ages fall for the gleam of the lovingly polished chrome, marvel at the machines rolling through the town over a cosy drink, party to live music or stroll through the exhibitor area.

Good vibes and cool dudes

The bike is more than just a motorbike - it's a way of life! A fierce poker face is just as much a part of the styling as black, studded leather, black and orange shirts and biker boots. But this cool outlaw image is also part of the lifestyle that many participants immerse themselves in for a long weekend. This event has long since become a fixture for all Harley fans and, after more than 20 years, it feels like a big, happy family reunion for many participants.

Triumphant Premiere 1996

 

Florian Wolf-Breitfuß was just 16 years old at this first meeting in the summer of 1996 and still remembers it well: ‘I was waiting tables in the marquee that weekend and was impressed by the many laid-back types who all celebrated peacefully and exuberantly together. It was overwhelming to see how many visitors and motorbikes turned up at the premiere - around 1,200 bikers came to the Glemmtal back in 1996. The original family flair and spirit - celebrating a shared passion - can still be felt today just as much as in the first year. And this is exactly the background to the word ‘RELOADED’ in the event name.

From 29 May to 1 June 2025, all petrolhead brothers and sisters can look forward to a varied programme with lots of rock'n roll, biker lifestyle and community. Admission is free, visitors are of course also welcome without a motorbike!
