Your mountain bike holiday in Leogang
Mountain bike paradise Leogang
The ‘on trend’ sport of mountain biking
Mountain biking is quite simply the current on-trend sport and here with us in the Good Life Resort Riederalm you will find everything you need for your cycling holiday. Over 720 km mountain bike routes promise holiday guests a natural riding experience, in various difficulty levels.
With your Saalfelden Leogang Card you can use the cable cars in Leogang and in Saalbach Hinterglemm once a day and take your bike. In the places where skiers let of steam in the winter, in the summer it is mountain bikers who are very well catered for.

Tips:
- Many routes have the option of easier or more difficult variants.
- Knee and elbow protectors are recommended.
Soft-Trail tour
Take the gondola initially up to the Asitz mountain station. After the first trail, which has a short section where you push the bike, there is the reward of a dreamy panorama, and the route alternates between uphill and downhill to the Thurneralm. From there continue on a superb forest and pasture trail to the Spielberg plateau. Pass the Spielberghaus and the Burgeralm, and the forest trail heads uphill to the ‘Eiserne Hand’ guesthouse in Fieberbrunn. A short climb takes you to Hochfilzen. Head back then at a leisurely pace on the cycle route, passing ‘Griessener Moor’ until you get to Leogang. TIP: Depending on your ability level, we recommend knee and elbow protectors.

Buchensteinwand circuit
From the Good Life Resort Riederalm it is initially mostly slightly uphill to Hochfilzen, where the actual circuit route of the Buchensteinwand starts. With its short ascents it is a really lovely, variant-packed route. The Wilder Kaiser, Loferer- and Leogang Mountains, the Kitzbüheler Horn and the Pinzgau Grass Mountains are part of the panorama of this perfect entry-level tour. Arriving in Hochfilzen again, head back to Leogang. Don’t forget to enjoy a refreshment stop in Griessener Seealm, where you get to indulge in regional, home-made specialities. On the return journey afterwards it is almost only downhill back to the hotel.

Griessner Almen Tour
On the bike path, from our hotel, the route proceeds initially for the most part steadily uphill to Hochfilzen.
There is a short section on the main road to negotiate before heading into open terrain. The climb to the Griessner Almen is a very pleasant gradient, and you can ration your efforts.
After a brief downhill there is then a short uphill section, followed by a longer descent to Feistenau. The panoramic views in this tour reveal the many facets of the Alpine mountains.
- Wilder Kaiser
- Loferer- and Leoganger Mountains and
- the Kitzbühler Horn
A variety-packed landscape that gives you a thirst for more adventures in the mountains and out in nature. Once we get back to Hochfilzen, we head out on the return leg to Leogang.
