Bike rules

  2. Summer
  3. Mountainbiking
  4. Fair Play
The Saalbach Hinterglemm region offers over 400 km of marked hiking and biking trails. Part of the trails are only for bikers or only for hikers, but there are also trails that are shared by both. We want to ensure the safety of our guests. For this reason we would like to ask for mutual respect and to stick to the rules. Tip: A friendly “hello” and “thank you” ensures good harmony between hikers and bikers.
