How many trails are in Schladming & Leogang?

For more information on the trail network, check out our Schladming and Leogang resort guides

Recommended bike?

We would recommend a downhill bike for Schladming. It's a gnarly place to ride and to make the most out of the downhill tracks there a big rig would be ideal. That being said we have shredded all the trails here on long travel 27'5 and 29ers so you will be able to have an amazing time on your sturdy enduro bike aswell, we'd say a minimum travel requirement of 150mm front and rear. In Leogang either bike is appropriate, though we would not recommend taking the downhill bike across the Saalbach, the trails there are good but it will be hard work getting there.

If you ride in Reiteralm an enduro bike is recommended.

You should bring a full face helmet and all the protective equipment you would feel comfortable wearing.

Can I hire a bike?

There is a well stocked bike shop at the base of the Planai & Leogang lifts that have downhill and enduro bikes for rent. They are confirming brands and pricing with us at the time of writing.

How far away is Reiteralm?

It's around 15 minutes by van. Though technically in Schladming the trails start quite far up the hill one valley from the main riding area. You can easily ride back to Schladming from Rieteralm however. a private transfer there costs €12 per person for a minimum of 4 people, and a public bus service will be running from 2020 that can take bikes, to be included with your lift pass.

How far way is Saalbach?

As the crow flies not far at all, one valley, however to ride there takes around 1 - 2 hours depending on fitness, the trail linking the two resorts is flat and quite challenging, there will be alot of pushing!

Do you need a guide?

No, not in Schladming. However in Reiteralm you will access the better trails more quickly with one. A half day with a guide costs €30 per person based on a minimum of 4 people, and is all you'll need to get your bearings quickly.

Schladming is an excellent place to get some coaching. The bike school run by Austrian World cup legend Markus Pekoll would be a great addition to this trip. Prices TBC.

If you want to get some proper back country in around Saalbach a guide is good idea, contact us if you do. You will find all of the trails very well sign posted.

Is Schladming a big town? Bike Shops, Bar and Restaurants easy to find?

Schladming is a big mountain town. It has a couple of supermarkets, many bars and restaurants of all types. There is a good supermarket 30 seconds from your hotel, and a good bike shop even closer, it's even got  it's own brewery making the refreshing Schladminger Pilsner , and a very modern and well equipped hospital, which you hopefully won't need!

Is Leogang a big town? Bike Shops, Bar and Restaurants easy to find?

Bad Leogang, where the riding and hotel is, is tiny, there are a collection of hotels, a couple of cool bars and one huge bike shop. There is a small store selling essentials. The main hub of Leogang is marginally bigger, 15 miuntes ride away

What is the average cost of a beer? An evening out?

A pint of Austrian pilsner will set you back between €4.50 and €6 depending on where and when you buy it. Dinner in a decent restaurant will cost you around €12 - €20 per main course.

Will I need insurance?

Absolutely. With the UK's departure from the EU your EH111 card no longer covers medical care. You'll also want insurance against other circumstances such as bike theft, damage or cancellation for personal reasons. We recommend Yellow Jersey. Booking with us gets you a discount code for a 10% off.
